Tower says Reagan misled board
BOOKSTORES
DALLAS — President Reagan and his top aides tried to mislead the Tower Commission and cover up White House involvement in a key aspect of the Iran-Coast affair, former U.S. Sen. John 'Tower' said.
The Associated Press
Former senator's book reveals facts about Iran-Contra affair
in his soon-to-be-published memoirs, Tower said he was shocked when Reagan denied the White House gave advance approval for an August 1865 shipment of the bomb in a prediction of an earlier statement by the former president.
Portions of Tower's book "Consequences: A Personal and Political Memoir" were published in yesterday's Dallas Times Herald. The book is scheduled to be published in February, the newspaper said.
the longtime Republican lawmaker who that Reagan's about-face seemed part of a "deliberate effort" to cover up then-White House Chief of Staff Donald Regan's involvement in the affair.
Tower was appointed by the Reagan administration in 1986 to investigate the scandal.
The Tower Commission's report had noted Reagan's shifting stories about the missile sale. But the book marks the first time a principal figure has suggested the changes in the president's story were part of a deliberate
In a Jan. 26, 1987, meeting with the commission, Reagan said that sometime in August 1986, he approved a shipment of arms by Israel to Iran. In a meeting with the commission two weeks later, Reagan said that he and Regan had gone over the matter a number of times. He also said the United Nations assistant had not authorized the August shutout in advance.
The president said he didn't recall authorizing the August shipment, either. Then on Feb. 20, 1987, the president wrote the commission a letter, changing his story again.
Bush says 'recession' will be short
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Bush, blushing at least part of the nation's economic slowdown on Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, told a group of bank officials yesterday that any recession would be a short one.
"I am confident that it will run its course," Bush said. He defined "it" as "the slowdown or the recession or whatever one would call exactly what we're in now."
lead to even lower rates.
At the same time, Bush expressed disappointment that interest rates had not come down further in response to the enactment of a bipartisan, five-year $500 billion package of tax increases and spending cuts.
"Interest rates, frankly, are higher than any of us would like them to be," Bush said, adding that he didn't want to be seen "as a Fed basher or anything of that nature."
He said he was glad the Federal Reserve Board had helped to nudge rates down a bit following the passage of the plan, which he conceded was "not the world's most popular piece of legislation."
Speaking to the Association of Bank Holding Companies, Bush said that oil price increases in the aftermath of the four-month-old Iraq occupation of Kuwait were battering the economies of both large and small nations.
"And it's very clear that they are having a very bad effect on our economy," he said.

rush renewed his determination to prevaile in the Iraqi confrontation and said, "there's an economic side to this equation and economic effects are devastating those who can afford it the least."
As he has done in the past, Bush sidesteped the issue of whether the nation's economy has already slipped into a recession.
He said everyone listened to different economists, and he added, "some are saying recession and some say
"But one positive thing is that most if not all people are suggesting that whatever it is, it won't be long lasting. And I think that is very important to the overall good of the American people."
OK, one last time.
