Letters to the Editor
Quotation Disputed
Your April 24 Foreign Insight feature
contains a false quote from me:
"Any compromise that's acceptable to
Lee Hamilton would be repugnant to me."
I am said to have told a White House offi-
cial.
You used an anonymous source for this
alleged quotation without any effort to,
check the accuracy of the quotation with
me or my Office of Public Affairs. The
truth is that I have known and worked with
Mr. Hamilton for over 10 years, hold him
in high respect. and never made any state-
ment or harbored any thoughts with re-
spect to him which 'remotely resemble
those that you recklessly attributed to
me.
