MIAMI -- Lt. Col. Oliver North helped write a plan in 1982 to suspend the Constitution and place the country under martial law in the event of a national crisis, The Miami Herald reported.
The plan, outlined in a June 30, 1982, memo obtained by the Herald, was a revised version of contingency plans for dealing with nuclear war, insurrection or military mobilization, the newspaper reported in its Sunday editions.
It proposed a scenario calling for suspension of the Constitution, turning control of the United States over to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, appointment of military commanders to run state and local governments and declaration of martial law.
North, who was assigned to the National Security Council in late 1981, was FEMA's contact with the NSC and helped the agency draw up the plan, the Herald reported.
The proposal was written as part of an executive order or legislative package that President Reagan would sign and hold within the NSC until a crisis arose.

The memo outlining the martial law provisions of the contingency plan was written by John Brinkerhoff, deputy to then FEMA director Louis O. Guiffrida. The martial law provisions resembled a 1970 paper Guiffrida wrote in which he proposed such actions in the event of a national uprising by black militants.

Other figures in the network were Attorney General Edwin Meese, former national security adviser William Clark and the late CIA Director William Casey. The Herald said Meese referred private citizens to the NSC where they could be screened for soliciting support for the Contras, but beyond that his role is unknown. It was under Clark that North began to gain influence in the NSC.
