EX-SECRETARY COMPLAINS OLIVER NORTH `USED ME'

Fawn Hall, a recovering crack addict, is bitter about former boss Oliver North.

``Ollie used me,'' North's former secretary says in the August issue of Redbook magazine. ``I was like a piece of Kleenex to him.''

Hall testified during North's Iran-Contra trial that she and North, then a National Security Council aide, shredded documents after the Reagan administration's illegal arms-for-hostages deal came to light.

Hall, who became addicted to crack and is married to another recovering addict, Danny Sugerman, says North, a former Virginia Republican senatorial candidate, has ignored her phone calls and ``is different now than when I knew him.''

Sugerman says he has a question for North: ``Just what did my wife do to you that you can't even return her phone calls? Your actions directly destroyed my wife's career and her life as she knew it, and you couldn't even pick up the phone and say, `I'm sorry' or `Thanks.'''

An assistant to North replied, ``Ollie asks people to pray for Fawn during this difficult time in her life.''
