Flanigan Agrees To Limited Appearance Before Senate
White House aide Peter M. Flanigan says he will testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee if questions are limited to his role in hiring a consultant for the Justice Department antitrust suit against ITT and his meeting with ITT president Harold S.
