Reagan gets mixed summit reviews
United Press International
WASHINGTON — President Reagan drew praise yesterday from the Republican chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for the leeeland summit but was criticized by the top Democrat on the committee.
"This is a sad day for mankind," Sen. Claiborne Pell, D-R.I., said in a statement, "I deeply regret the failure to achieve an agreement when we were virtually on its brink."
But Sen, Richard Lugar, R-Ind, the committee chairman, said, "President Reagan's negotiating position in Iceland was imaginative, generous and
careful in preserving the defense of our country and the free world.
"The president proposed the destruction of nuclear weapons, leaving only defensive capabilities to safeguard U.S.-Soviet strategic positions and to safeguard against emergency nuclear threats.
the Soviets, however, attempted to trap the president and put the United States into perpetual jeopardy. Their proposal would have prohibited the United States from developing any defensive deterrent while the Soviets would be able to maintain their superior offensive capability.
deep reduction in strategic offensive weapons in exchange for an equivalent limitation on the Strategic Defense Initiative, known as "Star Wars."
But Pell said Reagan should have agreed to a
The administration accused the Soviets of trying to kill the defense shield project, and both sides left Reykjavik without any arms control agreement.
"Let us hope that second thoughts may persuade our president to later achieve the historic agreement we almost had." Pell said. "In essence, we have given up a bird in the hand — the reduction in strategic offensive weapons — for two in the bush."
Daniloff says CIA may have used him
United Press International
REYKJAVIK, Iceland — U.S. reporter Nicholas Daniloff said yesterday that he may have been used by the CIA in Moscow to make contact with a suspected KGB operative but that it was done without his knowledge.
Daniloff, in Reykjavik to cover the superpower summit, said he acted innocently in dealing with the CIA and never expected the spy agency to follow up on the contact.
The Washington Post, in an article in yesterday's editorial section by its former Moscow correspondent, Dusko Doker, said Danklof was used by the CIA in Moscow in an effort to
establish contact with a potential in intelligence source.
Doder wrote that Daniloff explained to him the details of the episode that incriminated the U.S. News & World Report correspondent in the eyes of the Soviet authorities.
Daniloff was arrested by the KGB on Aug. 30 and a week later was charged with espionage. He was released Sept. 29 in a swap involving suspected Soviet spy Gennadi Zakharov, held in the United States and Soviet human rights activist Yuri Orlov.
Doder wrote that early last year Daniello turned over to the U.S. Embassy a letter written to the CIA by a mysterious "Father Roman," a
priest who approached Daniiloff two months earlier saying he was a dissident.
The letter to the CIA was enclosed in another letter written to D兰洛ff.
Daniloff said he delivered the letter from Roman to the CIA and was questioned about the writer in the U.S. Embassy's "glass house," a special room cleared of possible eavesdropping devices.
But all Daniloff could provide the CIA station chief was Roman's telephone number, the Post said.
State Department analysts concluded that Roman was a KGB plant, the commentary said, and Daniloff was so advised.
Doder wrote, "What Daniloff did
not expect was that the CIA would be so sloppy, that his role in the affair would be mentioned in two communications a CIA operative subsequently had with the bogus priest, a letter and a phone call."
When Daniloff was arrested, he was confronted by his KGB interrogator with a letter from a CIA officer to the bogus priest introducing himself as "a friend of Nikolai," referring to Daniloff, Doder wrote.
In Reykjavik, Daniloff said yesterday that he thought the matter had been forgotten.
"I am only just now learning that intelligence officers at the embassy acted on that letter by trying to make contact with the bogus priest."
U.S. and Soviets trade accusations
United Press International
REYKJAVIK, Iceland — The White House, charging a flagrant and open violation by Moscow, tore up its agreement for a news blackout on the Reagan-Gorbachev summit yesterday but found its role transformed from accuser to accused.
As President Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev moved to narrow their differences over arms control in a fourth, previously unscheduled meeting, the agreement to hold information to a minimum dissolved in a burst of recriminations.
The White House was angered by a report that the two sides were moving toward agreement on deep reductions in strategic arms and the elimination of medium-range nuclear missiles.
Eugeniy Velkov, described as Gorbachev's senior scientific adviser, told the British Broadcasting Corp., "Today we have very good possibility of very deep reduction (in strategic weapons) ... and of course I think there are not any principal obstacles today from the point of view of elimination of medium-range nuclear
weapons from Europe.'
Larry Speakes, White House spokesman, said, "My answer to that is, first of all, this is a flagrant and open violation of our agreement between the two leaders that these should be personal and private talks. We now consider ourselves free to disclose what has occurred in the meetings in some detail, yet preserving confidentiality as the meetings continue this afternoon."
But word circulated through the White House press corps that Speakes himself had discussed the talks at private meetings with select reporters late Saturday.
In those reports, unidentified sources indicated the first day of discussions had been productive and signaled progress on arms control issues.
"My job is to talk to reporters, and that's what I do," said Speakes. "I'm not denying anything."
The news blackout, a technique used last November at the first Reagan-Gorbachev summit in Geneva, was intended to keep a tight lid on developments in the talks and give the two leaders wide flexibility in their discussions.
Tip O'Neill retiring after tumultuous decade
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The close of the 99th Congress marks the end of an often tumultuous decade of change in the House of Representatives, presided over by Speaker Thomas O'Neil, who is retiring after 50 years in public life.
O'Neill, 73, turns over to his prospective successor, Rep. Jim Wright of Texas, an institution that has gone through a great evolution since O'Neil took over the gavel from Speaker Carl Albert.
During the O'Neill years, the House shifted the center of power, overhaulied its procedures and opened to the seductive gaze of television.
At the same time, the speaker himself became a national figure, obliged to go toe-to toe with one of the most popular presidents in
"Iip was the first real modern speaker," said Rep. Vic Ficca, D-Calif.
With O'Neill's support, the concentration of power in the hands of a few committee chairmen ended and younger members gained influence as chairmen of new subcommittees.
"That was heresy in the past," said Rep. Mario Biaggi, D-N.Y. "But Tip encouraged (the change) and it wouldn't have happened if he didn't support it."
O'Neill served as speaker under only one Democratic president, Jimmy Carter, and the association never really flourished, although O'Neill was largely responsible for steering Carter's energy program through Congress.
But what followed the Carter presidency proved to be the real trial for O'Neill. Ronald Reagan's landslide victory not only removed Carter from office but gave the Republicans control of the Senate for the first time in
decades making O'Neill responsible for representing and articulating Democratic policy as it clashed with the Reagan revolution.
O'Neil acknowledged that he underestimated Reagan. At their first meeting the speaker informed Reagan, "You're in the big leagues now," but he later learned Reagan was more than able to hold his own in the Washington league.
O'Neill recalls "getting clobbered" during Reagan's first two years, losing major budget and tax battles, and some younger party members suggested he step aside.
"Those were sad days. I was ridiculed by the press. The cartoonists of America, they had a field day with me. And the weak in my own party thought it was fun to go home and criticize," he recalls. "But we weathered the storm."
House Republican leader Robert Michel, who was present at White House meetings where
O'Neil and Reagan often clashed, said. "Tip is not befuddled by the fact that he's in the presence of the president. Sometimes, some of us thought he would want to use a little more diplomatic language, but that's not 'Tip way.'"
O'Neil "has been a good partisan activist for his party's point of view," Michel said. "I can't fault him on that. That was the role he inherited without really wanting it to be all that significant, but it was thrust upon his shoulders and he carried it off pretty darn well."
O'Neil spent his 34 years in the House as a loyal party man who believed it was the government's responsibility to take care of its neediest citizens and a politician's duty to keep in close touch with those who elected him.
