Fortas Panel Testimony Blocked by Executive Privilege
Two Johnson officials refused to testify at Senate hearings on Abe Fortas' nomination as chief justice, citing executive privilege. Letters from Undersecretary Joseph Barr and special counsel W. Devier Pierson were read into the record as GOP Senator Gordon Allott asserted Barr indicated Fortas and Pierson had cleared a legislative amendment for secret service protection. Allott said Barr's statements led him to conclude Fortas was involved in formulating the amendment and he cannot support the nomination.
