Reagan Keeping Up With Casey’s Status, White House Says
President Reagan is receiving regular medical reports on the condition of ailing CIA Director William J. Casey, White House spokesman Larry Speakes said Monday.
Speakes said that Col. John Hutton, physician to the President, “has kept up with the Casey situation through the doctors and briefed the President.”
Speakes said that the White House does not know how soon Casey might be able to return to work, but reiterated that a successor is not being sought.
The CIA director is recovering from surgery Dec. 18 for a malignant brain tumor. He was listed in stable condition Monday, a Georgetown University hospital spokeswoman said.
