Stennis Finds No Substantial Helms Testimony Discrepancy
Senate Armed Services Chairman John C. Stennis said his staff found no substantial discrepancies in Richard Helms testimony before Senate panels. Helms, then CIA deputy director, defended agency limits while denouncing reports of wide domestic spying as irresponsible and ruinous. He acknowledged gathering information on radicals when evidence emerged of foreign links, with much data from FBI and Justice. Colby had testified on CIA infiltration and files on about 10,000 Americans. Cannon said Helms framed agency penetration as more innocuous than Colby suggested.
