Helms Sneaks to Senate Hearing on CIA Role
Richard Helms, former CIA head and current ambassador to Iran, slipped via back stairs to a closed Senate Intelligence hearing on CIA activities during 1966 to 1973. Sen. Church says the panel has hard evidence of assassination plots and cites a NYT report about aiding a group responsible for Trujillo’s 1961 murder. The hearings, split into morning and afternoon sessions, seek explanations for past CIA actions.
