Reagan orders
CIA inquiry
WASHINGTON — Pres.
Ronald Reagan on Thursday
ordered the CIA and his In
telligence Oversight Board to
investigate “the possibility of
improper conduct” in the spy
agency’s production of a
psychological warfare manual
m
for Nicaraguan rebels.
Acting four days after the ex
istence of the manual was
reported by The Associated
Press, the White House issued a
statement saying the ad
ministration “has not ad
vocated or condoned political
assassination.”
Until Thursday, administra
tion officials had refused any
comment on the manual.
Reagan’s order came as the
manual, which suggests “selec
tive violence” to “neutralize"
some officials of Nicaragua’s
leftist government, emerged as
a Democratic campaign issue,
and House Speaker Tip O’Neill
demanded the ouster of CIA
Director William J. Casey.
Denouncing the manual as
“nothing short of outrageous,”
O’Neill, D-Mass., said Casey
“owes the Congress and the
American people an immediate
explanation,” and added: “I
want him to get out of there.”
The speaker furthur sug
gested that any in-house in
vestigation by the CIA would be
a “whitewash,” and he said the
matter should be investigated
by the congressional General
Accounting Office instead.
Casey, Keagan’s close friend
and a leading figure in the ad
ministration’s Central America
policies, has been under fire
before over his personal finan
cial dealings and congressional
complaints that he withheld in
formation about the CIA’s min
ing of Nicaragua's harbors
earlier this year.
During a stopover in Seattle.
Democratic vice presidential
candidate Geraldine Ferraro
cited the manual as an example
of the administration’s “moral
blindness” on foreign policy.
