F
you know, we are now in the midst of conducting
the Committee's hearings on SALT II. The effort of the
Committee has been to hold fair and balanced hearings
giving both sides full opportunity to express views.
Essential to this process has been the bipartisan nature
of the Committee's staff preparation.
The reason we write to you today is to request your
assistance in this bipartisan effort by providing access
to the Committee's deliberations on monitoring and veri-
fication to two members of the Minority Staff -- the
Minority Staff Director, Albert A. Lakeland and Charles
Sorrels, the Minority consultant on verification matters.
We appreciate and applaud your efforts to protect
sensitive information and to hold to a rigid "need to
know" approach. However, given the importance of the
SALT Treaty and the necessity to develop information and
testimony in a bipartisan fashion, we believe it imperative
that the Minority be given the same access in monitoring
and verification matters as my Staff Director, William
Bader, and the Committee's consultant, Harry Sauerwein.
With every good wish,
