Last week lawyers for John Hinckley, 26, the man who wounded President Reagan and three others on March 30 outside the Washington Hilton Hotel, declared in a court brief that they will argue Hinckley's innocence by reason of insanity.

For example, Government documents record at least one exchange in which a representative of Kuwait, whose holdings include Baltimore's Hilton Hotel, told U.S. officials that his country might stop pumping oil if the level of Kuwait's investments were revealed...
