- U.S. government sources say Polish President LECH WALESA
- may have been forced to dismiss a trusted aide because of
- accusations that he was a KGB spy. Jacek Merkel, who quietly
- resigned in March as Minister of State in charge of defense and
- security, had worked closely with Walesa as a shipyard engineer
- and Solidarity leader. Merkel privately maintains that political
- enemies fabricated evidence against him, and is fighting to
- clear his name. The Interior Ministry has refused to release its
- police collaborator lists, compiled in the communist era,
- because the files may contain disinformation about people who
- had no relationship with the KGB.
