To the Editor:
   Dick Cheney proceeds from a false conception that the agents, officers and contractors of the C.I.A. are answerable only to guidelines promulgated by the Executive branch, and not to laws duly enacted by our legislation. This is not and has never been the American system of government. It is a continuation of his 35-yr campaign to seize all powers for an imperial executive.   Asserting that no man is above the law is not a partisan assault. It is the duty of our Executive.
Barry Levine
