Diplomatic Privacy Backed by State Department Official
Deputy Undersecretary William Macomber Jr. defended diplomatic privacy in congressional briefings. He warned that leaking talks could derail SALT negotiations with the Soviet Union. He cited Pentagon papers and a 47 volume Vietnam study as examples where some material might have been declassified earlier, while 10 to 15 percent could harm U.S. interests.

He suggests the papers were stolen property and questions who owns and should publish government records. He notes the Times and public readers face accountability as the debate over ownership and duty continues.
