Lake Says Wiretap Suit Won't Hinder Transition Role
W Anthony Lake, named as Carter's emissary to the State Department, says his wiretapping suit against Kissinger will not interfere with his transition duties. The 1974 suit alleges Kissinger and Nixon tapped his home line for nine months after Lake left the NSC to protest the Cambodian invasion. The State Department says Lake will receive important papers, and Kissinger aides reaffirm cooperation with the transition. Carter says he is rested and ready to work, with no immediate response to a proposal for Kissinger to stay on for Mideast talks.
