Feb. 10, 1986 U.S. expects Marcos victory Bv United Press Internatlonol ' The administration, breaking its silence, today expressed concern about rep o rt^ electorai fraud in the Philip­ pines, but called on both sides to "work together to form a viable government without violence.” “ We’ve seen the reports of violence and fraud,” White House spokesman Larry Speakes told reporters. “ We're concerned, but the outcome of the election is not clear and the facts are not in.” With President Ferdinand Marcos and challenger Corazon Aquino neck- and-neck in unofficial tabulations of an election now in the hands of the Marcos-dominated parliament, the White House declined comment on the possible outcome. However, the administration was known to expect a Marcos victory and in its first official comments in days indicated that Marcos must somehow accommodate the Aquino-led opposi­ tion with political, economic and military reforms. The parliament, where members of Marcos’ New Society Movement ruling party heavily outnumber the opposi­ tion, is charged with untangling results of the election and determining a winner. It adjourned four hours after opening without counting a ballot. A White House-appointed observer team issued a damning report on the voting and ballot-counting today before returning to Washington to turn over its findings to President Reagan. “ The word 'clq,an‘ Is absolutely foreign and obviously not appropriate An exhausted Filipino takes an impromptu nap today began the task of untangling the results to what we have observed,” said Sen. of Friday’s election, but it adjourned without Richard Lugar, R-Ind..
