Reagan lie test order faces congressional skepticism
Congress questions President Reagan's secret order mandating lie detector tests for up to 180000 federal workers and contractors. Spokesman Speakes said tests target access to sensitive information, with Cabinet level reach. Shultz opposes. A congressional source estimates 150000 federal employees and 33000 contractors affected, mainly at the Pentagon, with limited annual testing capacity. Rep. Edwards denounces the move as reckless secrecy.
