2-Wednesday, November 30, 1977-The Michigan Daily KCIA's White House spy plan exposed WASHINGTON (AP) - The South Korean intelligence agency planned to install a spy network in the White House and to pay off aides to top U.S. leaders last year in hopes of winning United States support for South Korea, a document released yester- day alleged. The plan apparently was dropped when previous activities by the IKorean Central Intelligence Agency in this country were exposed. Rep. Donald Fraser (D-Minn.), who released copies of the report during a subcommittee hearing yes- terday, said the 1976 plan and an earlier KCIA plan, apparently in 1973, "reveal a calculated attempt by the KCIA to use clandestine means to sway American public opinion and official policy ... "THE ACTION taken by the KCIA to implement the plans must be recognized for what it is-outright subversion," Fraser said. He said that about $750,000 was earmarked for the KCIA operations, not includ- ing money that was to be contributed to congressional campaigns. The alleged KCIA plan released by Fraser's House International Rela- tions subcommittee envisioned $100- a-month payoffs to 14 aides in the White House, State Department, Defense Department and intelligence agencies. It envisioned payments of $53,000 in campaign contributions to at least four congressmen and "special man- ipulation" payments to selected con- gressional aides. THE.PLAN also called for efforts to win over and manipulate reporters in major U.S. news organizations and to manipulate university people to HORSEBACK RIDING YEAR ROUND GROUP RATES Hayrides and Party Building Rental Douglass Meadows Ranch 2755 M 151--Temperance, MI 48102 (313) 856-3973 promote support for South Korea. The elaborate plan to influence U.S. foreign policy and public opinion allegedly was distributed to KCIA station chiefs in the United States in early 1976 - shortly before other similar South Korean efforts were publicly disclosed. A subcommittee member, Rep. William Goodling (R-Pa.), said he believes Korean efforts to carry out the plan were cut short by the publicity. THE SUBCOMMITTEE apparent- ly obtained the document from Sohn Ho Young, who defected as the KCIA station chief in New York City two months ago. Young testified before the subcommittee Tuesday. That sentiment was echoed by Sohn Ho Young, who defected as KCIA station chief in New York City two months ago. The subcommittee apparently obtained the alleged plan from him. Sohn said South Korea was already getting bad publicity about alleged influence buying by Korean business- man Tongsun Park when the plan was formulated. "MY COMMON sense tells me this was really not carried out," Sohn said. The alleged plan envisioned paying $100 a month to three aides for the "intelligence network in the White House," three aides in the State Department to strengthen ties with an unnamed official there and three aides to "concentratedly infiltrate" the Defense Department's military aid division. It also called for $100-a-month payments to five employes in U.S. intelligence agencies to strengthen ties with them. THREE UNNAMED aides in the House Speaker's office and other congressional leaders' offices were to be paid $500 a month as "paid collaborators." Some $15,000 was to be paid in "special manipulation expenses" to aides apparently in at least four dif- ferent congressional offices.

ANOTHER GOAL was to "manipu- late" two news organizations whose names were censored out of the copies of the plan released by the subcommittee. The KCIA planned to "hire and utilize two American reporters as paid collaborators" and to hire one reporter for a Korean residents newspaper for $12,000 a year to manipulate him. Benjamin Bradlee, executive ed- itor of the Washington Post, said through a spokesman that he knew of no attempts by South Korean offi- cials to recruit or manipulate Post reporters. JOHN HUGHES, editor and man- ager of the Christian Science Moni- tor, said: "To my knowledge, no correspondent of this newspaper has ever been manipulated by the Ko- rean CIA, or any agency of the South Korean government. "To the contrary, one of the most unpleasant confrontations this news- paper has ever had with a foreign government occurred when the South Korean government in 1974 barred one of our correspondents, Elizabeth Pond, from South Korea for her reporting, which the government considered unsympathetic. "Specifically, the South Korean ambassador to Washington warned us that Miss Pond's safety could not be guaranteed if she entered South Korea." IT PLANNED in some cases to try to convert reporters by flying them to South Korea for visits and also hoped to convert at least one unnamed Harvard University scholar listed as an opponent of South Korean Presi- dent Park Chung Hee's policies. A New York Times spokesman said, "It appears it is just a statement of intent of what they would like to do and we have no AL v evidence that any New York Times people were converted. The KCIA also allegedly planned in some cases to try to convert report- ers by flying them to South Korea for visits and also hoped to convert at least one unnamed Harvard Univer- sity scholar listed as an opponent of South Korean President Park Chung Hee's policies. THE FORMER KCIA station chief in New York City told the committee he believed the KCIA drafted the plan because it was afraid of losing U.S. support in the wake of Amer- ica's leaving South Vietnam. The opening paragraphs of the alleged KCIA plan state' its objec- tives are to block North Korean at- tempts to make contact with U.S. officials, to strengthen the U.S. security commitment to South Korea and to disrupt what it called North Korean infiltration of Korean resi- dent groups in America. The plan included an effort to neutralize an alleged contact be- tween one unnamed member of Congress and North Korea. Senate agrees to fund abortions for indigent rape, incest victims Just for the health of it. Get moving, America! March 1-7 1977 is National Physical Education and Sport Week Physical Education Public Information American Alliance for Health Physical Education and Recreation 1201 16th St N W Washington D C 20036 it WASHINGTON (AP)-In a move to break a four-month-old congressional deadlock, the Senate agreed yesterday to require rape and incest victims seeking federal abortion payments to report to law enforcement authorities. The provision was part of a new proposal the Senate approved, by a 44 to 21 vote, which would establish when the government will pay for poor women's abortions. IT MUST win approval in the House if the dispute blocking passage of a $60.2 billion appropriations bill is to be resolved. That provides funding and salaries for the departments of Labor Walk.- Jlust for the. health of it. Get moving, America!

Before agreeing on its latest com- promise proposal, the Senate ejected two amendments offered by Sen. Jesse Helms (R-N.C.). One, which was defeated 42 to 21, would have retained the same abortion restrictions written into law last year. The so-called Hyde amendment provided for abortion payments only when a woman's life would be en- dangered if a fetus was carried to term. THE OTHER, which went down 42 to 23, was similar to the version finally agreed to in the Senate. Helms proposed that payments be made only for the treatment of rape and incest vic- tims who promptly report the incidents to a law enforcement agency, health service agency or the equivalent. Helms said he proposed the latter amendment "so as to eliminate any possibility that two or three months af- ter the fact a supposed victim would claim she had been raped when she had not." But Sen. Edward Brooke (R-Mass.), who sponsored the Senate-passed com- promise, noted, "We've found in most cases of rape or incest there's no repor- ting at all. There's a stigma. It's humiliating." ABOUT 240,000 employes of HEW and the Labor Department depend on the appropriation legislation to provide their salaries. A stopgap measure that has been insuring their paychecks while the dispute continued was due to expire at midnight Wednesday. The next payday is Dec. 8. Congress has passed two temporary funding measures, which are known as continuing resolutions, to make sure the federal workers were paid while the emotional debate continued. Many Senate members have insisted they will not go along with a third one. The conditions were to be offered to the Senate and then to the House. Agreement on the issue would send the funding legislation to President Carter for his signature. THE LATEST proposal called for abortion payments through the Medicaid and social service programs where a woman's life would be en- dangered by a full-term pregnancy. Both the House and Senate already had agreedto that section. The compromise also provided coverage "for such medical procedures necessary for the victims of rape or'in- cest when such rape or incest has been reported to a law enforcement agency or public health service or its equivalent."
