Reagan defends
Beirut security
NEW YORK — Pres. Reagan
denied Sunday that deficient
security allowed a suicide ter
rorist to explode his truck bomb
outside the U.S. Embassy annex
in Beirut last week, killing at
least nine people, including
two Americans.
“About 75 percent of all the
work that had to be done had
been completed,” Reagan told
reporters. “Anybody that’s ever
had their kitchen done over
knows it never gets done as
soon as you wish it would.”
The president, in New York
for a speech Monday to the
United Nations, was questioned
by reporters about the truck
bombing in Lebanon on Thurs
day as he posed for photographs
with Pres. Raul Alfonsin of
Argentina.
Acknowledging that security
measures were “not quite com
pleted,” Reagan nevertheless
said, “The same thing had hap
pened in the other place — so
meone determined to kill
himself exploding an
automobile.
The president said he was not
thinking of sending additional
Marines to strengthen security
because American servicemen
are not permitted to guard the
outside of the compound.
For the same reason, he said,
he had acted correctly in
withdrawing an 80-man Marine
security detachment from
Beirut. “There was no need in
side the compound for a detach
ment of 80 Marines,” he said.
Reagan said steel gates that
were to guard the embassy an
nex had not been installed, “but

U
we moved into that building
because it represented more
safety than the one we were in.”
"We had the blocks up," he
said, apparently referring to
concrete blocks that are suppos
ed to slow down vehicles.
Reagan said the street could
not have been blocked off in any
event because it was a residen
tial area to which people need
ed access.
However, he said, there was a
checkpoint, and the terrorist
driver was stopped and fired
upon "when they began to step
on it... and they got just short
of the building — the corner of
the building — and they
detonated it.”
Reagan said he was awaiting
a report from Richard W. Mur
phy, assistant secretary of state,
who was sent to Beirut to in
vestigate the situation.
A few hours before the presi
dent spoke, U.N. Ambassador
Jeane Kirkpatrick refused to rule
out U.S. retaliation against the
forces responsible for the
embassy.

street detective Mick Belker.
Rhea Perlman, the tough
talking barmaid on NBC's
“Cheers,” and Pat Harrington
Jr., the nosy superintendent
Schneider on CBS’ "One Day At
A Time,” were named best sup
porting performers in comedy
series.
Art Carney, who played the
housekeeper to Jimmy Cagney's
retired boxer in CBS' “Terrible
Joe Moran,” won the award as
best supporting actor in a
special.
Fourteen-year-old Roxana
Zal, the young incest victim in
ABC’s ‘‘Something About
Amelia,” won the award as best
supporting actress in a special.
NBC's “He Makes Me Feel
Like Dancin’ ” won the first
award of the night for best
children's program.
The outstanding individual
performance in a variety or
musical program went to Cloris
Leachman for “Screen Actors
Guild 50th Anniversary
Celebration” on CBS. Earlier,
she had lost the award as best
supporting actress in a special
for her portrayal of late comic

“Hill Street Blues,” the grit
ty, bittersweet police series, has
dominated the awards for the
past three years, and its 18
nominations were the record for
the 1983-84 season.
Another NBC show, the bar
room comedy “Cheers,” was
the runner-up in nominations
with 12, the same number as
‘‘The Day After,” ABC’s
nuclear doomsday drama.
Tied with 11 each were “St.
Elsewhere,” NBC’s still
struggling hospital series;
“Fame,” which still gleams in
syndication after being dropped
by NBC; and two critically ac
claimed ABC productions, “A
Streetcar Named Desire,” and
“Something About Amelia,” a
drama about incest.
Senator fleeces
embassy travel
WASHINGTON — The State
Department spent more than
$400,000 in two years on ocean
travel, mostly first class, for em
bassy employees who could
have flown for a fraction of the
cost, Sen, William Proxmire, D
Wis., said Sunday.
Proxmire gave the depart
ment his Golden Fleece Award,
which he bestows each month
for what he considers an
egregious waste of taxpayers’
money.
In reviewing the depart
ment’s records for 1982 and
1983, Proxmire said he found
the following:
Twenty-six employees of the
U.S. Embassy in Pakistan took
ocean cruises, most of them
aboard the Queen Elizabeth H,
at a cost of more than $160,000.
Economy class airline travel
from Pakistan to New York or
Washington, D.C. costs about
$900 per person. The
employees, however, flew to
London and then continued the
trip to New York aboard the
ocean liner. The total cost was
$2,400 to $3,000 per person.
One embassy employee in
Pakistan and his wife flew to
Thailand, boarded the Queen
Elizabeth II, made a 19-day
ocean voyage to Hawaii and
then flew to Washington, D.C.
by way of Los Angeles. Their
total bill for just the ship travel
was more than $15,000, Prox
mire said.
