Congress officials seek access to Pentagon documents in Times case
Eckhardt and Mikva will seek court permission Friday to intervene in the Times Pentagon document case. They argue disclosure is essential for Congress to obtain information the government has refused to release to a Senate committee. Rosenthal downplays the impact, while the government contends discovery is needed for proper case presentation and warns of irreparable injury. The Times counters that extra documents are irrelevant beyond the 47 volume study and Tonkin Gulf summary.

McCracken Says Budget Path Could Risk Inflation
Economy adviser Michael McCracken warned congressional appropriations to date may push spending beyond Nixon’s full employment budget for 1972. He stressed delays in deficits are less critical near term, but keeping expenditures within full employment receipts remains a key rule. He questioned Fed tightening and argued a 5 percent money expansion, once proposed, is too low for rapid gains.

Shaw Jay College of Criminal Justice defended the FBI as an institution in a 16 page reply to a professor's critical remarks about the FBI and J Edgar Hoover. Hoover ordered Shaw transferred from New York and Shaw filed a suit alleging arbitrary retaliation for his criticism. Shaw, living in Baltimore, later joined the Insurance Crime Prevention Institute. He had been suspended by FBI New York chief John Mafone for refusing to surrender the letter and was suspended without pay for 30 days and placed on probation for drafting material critical of the agency.
