Senate Foreign Relations Chair Reacts To Carter Afghanistan Shift
The piece outlines Senator Church reshaping the committee into a policy balance wheel amid Carter administration secrecy. It notes Church warned of Soviet intervention, helped shield Afghan moves, and credited Javits and Bader for cross party balance while detailing the FBI probe into a man linked to suspected communists and his years-long effort to clear his name. The report frames these events as part of a broader shift in U S foreign policy during the era.
