Stennis' (D. , Miss.) and other staff members of the Armed Services Committee. It was not McFadden's intent to affect the security understanding governing the use of the NID within the Committee. I said we would be back in touch with him on this. McFadden said they would defer to us on permitting an attorney access to portions of the May 1973 transcripts dealing with Watergate.
