The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, October 11, 1983- Page 3 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. THE DAILY CLASSIFIEDS ARE A GREAT WAY TO GET FAST RESULTS CALL 764-0557 Proxy policy investigated (Continued from Page 1) 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.
