Reject Charge Of GOP In House Investigation
The House influence investigators voted unanimously that they did not violate House rules by holding public sessions to hear charges against Sherman Adams. Chairman Oren Harris said the subcommittee discussed the matter in closed session and affirmed the decision to hold public hearings. Rep. Thomas B. Curtis demanded a special three member panel to probe the Harris subcommittee. Curtis argued an open session during the Fox testimony breached rules requiring secrecy when testimony could defame or degrade. Much of the meeting focused on procedures for Wednesday testimony from Bernard Goldfine, Adams' millionaire friend.
