A FRIENDLY MEETING
PROGRAM
STATION WAVA Radio
NEWSCASTER: "Senator Wayne Morse of Oregon has called for
the resignation of the Central Intelligence Agency's new Direc-
tor, Richard Helms.
"John Chambers has the reason why from Capitol Hill."
CHAMBERS: "The Senate Foreign Relations Committee was pla-
cated by new CIA Director Helms. He told Senator Fulbright and
the other members present that an aide had written the Letter
commending the St. Louis Globe Democrat for its biting editorial
on Fulbrigh.t -- that he had not focused on the Letter, even
though the editorial was attached to it, because he was signing
a pile of personal correspondence. He did not write the letter,
he said.
"Most members now agree that everyone makes mistakes and
something constructive will come out of this one. Said Senate
Leader Mansfield, 'If we had to quit every time we made a mis-
take, the entire Senate would resign.' Oregon Senator Morse had
a statement read to Helms in which he demanded Helms' resigna-
tion. Mansfield described it as a friendly meeting.
"John Chambers on Capitol Hill,"'
