- Despite objections from some of his staff, Iran-Contra
- independent counsel LAWRENCE WALSH plans to end his six-year
- investigation into the scandal and thus leave a number of key
- questions unanswered. The special prosecutor favors closing out
- the inquiry before it becomes a partisan issue in the
- presidential campaign. But Craig Gillen, Walsh's deputy, wants
- to pursue allegations that former Secretary of State George
- Shultz was regularly briefed by a top aide on secret
- intelligence material about hostage negotiations. Walsh's
- decision also means it is unlikely that any legal action will
- be taken against Donald Gregg, U.S. ambassador to South Korea.
- Gregg was national security adviser to George Bush, then Vice
- President, during the arms-for-hostages swap and has long been
- identified as a top target of the probe.
