Mansfield seeks probe into CIA agents on Capitol Hill
Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield said he hopes the CIA has not placed secret agents in Congress and will ask the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Activities led by Sen. Frank Church to investigate. He stressed no evidence exists but said any such presence should be rooted out and questioned whether the Church committee can finish its review by September. The CIA acknowledged assigning staff to other federal posts but denied spying or infiltration, stating officials knew of the relocations.
