board that would be primarily advisory in nature But it would have been empowered to appeal Energy Department decisions to the president if it felt they posed “an imminent or severe threat to public health and safety” Energy Department officials strongly opposed Glenn’s legislation contending the panel’s power would unacceptably interfere with their vital national security mission to ensure weapons production continues smoothly The Senate refused an create to review board to independent Friday monitor health and safety at the Energy Department's aging nuclear bomb plants despite charges of perilously lax management senators rejected a proposal By a vote of that would have set by Sen John Glenn up a panel of experts to monitor the Energy Department's operation of the facilities which

fall that said the department had failed to establish formal safety policies and inadequately supervised private contractors running its facilities including three reactors at the Savannah River

announcement A North told a news conference in his lawyer’s office that his defense may require subpoenaes of Reagan administration officials “That strikes me as a course of action incompatible with my continued service as a Marine officer" he said “With great sadness I have tendered my request to retire from the Marine Corps” North served notice on President Reagan and other top officials that he will no longer hold his peace “For over 16 months I have silently endured a torrent of media speculation as the largest investigation in the history of our country lias probed every aspect of my personal and professional fife and that of my family” North said “I have not responded except as required by law in the course of the congressional hearings last summer Further silence is a disservice to me my family and the brave people I have served and worked with on matters of great importance to our country Moreover while on active duty I am not fully free to speak out or take other actions which may be necessary” he said in an emotional statement Marine Corps spokesman Lt Col John Shotwell later confirmed the North retirement The Marines initially declined to confirm the retirement at

leave to cover the period between now and his May 1 retirement date “He won’t be coming to work anymore” one source said The White House had no immediate comment on North’s retirement The office of special prosecutor Lawrence Walsh also refused comment In an interview Friday with television journalist John McLaughlin White House chief of staff Howard Baker was asked about a possible pardon for North and said: “The president’s simply not going to address that question The president nas the constitutional pardoning authority but he’s said over and over this is not the time and it’s not the circumstance in which to consider that” “The president undoubtedly will cooperate with both the prosecution and the defonse” Baker said “Now how that translates into actual conduct remains to be seen We have to face that issue when it arrives” North was indicted Wednesday along with former national security adviser John Poindexter retired Air Force Maj Gen Richard Secord and Albert Hakim both middlemen in the secret deals to sell arms to Iran and divert the profits to the Nicaraguan Contra rebels They were charged with conspiring to bilk the government of millions of dollars generated by
