Dear Mr. Walters:
I was very impressed with your statement before the
Senaue Select Committee. I know, in part, what you
went thru as I two years ago testified. before Senator
Ervin.s Constitutional Rights Committee on Privacy and
Surveillance. My appearance was requested as the result
of my book THE DEATH OF PRIVACY published by Random House.
Presently, I am doing research on THE PSYCHOLOGICAL RESIDUE
OF WATERGATE. In particular, I would appreciate a letter
from you in which you might describe some of your philoso-
phical points of view regarding the impact of your test-
imony and the hearings in general.
For everyone involved, these sessions have certainly
altered ones style of-living.
I leave the content of such a letter in your hands and
would find it useful to learn of your thinking and feelings
as these hearings directly affected you.
In advance, please accept my thanks for your cooperation
in this research undertaking.

Dear Professor Rosenberg:
Thank you for your letter of 28 January soliciting
my comments on the Watergate affair.
I do not believe that it would be appropriate for
me to comment on any dimension of the Watergate affair
at this time. Various aspects of the matter are still
under active review by committees of the Congress and by
the courts, and I consider that in the light of this fact
it would be presumptuous of me to comment further at this
time. I wish I could be of more help. Thank you for your
kind remarks concerning my appearance.
With every good wish.
