After he surrendered, the Secret Service said agents found that the intruder, identified as Marshall H. Fields, 25, of suburban Silver Spring, had no explosives. Fields, the son of a deceased State Department official who had served in Arab countries, was then taken to a mental hospital for observation.

In a rambling statement mailed recently to several Washington area news organizations, a man identifying himself as Fields had indicated he would take some sort of action against the government on Christmas Day, declaring, "I am the Messiah to those who wish to believe." Chief Earl Drescher of the Executive. Protective Service, said, "I'm sure there will be studies and evaluation of this incident." Drescher said security absolute enough to rule out the possibility of a similar intrusion probably would be unattainable without turning the White House into "an armed camp." A Secret Service spokesman said the response of agents on Wednesday would have been different if Ford or members of his family had been at the White House. He didn't say what agents would have done but did say Fields could have been stopped before he reached the building. The intruder surrendered after hearing on his car radio a broadcast by the Howard University radio station of his demand to talk with Sahabzada Yaqub Kahn, Pakistan's ambassador to the United States. A spokesman for the Pakistani embassy later said the ambassador had never heard of Fields and refused to see him.

Police said they had no idea why Fields wanted to talk with the ambassador. The Secret Service said Fields was the son of Marshall L. Fields, a former official of the U.S. Agency for Development who died of cancer last May.
