ONETIME NAVY AIDE DENIES HE FAVORED A FORMER EMPLOYER
Date: 22 December 1983

George A. Sawyer, former Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Shipbuilding and Logistics, said today that while he was in the Government he had removed himself from all contract decisions affecting his former employer, John J. McMullen Associates. Mr. Sawyer said in an interview that he had gone out of his way to avoid the perception of a conflict of interests by telling his deputy to handle matters ''where I had knowledge that McMullen Associates was directly involved or they would be directly affected.'' Mr. Sawyer said that he did not know whether his instructions to his deputy were in writing or given orally but that he also told Navy Secretary John F. Lehman Jr. that he would disqualify himself. The usual practice in the Government is for officials to delegate responsibility to their deputies on matters on which they wish to disqualify themselves. Often, this action is in writing and is widely circulated.
REPORT DISPUTES MARINE AN ATTACK
Date: 22 December 1983

The House subcommittee that investigated the bombing of the Marine compound in Beirut issued the full text of its report today. It disputed several key explanations that Gen. Paul X. Kelley, the Marine Corps Commandant, offered in Congressional testimony last month. A Marine spokesman said today that General Kelley had just received the report, issued by the House Armed Services Committee's Investigations subcommittee, and would have no further comment until he had reviewed it. On Tuesday the Marine Corps issued a statement saying ''all the information provided to Congress by the Marines has been the very best information available at the time it was provided.'' Speed of Truck at Issue The subcommittee's report said the Mercedes truck used in the attack Oct. 23, which killed 241 American servicemen, was moving at an average speed of only 30 miles an hour. General Kelley said in his testimony to the Armed Services Committee Nov. 1 and 2 that it was traveling at 50 or 60 miles an hour. That, he said at the time, was why sentries were unable to load their rifles and shoot the driver.

PRESIDENT'S NEWS CONFERENCE ON FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC ISSUES;
Date: 21 December 1983
Following is a transcript of President Reagan's news conference last night as recorded by The New York Times OPENING STATEMENT I have a few remarks here before taking your questions. With the holiday season upon us, I'm delighted to see Americans giving each other the best Christmas present possible - a strong economy that will insure more jobs and opportunities in the months ahead. Confidence is in the air and with good reason. Today's encouraging news on the strength of housing starts and personal income, recent reports on prices, retail sales, employment and factory use all confirm a welcome fact: 1983 has been a banner year for the American economy, with the United States economy enjoying a strong recovery and its lowest rate of inflation since the 1960's. Wholesale prices last month actually fell. Consumers are flocking into stores during the holiday season; our factories are operating at nearly 80 percent of capacity, up more than 10 percentage points from a year ago. Unemployment is still too high, but there are more people working in this country today than ever before, and every month we're creating over 300,000 new jobs.

Yasir Arafat was evacuated with 4,000 of his men from the Lebanese port of Tripoli. Mr. Arafat, who had been under siege for six weeks by Syrian-backed dissidents within his Palestine Liberation Organization, sailed aboard a Greek ferry escorted by French naval vessels. He left without a farewell message to sympathizers or a final public appearance, heading for exile, probably in Tunisia, as a guerrilla chief without a battlefront for his followers to contest. (Page A1, Column 6.) A Palestinian leader in Damascus said that he and other prominent Palestinians were trying to organize an emergency meeting of all factions of the Palestine Liberation Organization to prevent the 19-year-old group from disintegrating. The statement was made in an interview by Khaled Fahum, chairman of the P.L.O.'s parliament. (A1:5.)
AN INQUIRER INTO BOMBING: WILLIAM FLYNT NICHOLS

One of the men in Congress most familiar with the horrors of battle is Bill Nichols, the Alabama Democrat who heads the House Armed Services subcommittee that issued a report Monday on the bombing of the Marine compound in Beirut. It was in Germany, 39 years ago, that Mr. Nichols, then a husky 26-year- old United States Army officer, stepped on a land mine during the fighting in the H"urtgen Forest. He spent the next three years in a series of hospitals, recovering from the loss of his left leg, damage to his right leg and severe internal injuries. Far from becoming an invalid, he scampered up and down ladders of the helicopter carrier Iwo Jima and the nuclear aircraft carrier Eisenhower as a member of a House Armed Services Committee investigative team in Beirut in September, some weeks before the bombing Oct. 23 that killed 241 servicemen.
