Casey Never Heard of the Book
NEWSCASTER: Four Reagan administration officials have
responded in writing to a request from a Congressional committee
for information about a Jimmy Carter campaign briefing book that
turned up in the hands of the Reagan campaign back in 1980.
ABC's Ann Compton has details.
ANN COMPTON: The four letters from Reagan advisers who
were key figures in the 1980 campaign all make disclaimers about
the use of a briefing book that apparently was smuggled out of
the Carter camp.
White House Chief-of-Staff James Baker says he has no
reason to believe they were illegally spirited to the Reagan
people before the Carter-Reagan debate.
Budget Director David Stockman says the bundle of pages
were not marked "White House" or "Classified."
CIA Director William Casey declares flatly he never heard
of the book.
Two of the White House advisers write that the interest
now seems to them politically motivated.
