Lefever Rejects Senate Vote on Human Rights Spokesman
Ernest W. Lefever blamed the press pacifists and Sen Charles Percy for his rejection by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee as chief U S spokesman on human rights. He said a gutter campaign and misrepresentation shaped the 13 to 4 vote and vowed he would have fared better before the full Senate if not for distortions and media bias. He defended his record and faulted coverage in The New York Times and The Washington Post while noting support from Reagan and officials like Dean Rusk and Henry Kissinger.
