THE DECISION to scrap the
rebate was made Wednesday
night and obviously caught some
advisers by surprise. Both
Treasury Secretary M i c h a e 1
Blumenthal and Marshall had
made speeches in recent days
arguing for the rebate.
Initial reaction in Congress
appeared largely favorable to
the decision.
However, Chairman Al Ullman
of the House Ways and Means
Committee said he was upset
he wasn't notified in advance
of the decision and didn't find
out until yesterday. "It was a
little less than fair to those of
us who supported it against our
better judgment and worked
hard to get it passed," he said.

NEW YORK () - the pro-
testors carried no signs and
chanted no slogans as they dem-
onstrated on the steps of they
federal courthouse. Instead of
long hair and surplus Army fa-
tigues, they had their hair clip-
ped short and wore gray flannel
suits.
In fact, the 300 FBI men who
lined up in silent rows yester-
day looked more like a graduat-
ingg class posing for a yearbook
photograph than a group of
demonstrators making a point.
Theirs was as peaceful a dem-
onstration as the city has seen
in years-.
AGENTS and former agents
came from as far away as Buf-
falo and Baltimore to mass on
the steps of the U.S. Courthouse
to show their support for one of
their own: former supervising
agent John Kearney, who was
being arraigned on charges of

illegagl mail interception and
wiretapping.
He is accused of using impro-
per mail interceptions and wire-
taps in an investigation of the
radical group known as the Wea-
ther Underground.
Kearney, 55, pleaded innocent
to the charges before U.S. Dis-
trict Judge Morris Lasker and
was released without bail.
IF CONVICTED of the charg-
eses, Kearney could face up to
five years in prison and a $10,-
000 fine.
When Kearney arrived at the
courthouse and approached the
steps, the agents-many gray-
or white-haired---broke into loud
hand-clapping.
Then, as he paused at the foot
of the steps, Special Agent Pat-
rick Connor read him a state-
ment on behalf of the assembled
agents: "Your friends and for-
mer associates have assembled
here this morning to demon-
strate their personal loyalty to
you and to give testament to
your just and moral leadership
over a period of many years in
the fight against the enemies of
our nation, namely anarchy and
terrorism," read Connor.
"WE ALL REALIZE," he
said, "that our assembly here
today is without precedent.
However, we all felt compelled
to express to you our individual
support.
"This assembly, though im-
pressive, is a mere token of the
support you enjoy throughout
the nation . . . we are confident
that when the whole truth is be-
fore the American people and
their voice is heard, your vindi-
dation will be assured."
Kearney waved to the crowd
and slipped through a revolving
door. Only a handful of agents
followed him into the courtroom.
HE LEFT after standing si-
lent while his attorney, Hubert
Santos, entered the plea of in-
nocent and sitting in a front row
seat while Santos filed a motion
to extend the period for filing
p retrial motions.
By the time he left, the crowd
of agents had disappeared, and
their places had been taken by
pickets demonstrating for a
Harlem hospital. Kearney, who
now lives at Simsbury, Conn., is
an assistant vice president of
Wells Fargo Armored Service
Corp., based in Springfield,
Mass.
In Washington, Atty. Gen.
Griffin Bell told reporters he
had been informed of the
agents' plans to demonstrate.
"I was told they were going
to picket and I said they had a
right under the First Amend-
ment to picket," he said. "These
are people on the bottom out
there exercising their First
Amendment rights as citizens."
