...Reagan's role. "Did he know this was going on?" asked Mondale. "I don't know which is worse-knowing this was going on or having a Government where no one is in charge." Congressman Edward Boland, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, fumed that the document was "repugnant to a nation that condemns such acts by others. It embraces the Communist revolutionary tactics that the United States is pledged to defeat throughout the world." His committee launched an investigation, and its Senate counterpart scheduled a closed briefing by CIA officials...
...Reagan Administration is belatedly moving to stanch this immense intelligence drain. The President has quietly signed a document known as National Security Decision Directive No. 145. It gives overall responsibility for ensuring the security of communications in the Government and the defense industry to the National Security Agency (NSA), the secrecy-shrouded behemoth whose primary function since its founding in 1952 has been the collection and analysis of other nations' communication traffic. Under Reagan's directive, the NSA will search for ways of protecting the integrity of sensitive telecommunications and federal computer information, which increasingly are two interrelated...

In the highest echelons, Deng has been supported by Premier Zhao Ziyang and General Secretary Hu Yaobang, but has evidently run into some stiff resistance over the pace...
During a simple ceremony in a small Renaissance palace set in the gardens behind St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, Agostino Cardinal Casaroli, the Vatican Secretary of State, presided as representatives of Argentina and Chile signed copies of a document marking the end of almost six years of mediation and decades of mutual hostility. The dispute involved the Beagle Channel, which lies at the southern tip of South America. The settlement clarifies each country's territorial and water rights in the waterway and recognizes Chilean sovereignty over three main channel islands, as well as seven smaller ones...
