MILESTONES, Page 70
SENTENCED. Robert McFarlane, 51, former National Security
Adviser, on charges of withholding information from Congress; in
Washington. McFarlane, who last year pleaded guilty to misleading
Congress with his assurances that Oliver North abided by its ban
on aiding the Nicaraguan rebels, is expected to testify for the
prosecution at North's trial. He was placed on probation for two
years and fined $20,000. The first former Government official to
be punished for involvement in the Iran-contra scandal, he could
have been sentenced to one year in prison and a $100,000 fine on
each of four counts.
