N. B. The above listing covers only current members of Con res on
whom we have firsthand knowledge of such briefing. Ther; is,
however, every reason to believe that the relationship is :--
fact known to many more members. Following the 1967
disclosu.lr.:s, the relatively low level of secrecy surround
the relationship As a result all nosf a!'-,.
senior members probaby have become knowledgable of ti:
relationshi~_ Through responsible sources. For exan ple,
in November of 1967 a number of senators attended a lunc:.
hosted by Senator Eastland at which all agreed that the
closing of the Radios would be most unfortunate. Senator;:
Muskie, Hart, Spong, and Bible were among those attend.-.g,
we understand.'
