Ex-CIA man speaks A former CIA analyst who challenged the Reagan ad ministration’s contention that Nicaragua is funneling arms to Salvadoran guerillas will speak on ”U.S. Security Interests in l<atin America: The Rationale for War and Peace” in Geology 150, tonight at 7:30. David MacMichael, who worked as a contract in telligence analyst for the CIA from 1981 until 1983, says there is no substantive evidence of arm shipments between the two countries. The Reagan ad ministration maintains that Nicaragua’s military assistance to the rebels justifies covert operations against the San dinista government. ‘‘Weapons, supplies and funds are shipped from the Soviet bloc to Cuba, from Cuba to Nicaragua, from Nicaragua to the Salvadoran guerrillas,” Reagan said in a May address. Though MacMichael says the Nicaraguans did ship arms to the guerrillas from the fall of 1980 until early 1981, there has not been an interception of an arms shipment between the two countries since February, 1981. MacMichael says his contract with the CIA was not renewed because of his questioning of the administration’s interpreta tion of the situation. After leav ing the agency, he traveled to Nicaragua twice and decided to make his doubts public in June. “It’s hard to believe, if we know so much about these shipments, that we haven’t been able to capture one plane or boat,’’ MacMichael told the New York Times. “It’s even hard to believe that in the last two years one of the planes hasn’t crashed or one crate of guns hasn’t been dropped mistakenly into a tree.” MacMichael, who received a doctorate in history from the University, believes that misin formation about the situation in Central America could lead to U.S, military involvement there. The presentation is sponsored by the Council for Human Rights in Latin America, the Latin American Support Com mittee and ASUO. Admission is $1 for students and $2 for the general public. Computer lab on display Members of the University faculty and staff are invited to see a remodeled Computer Center and some new computer hardware during an open house Wednesday.
