Bush denounces ‘vicious rumors’
President urges Senate to end prolonged Tower confirmation
The Battalion
8SP<
Wednesday,
Rict
By Stan Golabo
WASHINGTON (AP) — Presi
dent Bush on Tuesday denounced
as “vicious rumor” allegations
against Defense Secretary-designate
John Tower and declared they had
been “gunned down” by a thorough
FBI report on the embattled nomi
nee.
Urging the Senate to move “forth
rightly” on the nomination, Bush
said at a news conference that the re
port produced nothing to substan
tiate allegations of excessive drink
ing, philandering and financial
improprieties.
Members of the Senate Armed
Services Committee, meanwhile,
scrutinized the report, which the
White House forwarded to commit
tee chairman Sen. Sam Nunn, D-
Ga., and ranking Republican John
Warner of Virginia late Monday.
Nunn’s office said the committee
would meet in a closed session
Wednesday and vote Thursday on
the nomination.
Meanwhile, Rep. Mickey Ed
wards, R-Okla., a prominent conser
vative, said Tower should withdraw
his nomination because he has lost
the credibility needed to promote
Bush’s defense agenda.
“1 think John Tower has a sub
stantial problem,” Edwards told re-
“I don’t think that has anv-
Lawyers clash
over North role
as trial opens
WASHINGTON (AP) — Oliver
North’s criminal trial opened Tues
day with the prosecutor portraying
him as a liar who “places himself
above the law” but with North’s law
yer defending him as a patriotic
Marine who obeyed unflinchingly
the orders of his commander in
chief.
North, now retired from the
service, listened intently as prosecu
tor John Keker told the jury the de
fendant had lied time and again to
his president and to Congress about
the Iran-Contra affair.
Chief defense lawyer Brendan
Sullivan countered that North, a
former top National Security Coun
cil aide, worked in a secret world
where “he always acted with the ap
proval of his superiors; he acted al
ways with the best interests of his
country.”
Thus the two sides squared off
for the oft-delayed first trial to
come out of the Iran-Contra affair,
a trial that may take as much as five
months to complete.
The first testimony comes
Wednesday morning when Rep.
Lee Hamilton, D-Ind., the former
chairman of House Intelligence
Committee, takes the stand.
Keker told the jury Tuesday that
North had profited personally by
using traveler’s checks furnished by
a Contra leader and, on a broader
scale, had told lies that amounted to
“a crime that goes to the soul of our
self-government.”
“You will hear he considers him
self a patriotic person, but there is
no higher patriotic purpose than to
protect our system of government,”
Keker said. “To lie to Congress be
cause you mistrust it then is a crime
and not a defense.”
Sullivan did portray North as a
patriot, saying he believed in the
Marine motto “Semper Fidelis” —
always faithful.
“He lived with that Marine Corps
motto. He was always faithful to
country, to commander in chief, to
his family, to those whose lives de
pended on him,” said Sullivan.
And yet, said the defense attor
ney: “Lt. Col. Oliver North has in
the end been abandoned by his gov
ernment.”
North’s eyes moistened as Sulli
van wound up his opening
statement almost in a whisper.
The lawyer said that North was
the troubleshooter at the National
Security Council, and if “a secret
mission had to be accomplished, it
was ‘Let Ollie do it.’”
W’hen Congress decided not to
support the Nicaraguan freedom
fighters in 1984, Sullivan said, “the
president was angry ... and he
vowed he would find a way to sup
port them.”
Reagan ordered National Secu
rity Adviser Robert McFarlane “to
keep them together body and soul
and it was then the job of Ollie
North,” Sullivan said.
He recited a lengthy version of
the history of the Iran-Contra af
fair to the jury, some of whose
members appeared to be nodding
off. Sullivan noted that while the
Reagan administration was barred
by law from directly helping the
Contras, officials solicited funds for
the cause from other countries.
He quoted Reagan as saying pri
vately at the time, “If this leaks out,
we’ll all be hanging by our thumbs
outside the WTite House until we
find out who did it.”
John Tower
thing to do with who he’s sleeping
with or whether he has one glass of
wine before he goes to bed or two.”
Edwards said the question is
whether Tower, a former Republi
can senator who once chaired the
Armed Services Committee, can be
credible in dealing with defense con
tractors after accepting nearly $1
million from major weapons man
ufacturers as a consultant since he
left the Senate in 1985.
But Bush, responding to report
ers’ questions at the White House,
said he was “convinced that he is not
only capable of doing this job, but
will do it in an outstanding way.”
The president said he personally
reviewed the 140-page FBI report.
“What I got from it was that there
has been a very unfair treatment of
this man by rumor and innuendo,
over and over again rumors surfac
ing with no facts to back them up,”
Bush said.
Published reports have said the
FBI found that Tower drank exces
sively in the 1970s, but no longer
does so. Asked about that, and
whether the former senator had un
dergone treatment, Bush replied:
“I say there is no evidence of any
kind of the disease — alcoholism.
None. None whatsoever.”
Bush said the report “speaks to
the fact that a lot of the charges . . .
I’d say all of these charges that we’ve
read about — have been rumor, and
a lot of it vicious rumor.”
The president said the allegations
against Tower “that have been hang
ing over this simply have been
gunned down in terms of fact.”
“I’ve seen nothing in there that
would make me if I was a senator,
vote against Senator Tower," Busli
added.
Senate Majority Leader George
Mitchell of Maine told reporters lie
didn’t know when the commitiee
would act on the nomination and
said the delay in the confirmation
proceedings had been “attherequesi
of the White House.”
ulate about whether the Senate
would hold a closed-door session to
review the Tower file.
The Wall Street Journal reported
in Tuesday’s editions that as a sen
ator from Texas Tower profited
from a lucrative oil investment ar
ranged in 1981 by a Corpus Chrisii
lawyer whose son Tower recom
mended for nomination to the fed
eral bench.
Tower’s financial disclosure forms
indicate he put up no capital and fi
nanced his entire investment withi
five-year promissory note from a
now-defunct San Antonio bank, the
newspaper said.
The money was used to purchase
machinery which was leased to a
Corpus Christi drilling firm under
terms that allowed Tower to pay oil
the note while earning about
$25,000 from the rental payments
and resale of the equipment in 1986,
it said.
Bush condemns death decree
on novelist Rushdie by Iran
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Bush con
demned Iran’s death decree against British novelist Sal
man Rushdie as “deeply offensive to the norm of civi
lized behavior” and warned on Tuesday that Tehran
would be held accountable for any actions against
American interests.
Bush said he strongly supports the decision of Euro
pean governments to recall their ambassadors and chief
diplomats from Iran in protest of Ayatollah Ruhollah
Khomeini’s order for the assassination of Rushdie, the
author of “The Satanic Verses,” a novel that many Mos
lems consider blasphemous.
On another matter, Bush said he was not concerned
that Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze’s
diplomatic trip to the Middle East would diminish the
U.S. role in the region.
Asked what role Moscow should play in the Middle
East, Bush said effiphatifSIly, “I think it should be a lim
ited role and I think that’s what it’s going to be.”
Bush said he did not feel it was necessary for the U.S.
to send an ambassador on a diplomatic visit just to
counter to Shevardnadze’s trip.
The president made his comments at a hurriedly
called news conference at the White House on the eve
of his departure for a five-day Asian trip to attend the
funeral of Emperor Hirohito in Japan, followed by
stops in China and South Korea.
Bush used the opportunity to urge the Senate to
“move forthrightly” to approve the embattled nomi
nation of John Tower as secretary of defense after re
peated allegations of womanizing, excessive drinking
and questions about Tower’s relationship with defense
contractors.
Up until now. Bush has been silent on the worldwide
controversy over the ayatollah’s death threat against
Rushdie, an Indian-born British citizen w ho now is hid
ing under police protection.
Many Moslems say Rushdie’s book portrays the
prophet Mohammed’s wives as prostitutes and suggests
that he — rather than Cod — wrote the Koran, Islams
holy hook.
A number of booksellers, including some ol thena
lion’s largest chains, have taken “The Satanic Verses'
off the shelves.
Bush said that stores should have “protection oftiit
law if they decide to go ahead and sell a book ol thisna
ture.”
Bush called the press conference to announce thai
second-term Rep. Bill Grant of Florida was switching
his registration from Democratic to Republican.
Asked his views about another" Republican, forme!
Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, who was electedto;
seat in the Louisiana House of Representatives, Busk
said his own attempt to keep Duke from winningmaj
have been viewed by some voters as “improper or over
kill.”
However, Bush said Duke’s record is “one of racisii
and bigotry.” He added, “I’m sorry, I just felt I hadlo
speak out.”
On other topics, Bush:
• Said “I’d like to find some way to do something'
about easy access to automatic weapons.
But the president, a strong opponent of gun control,
added that “I want to be the president that protectsihe
rights of people to have arms.”
• Tried to allay some fears that the Japanese owi

Democrats, Bush clash
over budget; Congress
wants spending details
WASHINGTON (AP) — Presi
dent Bush and his budget director
on Tuesday prodded congressional
leaders to join them in budget nego
tiations, but Democrats responded
by chiding them for withholding
their views on where spending cuts
should be made.
Talk of more talks was put on
hold while, with Bush heading for
Japan, Congress began budget hear
ings amid efforts to extract more de
tailed information from the White
House.
“We’ve got an administration here
that wants to embrace the concept of
a line-item veto but won’t give us a
line-item budget,” said Sen. Jim Sas
ser, D-Tenn., chairman of the Sen
ate Budget Committee.
The president met at the White
House early Tuesday with Sasser,
Senate Majority Leader George
Mitchell, D-Maine; House Speaker
Jim Wright, D-Texas, and other top
Republicans and Democrats from
Capitol Hill.
It was the first such meeting since
Bush revealed his $1.16 trillion fiscal
1990 budget in a speech to Congress
on Feb. 9.
Lawmakers said they told the
president that before negotiations
could begin they needed more de
tail, especially on how he would pay
for the new programs he wants for
education, the environment, child
care and other areas.
And they said the prognosis was
poor for some of the specific recom
mendations he did include — such
as a reduction in the capital gains tax
rate.
Bush contends cutting the rate
about in half, to 15 percent, would
result in more taxes being paid be
cause economic activity would in
crease. Democrats not only doubt
the president’s supply-side math but
contend the tax is a giveaway to the
rich, since poor people have few cap
ital gains.
The meeting was polite but it
dealt more with schedules than sub
stance, participants said.
“The symbolism is very good. We
haven’t really gotten down to sub
stance,” Wright said, predicting that
once work begins, “some serious dif
ferences will emerge” on issues such
as a $5 billion Medicare cut, one of
the handful of spending cuts Bush
did detail.
“It was important for us to em
phasize we’re on the right track, and
we are,” said Rep. Leon Panetta, D-
Calif., the House Budget Committee
chairman. But, Panetta asked,
“When does he start to make the
tough choices? That’s part of the
process here, to find out what the
choices are.”
Bush’s budget director, Richard
Darman, appearing before the Sen
ate Budget Committee, defended
the White House budget including
Bush’s proposal for a “flexible
freeze” on $136 billion in existing
programs.
Those programs, mostly in do
mestic agencies, would be kept at last
year’s spending levels with selected
increases allowed only if offsetting
cuts were made. The White House
has refused to say where it would cut
and where it would support in
creases.
Going into further detail now had
little appeal for the administration,
he said, since the chances were “close
to zero” that Congress would agree
with the administration’s policy
choices.
“We look forward to learning of
other proposals and to discussing
them on the merits,” Darman said.
“We mean to be cooperative.” Dar
man said all of the budget, not just
the flexible freeze, was negotiable.
Sen. Bennett Johnston, D-La.,
told him “You get an ‘A’ for mood.”
Dallas station
offers Reagan
talk show iob
DALLAS (AP) — A local radio
station has offered former Presi
dent Reagan a job as a weekly
talk-show host, one of many such
offers to hit the Great Commu
nicator’s desk since he left office
last month.
Mark Rodgriguez, presidentol
KOJO-FM, made the proposal in
a letter dated Feb. 16, hut said he
has yet to receive a response.
Reagan’s spokesman, Mark
Weinberg, said Reagan has re
ceived many similar offers from
broadcasters across the country,
including two in his hometown of
Los Angeles. Weinberg wouldn't
say if Reagan was considering any
of the offers.
“All I can say is that each invi
tation will be responded to indi
vidually,” Weinberg said.
Rodriguez offered the former
president $200,000 to he hostofa
weekly 35-to 45-minute live talk
show for a year on the 100,000-
watt station which features a con
temporary Christian music for
mat.
Reagan is reportedly asking
$50,000 per speaking en
gagement.
But Rodriguez said the sta
tion’s offer, equal to a year’s sal
ary as president, probably
wouldn’t be the determining fac
tor were Reagan to accept the in
vitation.
“I’m assuming Reagan’s nol
short of cash,” Rodriguez said
Tuesday in a telephone interview
with the Associated Press.
“I’d think he’d do it for the
chance to be on the radio again”
he said.
During the last days of his ad
ministration Reagan said he
would miss his 5-minute radio ad
dress which aired each Saturday.
