WASHINGTON (AP) — Presi
dent Reagan’s onetime political di
rector, Lyn Nofzinger, was convicted
Thursday of illegally lobbying top
White House aides by jurors who
said they had no trouble finding evi
dence of influence-peddling.
“The evidence just kept coming
up all the time,” Towaua Braxton,
the foreman of the federal court
jury, said of the convictions Nof
zinger faced of three counts of ille
gally representing private clients at
the White House within a year of his
resignation from Reagan’s staff in
January 1982.
The jury, which deliberated abdut
six hours, cleared Nofzinger of a
fourth illegal lobbying charge and
acquitted his partner, Mark A.
Bragg, of a single aiding and abet
ting allegation.
Nofzinger, the first former high
government official convicted under
the revolving-door provisions of the
Ethics in Government Act of 1978,
attacked the statute as a “lousy law”
and compared his offense with “run
ning a stop sign.”
“I feel I am innocent,” Nofzinger,
whose lawyers vowed to appeal the
convictions, said. “I don’t think I did
anything wrong.”
The former White House political
director, who dates his association to
the president back to Reagan’s days
as governor of California, <
ceive a maximum two-year seniH
and a $10,000 fine for each ofnj
convictions.
But lawyers familiar with lU
said it was unlikely the lormerji
dential aide would begivenap
term at his sentencing, whichwl
for March 25 by U.S. DistncijJ
Thomas A. Flannery.
Nofziger was convicted ufapp
ing to then-presidential cotit
Edwin Meese Ill in an April8,1)1
memo for help getting Wtt
Corp. a $32 million no-bid hi
contract.
FBI classifies
public letter
as top secret
WASHINGTON — The FBI as
signed a secret classification to
material circulated publicly by a con
servative group, and sent it to more
than 30 field offices in an investiga
tion of opponents of Reagan admin
istration Central American policies,
according to an FBI document and
interviews.
The conservative group aide who
compiled the information said
Thursday he found it somewhat hu
morous that the material was classi
fied, and became part of a major in
vestigation.
The aide, Mike Boos of the Young
America’s Foundation of Reston,
Va., said he sent the same material to
about 500 conservative individuals
and organizations in the Washington
area. It was published it in a conser
vative newsletter, the American Sen
tinel.
FBI spokesman Ray McElhaney
said the material contained allega
tions of criminal wrongdoing over
which the FBI has criminal jurisdic
tion, and the bureau was duty bound
to check it out.
Drug cartel
launders cash,
backs Contras
WASHINGTON (AP) — A Co
lombian drug cartel made $200 mil
lion a month in profits in the United
States, laundered the cash through
Panamanian banks and spent some
of the money to bankroll the U.S.-
backed Contra rebels in Nicaragua,
an imprisoned accountant testified
Thursday.
“I am a capitalist,” Cuban-born
Ramond Milian Rodriguez said as he
detailed the workings of a far-flung,
intricately organized drug empire he
said paid him $2 million to $3 mil
lion a month for his ability to make
the money appear to be of legitimate
origin.
Rodriguez also told a Senate For
eign Relations subcommittee that his
money-laundering operation had
ties to both the CIA and the Contras
fighting Nicaragua’s leftist Sandi-
nista government. Neither connec
tion was pursued in open session by
the panel, which is investigating Pan
ama’s involvement in drug smug

Court says no drug tests on rail worker £R€
SAN FRANCISCO (AP)—The
goverment’s policy of requiring
the nation’s 200,000 railroad
workers to submit to drug or alco
hol tests after accidents or rules
violations was struck down as un
constitutional Thursday by a fed
eral appeals court.
In a ruling that runs counter to
the Reagan administration drug
testing plans, the 9th U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals said such test
ing is not justified simply because
a worker was on a train crew that
got into an accident ut drove hi |
fast.
T he court said there niusiitl
grounds for suspicion thatanil
dividual worker was underibl
fiuence of drugs or alcohol
“Accidents, incidents or ruit-
olations, by themselves, do m|
create reasonable grounds f
suspecting that tests willdei»|
strate alcohol or drug ini
ment in any one railroad cl
ployee, much less an entireitit|
crew,” Judge Thomas
in the 2-1 decision.

Rep. Richard Gephardt turned
on Democratic presidential rival
Michael Dukakis on Thursday,
declaring him ignorant of the
“complexities of trade policy.”
Vice President George Bush

Hampshire.
“I’m working my heart out
here,” Dole , the struggling COP
front-runner, said. “So can you
help me?”
Dole sounded like a man on a
roll, delivering a speech on the
deficit and declaring, "I wanUl

Study shows relations of young, old
WASHINGTON (AP) — A
little excitement in infancy can
lead to a sharper mind and
clearer thinking in old age,
according to a group of research
ers studying the effects of aging
on the brains of laboratory rats.
Robert M. Sapolsky, a Stanford
University researcher, said he
and a group of Canadian scien
tists found that giving just mini
mal handling to infant rats im
printed a hormonal response that
eventually led to a smaller loss of
learning ability and memory
when the rats readied old age.
He said the scientists conj
ducted the experiment usingw
groups of infant rats. Onegroulj
was taken from theii cages awj
placed in a Ixxl of wood snaviifl
for a brief time. The other gwff
was left in their cages and ifj
ceived no handling.
Later, the two groups wereji
through a maze to test theira!>
ity to dunk and learn.
The tests showed that the ml
that had received the adc
stimulation were thinking akj
learning faster.
