Security Group Denies Data Request On Testimony Release
JOHN CHADWICK reports the security group says no request was made to the State Department for a chance to review future testimony before public release. The State Department challenges Carter records and the transcript release linking Norman to communism prompts Canada to protest. Norman, Canada’s ambassador to Egypt, reportedly died by his own hand in Cairo after the transcript’s publication. The Canadian government advised the United States to suspend further security information exchanges unless assurances were given to withhold from Congress. Morris notes no congressional clearance was sought and committee policy remains unchanged.
