Senator calls for Meese to resign over riot handling
A Democratic senator urged Attorney General Edwin Meese IV to resign over his management of the Atlanta federal prison crisis. President Reagan commended Meese and said all hostages are safe. Meese defended the agreement as fair and proper, noting inmates did not gain through the deal. Reagan thanked law enforcement agencies and Cuban American leaders for addressing the difficult problem.
