Allen quits job;
Clark appointed
WASHINGTON (AP) - Na
tional Security Adviser Richard
Allen resigned Monday, and
Pres Ronald Reagan immedi
ately replaced him with Deputy
Secretary of State William Clark
Reagan said he accepted the
resignation "with deep regret"
during a meeting with Allen,
who left the White House with
out comment to reporters Only
hours earlier, Allen had said at
his home he had no intention of
resigning
The meeting followed
Reagan's receipt of an internal
White House report on Allen's
conduct The president, in a
brief announcement relayed by
his press office, said he had
asked Allen to serve as a
"consultant" in organizing a
new foreign intelligence advi
sory board
Allen replied in writing that he
would be pleased to undertake
that “interim task."
Clark arrived at the White
House just moments after Allen
departed and discussed his new
duties with reporters
The president said in his
statement, read by deputy press
secretary Larry Speakes, that
Allen had been cleared of any
wrongdoing by a study inves
tigating the $1,000 Allen
received from a Japanese
magazine, as well as three
watches accepted from Japan
ese friends
In an exchange of letters,
Reagan told Allen that he leaves
his job ‘'with my confidence,
trust and admiration for your
personal integrity and your ex
emplary service to the nation
"Over the past year, you have
served our nation with great
distinction as my assistant for
national security affairs,"
Reagan said "You have
provided me with invaluable ad
vice and counsel over the years
of our association and I am
grateful for your constant loyal
ty and dedication "
Allen said he would be
pleased "to undertake the in
terim task "
"It has been a rare privilege
and a high honor to serve in
your administration, and betore
that in the years of your cam
paign for the presidency," Allen
said "You have created
memories which will accom
pany me and my family forever
and your trust and confidence
are a source of deep pride and
satisfaction "
Clark a former California Su
preme Court justice, was
Reagan's first chief of staff
when Reagan was governor of
California and is one of the most
senior members of the pres
ident's inner circle
But when he became deputy
secretary of state, he had no
experience in foreign policy
and was confirmed by the Sen
ate only after a stormy
confrontation with the Foreign
Relations Committee
Clark told reporters the pres
ident has "not changed his
position" that Secretary of State
Alexander Haig Jr is his chief
formulator and spokesman on
foreign policy
But Speakes said that the new
national security adviser "will
have a direct reporting relation
ship to the president," some
thing Allen did not en|oy
Allen generally commumcat
ed with Reagan through Edwin
Meese III, the president's coun
selor
Clark in his new role, will be
responsible for the develop
ment, coordination and im
plementation of national securi
ty policy, as approved by the
president, Speakes said
Clark said he would retain his
post as deputy secretary of state
until a successor is named and
about to be confirmed
