its findings in connection with CIA-academic relations,
the subject of this lawsuit. However, the Committee
found it neither necessary nor advisable to make avail-
able all details regarding the conduct of its investi-
gation and the data assembled. This Committee feels
that further publication of information collected by
its predecessor is not warranted at this time.
Sincerely,
