Aid to the nicaraguan rebels. There is not the slightest doubt on our part thai the president violated the Law said Morton Hal Penn director of the aclus Washington office.

The Reagan administration s Viola Tion of these principles has again endangered the Rale of Law and has again undermined the Faith of the american people in their government the report the Acle study also said Reagan was wrong to give retroactive approval of the Cia s role in the initial 1985 arms ship ments to Iran by Israel.

The researchers will conduct More tests he said to determine whether inc dolphins immune systems have been weakened by a virus or pollutants.
