Fitzwater clarifies Reagan's answers President did not contradict Shultz
at news conference, spokesman says
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The White House attempted yesterday to clarify some of President Reagan's news conference answers, playing down his claim that outsiders were stirring up trouble in Israel-occupied territories and arguing that an apparent contradiction with Secretary of State George Shultz on Iran arms sales was a matter of interpretation.
The regular White House news briefing conducted by spokesman Marlin Fitzwater was dominated by reporters' efforts to get clarifications of Reagan's remarks at a nationally broadcast news conference Wednesday night.
Fitzwater avoided saying that Reagan had misspoken on any subject, but he added detail, emphasis, elaboration and shading to several of the president's replies.
Reagan had been asked about violence in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip and the beatings and shootings of Palestinians by
evidence to believe that these riots are not just spontaneous and homegrown . . . We have had intimations that there have been certain people suspected of being terrorists, outsiders coming in, not only with weapons, but stirring up and encouraging the trouble in those areas."
He replied that "there is every
However, Shultz, on his way to the Middle East, gave a different slant on the cause of the problem, blaming the violent unrest on longtime Israeli occupation of the territories.
"Its fundamental origins are essentially indigenous," he told reporters aboard his plane.
Shrultz said that intelligence material showed "a mixed picture" with "interaction with outside force." But he added, "There is an underlying problem consisting of a large number of people in occupation who haven't had the basic rights of governance."
Fitzwater said that the comments of Reagan and Shultz "are totally consistent as far as we're concerned."
Republican presidential candidate Pat Robertson said yesterday that he couldn't understand all the fuss over his "threwaway line" about U.S. hostages in Lebanon.
Robertson can't understand fuss over hostage remarks
Robertson, in Birmingham, Ala., said he found it hard to understand why there has been such an incredible flap over his remark Wednesday that he had known where U.S. hostages were being held in Lebanon.
He said that the information had been passed along to the State Department at the time.
But President Reagan said at his news conference Wednesday night, "Isn't it strange that no one in our administration was ever apprised of that?"

A Robertson aide said Robertson was referring to the passengers on a TWA plane hijacked to Lebanon in 1985. They were later freed.
Robertson had said of the hostages "They could have been saved."
At a news conference in Birmingham yesterday, Robertson said that his Wednesday statements were used as a throwaway line to illustrate that the country needed to improve its methods for dealing with terrorists.
On the Democratic side, Dukakis made the comment about Gephardt just before the two squared off in a contest, a forum on long-term health care.
A day earlier in Waco, Texas, Gephardt referred to Dukakis as the candidate with the most money, and the least message.
