WHITE HOUSE AND ITS NEWS
Date: 03 October 1986
By Bernard Weinraub, Special To the New York Times

In considering ''disinformation'' as a means to undermine the Libyan leader, the Reagan Administration has not only risked damage to its credibility but also cast doubt over its news policy. On the one hand, the Administration has encouraged selective leaks of intelligence information, some of it of questionable accuracy. But it has coupled this with a concerted effort to punish journalists and newspapers that seek to publish accurate information, if the Administration finds the disclosure sensitive or potentially embarrassing. This two-pronged approach to the news was underscored today as the Administration virtually conceded that it was practicing ''disinformation'' in seeking to topple the Libyan leader, Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi.

NEWS EXECUTIVES EXPRESS OUTRAGE
Date: 03 October 1986

News executives yesterday deplored the Reagan Administration's reported use of a disinformation campaign against the Libyan leader, Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi. They suggested that, if true, it raised serious credibility problems for the White House. While reserving judgment on the charge that the Administration generated false information and used the press in the hope of toppling Colonel Qaddafi, the executives called the reports disquieting and called for full disclosure of the facts by the White House and greater diligence by the press to guard against such episodes. A number of the executives drew a distinction between the ordinary and widely accepted efforts of a Government to promote its policies, on the one hand, and the execution of a deliberate campaign to spread lies in order to achieve a specific foreign policy objective on the other.

International Tight U.S. sanctions against Pretoria will be imposed. The Senate voted, 78 to 21, to override President Reagan's veto of legislation to impose the economic penalties against South Africa.

Muammar el-Qaddafi. The White House denied it had tried to give false information about Libya, but said it had a policy designed to harass and ultimately remove Colonel Qaddafi. [ A1:1-2. ]

INITIAL REPORT ON LIBYAN PLOTS STIRRED SKEPTICISM
Date: 03 October 1986
By Alex S. Jones

A front-page article in The Wall Street Journal on Aug. 25 saying Libya was plotting new terrorist attacks prompted almost immediate skepticism and conflicting information from other major news organizations as they sought to confirm The Journal's report. Citing unidentified ''U.S. and West European intelligence officials,'' The Journal's article said the United States was on a ''collision course'' with Libya. It also said that ''growing evidence suggests'' new Libyan terrorist attacks were being planned, and that ''the Pentagon is completing plans for a new and larger bombing of Libya in case the President orders it.'' All three network television evening news programs repeated the substance of The Journal's report the night after it appeared, citing unidentified Administration officials. But the NBC News program added the first hint of skepticism when it said that ''Administration officials seem to be hoping that by talking tough through the news media, they would scare'' Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi, the Libyan leader.

The journey that brought Nicholas S. Daniloff from a Moscow prison to a meeting in the White House with President Reagan today has changed his life in ways that he says he is only beginning to fathom. Almost overnight the retiring, almost shy, correspondent for U.S. News & World Report has turned from newsman to news maker, becoming the focus of world attention. For a month, he was the center of a diplomatic confrontation between Washington and Moscow. As he and his family begin to build a new life in the United States, Mr. Daniloff is struggling to cope with that transformation.

NEW F.B.I. TEAM TRACING SOME UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURES TO PRESS
Date: 02 October 1986

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has formed a special team of agents to investigate disclosures of sensitive Government information to news organizations, and officials said the squad was at work on about a dozen cases. The bureau said the four-man team was created earlier this year because of concern that such investigations needed to be better organized and assigned to highly experienced agents. Bureau officials said the inquiries were being conducted under espionage statutes that prohibit unauthorized disclosures of classified information. Many Types of Disclosure They said that while the specialized squad was new, bureau agents had long been involved in investigations of unauthorized disclosures to the news media. The bureau declined to say, however, whether the number of cases under investigation was higher than usual.

ADMINISTRATION IS ACCUSED OF DECEIVING PRESS ON LIBYA
Date: 03 October 1986
By Leslie H. Gelb, Special To the New York Times
Leslie Gelb
The Reagan Administration faced a growing controversy today over reports that it had made selective disclosures of news and ''disinformation'' about Libya and its leader, Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi. The issue arose after a report by Bob Woodward in The Washington Post today that the Administration had devised a policy that included leaking false information intended to convince Colonel Qaddafi that Libya was about to be attacked by the United States or that he was about to be overthrown. The Post traced the ''disinformation'' plan to a memo written by Adm. John M. Poindexter, President Reagan's national security adviser. But today, Administration officials said the program did not originate with that memo, but grew out of a mid-August State Department document to the White House laying out a ''deception'' campaign. That document represented a consensus at interdepartmental meetings, the officials said.

JOURNALISTS DIFFER ON THE LONG-TERM EFFECTS OF THE DANILOFF CASE
Date: 02 October 1986

Although journalists welcomed the release of Nicholas S. Daniloff from Soviet custody, they have expressed widely differing views on the long-term effect of the incident and how it was handled. The journalists generally agreed that Mr. Daniloff's professional stature as a reporter will not be damaged among his American colleagues, but there was disagreement on such issues as the terms of his release, the safety of other foreign correspondents and the overall significance of the incident. In a spot check, most journalists said they had accepted the near inevitability that it would be necessary to link the release of a Soviet spy in United States custody with the release of Mr. Daniloff, a Moscow correspondent for U.S. News & World Report. ''I think it was probably the best we could do in an impossible situation,'' said Katherine W. Fanning, editor of The Christian Science Monitor.

A solid majority of the American public approves of the release of Gennadi F. Zakharov, the convicted Soviet spy, the latest New York Times/CBS News Poll shows. In addition, an overwhelming majority said there was a connection between his release and the release of Nicholas S. Daniloff, the American journalist who was arrested in Moscow. Seventy-seven percent of the 612 people interviewed by telephone on Tuesday and Wednesday said they believed there was a connection between the release of the two men, something President Reagan has denied. Nine percent said there was not, and 14 percent said they did not know.
