Prosecutor seeks to use Iran-Contra testimony
Washington The independent counsel in the Iran Contra affair argues that statements by Lt. Col. Oliver North Rear Adm. John Poindexter and Albert Hakim made to Congress last summer may be admitted at trial as evidence despite immunity. Lawrence Walsh says non responsive remarks are not protected and could undermine the defendants if Judge Gesell accepts the reasoning.

Plan to overhaul War Powers Act aims for workable limits
Senate leaders introduce a reform plan to revise the 1973 War Powers Act. The proposal would allow deployed troops to stay without a fixed deadline unless Congress acts to remove them, and would create an 18 member leadership panel to meet with the president on national security. Sponsors include Senate leaders and Armed Services Chair Sam Nunn with John Warner and George Mitchell backing the measure. The House fate remains unclear.
