Show ThuRsdAy, Paqe Two DAI Dukakis envoys resign, admit hand in slander BOSTON (UPI)-T- he two top lieutenants of Democratic presidential candidate Michael Dukakis resigned Wednesday after admitting involvement in circulating a videotape damaging rival Joseph Biden's White House bid and lying about it. Dukakis accepted the resignations of Campaign Manager John Sasso and Political Director Paul Tull hours after holding a news conference to disclose Sasso as the source of an "attack video" that charged Biden with plagiarizing British Labor Party Chief Neil Kinnock. "It was his decision to do it (resign) and I accepted it," the three-tergovernor said, failing to explain what caused him to change his initial stance that Sasso need only be "reprimanded" for his actions. "My campaign manager did something that is totally at variance with what I believe in," he said earlier. "It was a serious lack of judgment on my part," a visibly shaken Sasso told reporters. "I have apologized to the governor, I apologize to the public and apologize to Senator Biden, his family and supporters." Dukakis said he apologized personally to Biden, who issued a statement saying he wanted to put the incident that m CHOICE . . . NES contributed to the demise of his campaign behind him. "What's done is done," Biden said in the statement. "As I said last week, it's time for me to move on." He said he would continue to concentrate his energies on chairing the Senate Judiciary Committee, which is considering the nomination of Judge Robert Bork to the Supreme Court. , Sasso said he did not tell Dukakis he made the tapes splicing a Biden speech with a remarkably similar campaign ad by Kinnock "because it would hurt him." Sasso, 40, said when he saw reports of Dukakis' news conference Monday denying any knowledge of the tapes, "I knew at that time I was going to have to tell him. In the end, I couldn't lie to Mike Dukakis." The report also "villifies" former CIA Director William Casey, Poindexter. and NSC Aide Oliver North for their roles in the diversion and in secretly aiding the Contra rebels, Hatch said. Panel members, who are divided on largely partisan grounds, discussed the contents of the draft report in closed sessions Monday and Tuesday.

WASHINGTON (UPI) The draft report of the committees sharply criticizes congressional President Reagan for selling arms to Iran and poorly supervising his National Security Council aides, three members of Congress disclosed Wednesday. a critic of the secret draft Sen. Orrin Hatch, prepared by the panels' Democaratic majorities, said it also suggests Reagan "had to know or should have known," that Iran arms sales profits were diverted to the Nicaraguan Iran-Cont- ra R-Ut- ah, rebels. another dissenter, Hatch and Rep. Henry Hyde, said in telephone interviews the report questions credibility of testimony by former NSC Adviser John Poindexter about the funds diversion. Poindexter testified he sought to protect Reagan in choosing not to inform him about the possibly illegal funds R-Il- l., diversion. "By inference," Hyde said, "the report suggests the president may not be telling the truth in denying awareness of the diversion." Hatch criticized what he described as the report's "innuendo" about Reagan's role in the diversion and added, "There's a real attempt by the report to make the president look worse than the testimony did."
