During a debate in parliament Kohl defended Interior minister Friedrich Zimmermann s actions concerning the aug. 19 defection of spy fighter Hans Joachim Tiedge to East Germany. Zimm Mann had not blundered either in the months preceding the defection or after the counterspy defected Kohl said. No one can seriously demand that every spy Case must Lead to the resignation of the affected minister he said. That would mean the secret services of other lands could decide the time in office of ministers of the Federal West German Republic Kohl said. Germany has experienced numerous spy affairs since the country was founded. In 1974, former Chancellor Willy Brandt resigned when his aide Gunter Guillaume was unmasked As an East German spy. Zimmermann is a member of the Christian social Union the bavarian  of Kohl s Christian democrats. As Interior minister he oversees the Cologne based office for Protection of the Constitution the counterinu.1 licence Agency where Tiedge worked. The social democrats and Green party have demanded Zim Mermann s resignation saying he must take responsibility for what they say is Germany s worst espionage affair Ever. The social democrats requested tuesday s special session of parliament to debate the espionage affair in which five suspected spies have either been arrested disappeared or defected in the last month. Germany s spy chief Heribert Halle Broich was fired last week for allegedly protecting Tiedge despite massive financial family and health problems lha t officials say made him an obvious Security risk Tiedge who was in charge of tracking East German spies was overweight diabetic drank heavily and reportedly had up to is 10,000 in debts. His wife died in a mysterious Accident in 1982. Helle Broich has acknowledged that he did not till Zimmermann about Tiedge s problems. He said he did not  Tiedge because he feared that would make him an even greater Security risk. Social Democrat faction Leader Hans Jochen Vogel said Zimmer Mann should be ousted because he did not take the initiative to find out about Tiedge until it was too late. Was it really unknown to you that or. Tiedge had his Driver s License taken away because of drunkenness Vogel asked Zimmer Mann during tuesday s debate. Zimmermann responded that by not known of Tiedge s difficulties until aug. 21, two Days after the 48-year-old counterspy left the country in circumstances that Are still unclear. This is a damaging Case but the Security of the country As a whole is not endangered Zimmermann told parliament. He said officials still do not know whether Tiedge worked As a double agent the 19 years he was employed in German intelligence agencies or if he made a snap decision to defect. Vogel charged that because of the Tiedge Case and other up roars during Kohl s administration worldwide they Call this a Cabinet of scandals and  Kohl s government has been plagued by far reaching influence peddling scandal that led his economics minister Otto Lamsdorff to step Down in june 1984 after he was indicted on bribery charges. Earlier that year another scandal broke when a four Star general was fired on unfounded charge of homosexuality. Kohl was forced to reinstate him after a Public uproar. The Green party said tuesday the government should close the office where Tiedge used to work. The government has not responded to a letter from hedge government spokesman Friedhelm Ost said tuesday. The letter which East German authorities handed to a German official last week was in Tiedge s handwriting. It said he defected to escape a hopeless situation.

Rogers from Page 1 want to play before i have to make that decision in conditions of anger he said.

What we need to do is ensure the other Side knows we have the ability to retaliate and then negotiate them chemical weapons off the face of the Earth. Even if the congressional language holds some time will pass before the results come to fruition but we have sent the Mes Sage that we have identified the deficiency and Are doing something about it. If i were a Warsaw pact commander he said what i d do is fire a round in front of each nato division. What would Hap pen is some would panic some would die and each prudent commander would keep his people in protective suits whereby their efficiency would be reduced by 50 percent.
