President Does Not Plan to Replace Convalescing Casey
President Reagan has no plans to replace CIA Director William J. Casey, a spokesman said Friday, as doctors expressed satisfaction with Casey’s recovery from surgery for removal of a brain tumor.
A statement issued by Georgetown University Hospital described the 73-year-old Casey’s condition as stable and said his “post-operative recovery is progressing satisfactorily” one day after his 5 1/2-hour operation.
Neither physicians nor CIA officials would comment further on Casey’s condition or prospects for a complete recovery.
