Secrecy clash over Laos briefing ends in informal session
The hearing on Laos opened with a 30 minute fight over secrecy rules. The State Department pressed for a single locked transcript and destruction of tapes, while Fulbright Symington protested to defend the panel’s questioning rights. The result was no transcript and an informal briefing. Godley disclosed U S spending in Laos, estimated at 25 to 35 million dollars, supporting the Royal Lao government and even King Savang Vatthana. He praised the CIA backed Meo guerrillas led by Vang Pao, and noted the U S dominates the air war with ground troops not requested by the Royal Lao government. He admitted civilian casualties are higher than world figures. The Senators pressed about refugees, North Vietnamese forces, and end dates for the Laotian war, receiving cautious, guarded responses. The exchange highlighted tensions between secrecy norms and public accountability in wartime policy.
