The House subcommittee investigating Billie Sol Estes fired Republican counsel Robert Manuel for leaking a confidential report to the press. Chairman L H Fountain said Manuel admitted releasing the document to aid the Texas attorney general, sparking calls for a replacement and tighter control on leaks. Rep. Ross Bass announced the firing, while Rep. Florence Dwyer noted initial dissent but supported action to prevent future disclosures. A full executive-session transcript will be released later.
