secretly held by the Marcoses ac cording to court documents filed earlier The grand jury charges are the culmination of a criminal investigation launched nearly 2 Vi years ago by US Attorney Rudolph Giuliani The Justice Department decided to move against Marcos after his lawyers involved in plea bargaining negotiations with federal prosecutors missed a 5 pm EDT deadline Thursday to respond to a demand that he plead guilty to a racketeering charge said the sources Earlier Thursday President Reagan indicated he would step aside and not intervene to stop a Marcos indictment saying that in order to bring the matter to him “I would think that it would have to be a matter of foreign policy” Reagan said “It may not come to tny desk at all” Engaging in plea bargaining discussions prior to indictment was a concession by the Justice Department to the State Department which had urged such a course in an attempt to avoid indicting the former head of state Justice Department officials had
