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. Students should
not attend the event.
A $16,000 IBM laser printer
and a $50,000 microcomputer
laboratory along with an elec
tronic mail system will be
demonstrated during tours,
which run from 2 to 5 p.m., ac
cording to Celeste Delay, center
office manager.
Remodeling during the sum
mer should increase the center’s
efficency, Delay says, and the
open house will be useful to
staff members who want to
understand how the Computer
Center operates.
Tours begin at the second
floor reception area in the
center.
