Laird details secret Vietnam era reporting channels
Adviser to President Nixon testifies after a memo revealed procedures to hide 1969 bombings from the press. Laird said the plan created a separate reporting channel to the Joint Chiefs chair, himself, and the President, with moves to falsify official Air Force and Navy reports. The Nov 20 1969 memo by Gen Wheeler proposed strikes on Cambodian sanctuaries to produce a credible public narrative. See LAIRD Page 12.
