Reagan accepts responsibility for Beirut disaster
President Reagan said he bears blame for allowing 241 U S servicemen to die in the Oct 23 Beirut Marine Corps barracks bombing and that local commanders should not be punished for terror threats. He noted a Pentagon commission found failures in protection and urged not to pull out of Lebanon while stressing the need to confront terrorism. The remarks came as the Reagans prepared for a West Coast holiday trip to California.
