Kennedy letter triggers uproar in British parliament
London reports say Senator Edward M. Kennedy’s renewed critique of Britain's Northern Ireland policy provoked a tumult in the House of Commons. The Daily Mirror ridiculed Kennedy as a "pain in the neck" and the exchange centered on his Times of London letter calling the Ulster inquiry a whitewash. Prime Minister Heath rejected Kennedy's intervention, saying internal British matters are for Britain and Kennedy should better understand the issue.
