BILL JORGENSEN: William Casey heads the CIA, our
Central Intelligence Agency, that four-star Navy Admiral Bobby
Inman has been number two man. Now he's leaving, claiming he
wants some fresh challenge after having put the agency back on
its feet following the Watergate oriented scandal.
But there's more to the story of Inman's resignation,
and Barry Schweid has that story.
BARRY SCHWEID: In a dear Bob letter, President Reagan
accepted Inman's resignation with deep regret. He thanked the
four-star admiral for more than 30 years of government service.
The resignation was sudden. Congressional sources said
Inman had a number of lucrative offers from business and decided
to accept one of them. A White House official said there weren't
any fights, that Inman had simply decided to leave. But sources
in the intelligence community raised question marks. They say
they didn't know if Inman was leaving voluntarily or had been
kicked out.
Relatively non-controversial, Inman stirred controversy
in the academic community recently by insisting that research
findings bearing on national security be cleared by the govern-
ment before publication.
The CIA itself has been involved in controversy since
the Nixon Administration, when Congress found the CIA engaged in
a number of illegal activities.
For Independent Network News, this is Barry Schweid, at
the White House.
