Libya frees four Britons
LONDON (AP) —1 As a good-
will gesture to the Church of
England, Libya Tuesday freed
four Britons held prisoner in
Libya since May 1984 in the
aftermath of the Libyan Em-
bassy siege in London, a Libyan
government spokesman said in
the Libyan capital, Tripoli.
At a news conference televised
live in London, the spokesman
said the four Britons
“henceforth ... are free either to
stay in Libya or leave for any
other country.”
The prisoners, two of whpm
were never charged, were turn-
ed over to Terry Waite, special
envoy of Archbishop of Canter-
bury Robert Runcie, head of the
Church of England.
The release, originally
scheduled for Monday, had been
delayed for 24 hours, apparently
because of Libyan anger over a
memorial service held in London
for the British policewoman kill-
ed during the Libyan Embassy'
siege in April 1984.
The four Britons — engineers
Malcolm Anderson and Robin
Plummer and teachers Michael
Berdinner and Alan Russell —
appeared a^the news conference
after the decision was announc-
ed.
Congress gets annual message
Reagan touts the economic recovery
WASHINGTON (AP) - In a
“told-you-so” message on the
economy, President Reagan is
reminding Congress about the
two-year-old recovery and pro-
mises an even better per-
formance if lawmakers and the
Federal Reserve Board would
only help.
Rea'gan, in his annual
Economic Report of the Presi-
dent sent to Capitol Hill Tues-
day, takes full credit for “the
•strongest recovery in 30 years,”
mentioning the severe recession
that preceded it only long
enough to blame the Federal
Reserve for making things
worse than they needed to be.
Other references to the
Federal Reserve provide two of
the very few new policy sugges-
tions in Reagan’s brief message
and in the report’s 200 pages of
economic analysis by his
depleted Council of Economic
Advisers. ____________.
The president himself says the
administration expects ‘‘to
cooperate closely with the
Federal Reserve in defining and
carrying out a prudent and
predictable monetary policy” —
a provocative statement in light
of other officials’ suggestions
that the board’s independence be
curtailed. *
William Niskanen, sole re-
maining member of the council,
told reporters the idea of
pushing for White House
representation on the board — as
suggested by new presidential
Chief of Staff Donald Regan,
among others — has not been
considered at high levels of the
administration.
Pressed for elaboration,
Niskanen said only, “It suggests
that we may have something
else in mind.”
One thing, apparently, is a
recommendation in the council’s
section of the report that the
Federal Reserve calculate this
year’s expansion of the nation’s
money supply from a different
yearend 1984 base than it has us-
ed. The change would have the
effect of expanding the board’s
money growth targets this year
by $5 billion.
That adjustment, arcane to
most Americans, seems intend-
ed to forestall Federal Reserve
monetary restraint that some of-
ficials fear could cramp the
recovery.
Reagan mentions the revival
often in his report, crediting It to
his longstanding policies of keep-
ing taxes down and scaling back
the federal government
whenever possible.
What the economy needs now,
he said, is more of the same
medicine, the president said.
Noting that his new budget
assumes steady economic
growth through the end of the
decade, he said, “We know that
economic recoveries have not
been stable in either duration or
magnitude, in part, because
monetary and fiscal policies
have often been erratic.”
His own fiscal policy, despite
record deficits, is properly aim-
ed toward less spending and,
eventually, a balanced budget,
he said. He asks Congress to cut
spending, to give him authority
to veto items within bills and to
pass the balanced-budget con-
stitutional amendment.
Reagan said another goal of
his second term will be passage
of a “tax simplification” pro-
posal. V
He reiterated his earlier
statements that the proposal
would be “revenue-neutral” —
that is, designed to bring in the
same amount of tax revenue as
the current tax code. But his
wording also seemed to suggest
there might be an attempt to sell
the plan as a tax-reduction.
