General-designate Edwin Meese II! said
yesterday his investigation by an independed
eounscl "left no stone unturned"
and declared he has adhered to
ethical standards governing the conduct
of public officials.
Meese appeared before the Senate
Judiciary Committee one day after his
attorney confirmed that ethics investigators
had concluded the presiden
uai tounscior nau vioiaieu cinics ruics.
That conclusion was kept secret by thi
investigators' boss, a Reagan appointee
Without specifically addressing t.ia
in his prepared testimony, Meese noted
that independed counsel Jacob Stein
had concluded last fall there was no
basis to prosecute him on a variety of
allegations ? particularly any role he
played in helping those who aided him
financially in obtaining federal jobs.
STEIN TOOK no position on
whether Meese violated ethical
standards.
Yesterday, Meese told the committee,
