Choice for high CIA position under attack
Conservative Republicans press to block Ronald Reagan's pick Frank C. Carlucci as deputy to Weinberger at the Defense Department. They accuse him of weakening U S intelligence, aiding Carter's SALT II push, and lacking defense experience. Critics allege he oversaw CIA covert operations cuts and relied too much on electronic intelligence.
