QUESTION: "Senator Eartke, do you approve of General Quesada's dicta-
torial policies in the FAA?"
TANCE RARTKE: "Jim Harris, from Speedway, Indiana and champion of the
National Jaycee Safe-Driving Contest, you know, I'm glad to see a Hoosier here
and proud of you too, Jim, for the wonderful work you've done. Let me say this
to you, that I've had my difficulties with the general. I feel that hei has been
entirely too secretive; he's the head of an agency and I think that secrecy in
governmental agencies leads to abuse of power and I don't say that he necessarily
has abused it, but I was thinVing, he has stretched it pretty close to the edge."
QUESTION: "Do you feel the same may about the CENTRAL INT'E'LLIGENCE AGENCY,
senator?"
HAFMM: "Well, I wish they'd get their (wires?) fixed as to what they're
going to say. After all, we--all of us in the Senate and the rest of wa were
exposed to a rather shocking thing. We had every right to believe that they at
least knew what they were doing on the U-2 incident, especially when they testi-
fied behind closed doors, and tell the NAS--NASA (SIC) what's going on.
Somebody at least hadn't cleared with somebody in that situation and our
intelligence, at its best, is not too good. Let's say this to you; we could stand
some improvement there."
