Reagan to replace Watt
by next week, aides say
From AP and UPI
WASHINGTON - President Reagan
already has a list of prospects to
replace Interior Secretary James Watt
and plans to move swiftly to name a
successor, White House aides said
yesterday.
While no single name emerged as a
clear-cut favorite, Reagan aides said
the president hoped to announce his
choice in a week to 14 days.
Presidential counselor Edwin Meese
insisted that no list of names was drawn
up before Watt resigned.
For the time being, Watt will remain
as interior secretary, agreeing to stay
until a successor is confirmed by the
Senate. Meese said the administration
hoped to have its nominee cleared by
the time Congress adjourns next mon-
th.
The contorversial Watt stayed in
seclusion at the California ranch where
he announced his resignation Sunday
over a joke he made about "a black...a
woman, two Jews and a cripple" on a
coal leasing advisory panel.
Friends said he spent the day hor-
seback riding and relaxing and was
feeling "liberated" by his decision to
step down after two and a half stormy
years in office.
White House aides indicated they
were not surprised Watt decided to quit,
particularly in view of mounting
pressure from Republicans on Capitol
Hill, but they had expected him to wait
until returning to Washington.
Reagan is expected to meet with top
advisers today to begin assessing can-
didates for the $80,000-a-year Cabinet
post.
Meese refused to speculate about
possible successors, but other ad-
ministration and Capitol Hill sources
said names in the running included
former Sen. Clifford Hansen, who was
Reagan's first choice for the job back in
1980; Rep. Manuel Lujan (R-N.M.);
Energy Secretary Donald Hodel, who
served as Watt's top aide for two years;
former House Minority Leader John
Rhodes (R-Ariz.); former Sen. James
Buckley, (R-N.Y.), and J.J. Sinmons,
Watt's current top deputy.
Hansen, of Wyoming, turned Reagan
down before, mainly because he did not
want to be subjected to the stiff finan-
cial disclosures required of nominees.
But Hansen said after Watt's
resignation that those requirements
have been elaxed some what.
"I am sure the president has a lot of
good people to consider and I am com-
plimented if I am one of them," Hansen
said, adding that he had not yet been
contacted by anyone from the ad-
ministration.
Environmental and congressional
sources predicted Watt's replacement
will come from a western state. Interior
secretaries traditionally have come
from the West because the over-
whelming bulk of federal land ad-
ministered by the Interior Department
is west of the Mississippi River.
Doug Baldwin, Watt's chief
spokesman, said Watt had a letter
prepared but he "wasn't sure that the
president would accept the-.
resignation." Watt called Reagan to in-
form him of his' decision one hour
before announcing it Sunday.
Watt believes he put in place the
major policy changes at the Interior
Department, Baldwin said, and "his
role for next year would really have
just been managing." Baldwin said
Watt decided to step down rather than
lose a Senate no-confidence vote which
could have "hurt the president."

Philippine probe panel
From AP and UPI
MANILA, Philippines - President
Ferdinand Marcos suffered another
political setback yesterday when all
five panelists investigating the murder
of opposition leader Benigno Aquino
resigned because their impartiality had
been questioned.
"It appears that the image of the
commission for impartiality and
capacity of its members to do justice to
every man are being questioned," four
of the five resigning commissioners
said in a letter to Marcos.
OPPOSITION leaders and Aquino's
family have charged the panel was
biased and under Marcos' control.
The presidential palace said in a
HAPPI
news release that Marcos "remains
receptive to suggestions in order to
allow a full, impartial and unrestricted
inquiry...and to punish whoever might
be guilty."
Aquino was gunned down at the
Manila airport Aug. 21 as he returned
from voluntary exile in the United
States. The government says the
assassination was a communist plot
carried out by a gunman who was shot
and killed by guards. The opposition
claims it can produce witnesses who
saw government soldiers kill Aquino
and Rolando Galman, the man the
government says shot Aquino.
MINUTES AFTER the resignation of
committee members investigating the
.NINGSJ
assassination, a lawyer said, powder
burns were found on two of the military
guards who took the opposition leader
into custody.
Deputy General Counsel Amadeo
Seno said the hitherto secret evidence
was uncovered in National Bureau of
Investigation ballistics tests on the five
Filipino guards who took Aquino into
custody moments before he was shot at
Manila Airport on his return from three
resigns
years exile in the United States.
He said two of the five Philippine Air
Force guards were found "positive for
gunpowder burns" in NBI paraffin tests
conducted after the assassination.
The tests appeared* to contradict
previous government statements that
Aquino's escorts were unarmed and
that he was shot by Rolando Galman,
an alleged communist hitman. Galman
was shot and killed immediately after
the murder.

Robert Green, the SACUA member who
also serves on the financial affairs
committee, will bring the issue up for
consideration at today's meeting of that
group.
GREEN SAID the financial affairs
committee will handle the issue first
because it is that group that advises the
vice president and chief financial of-
ficer, who manages University in-
vestments.
He said that SACUA is hoping for a
report on the issue from the subcom-
mittee.
In other business at yesterday's
SACUA meeting, the group brought
back to life the non-classified military
research issue, which faded quickly af-
ter the regents rejected a faculty-
supported set of guidelines during the
summer.
SACUA asked the Research
Policies Committee-which designed
the original proposal-to evaluate what
its next step should be in lieu of the
regents' action.
