Moorer, a former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, called Thursday for new congressional hearings into TWA Flight 800. Moorer and other retired Navy brass, at a news conference, expressed suspicion over the FBI's 18-month investigation of the disaster. "All the evidence would point to a missile," Moorer said. The retired officers speculated a missile could have come from either a submarine or a buoy device developed by the Navy years ago. "One vital quest- ion we haven't attacked is the origin of that streak of light," Moorer said.
