- Remember the October Surprise? Allegations that the Reagan
- campaign committee secretly negotiated with the Iranians back
- in 1980, trading future concessions for a delay in releasing
- U.S. hostages until after the election, are about to get a
- second wind at a most inconvenient time for President Bush. In
- some of the most vicious political infighting in years, House
- Democrats are moving, against all-out Republican opposition, to
- fund an investigation to be headed by Indiana's Lee Hamilton.
- President Bush reportedly attended a meeting of House
- Republicans last week in which opposition strategy was
- discussed. A floor battle and vote are expected this week.
- Meanwhile, Senate leader George Mitchell is planning his own
- inquiry.
