SUBJECT The Relationship of Intelligence to Foreign Relations
JIM BOHANNON: Yesterday the voice of Senator Goldwater
was heard on the House side of Capitol Hill, before the Foreign
Affairs Committee.
And, Senator, let's lead off by having you tell us the
gist of what you told that committee.
SENATOR BARRY GOLDWATER: All right. Well, it was a
hearing on the relationship of intelligence to foreign policy or
foreign relations. And my comments were directed at the almost
perpetual, constant leaks of top classified material from sources
both in the White House or near the White House or in the Admin-
istration.
I was referring particularly yesterday to the leaks
to The New York Times and The Washington Post of material that
the intelligence committees had heard classified as over top
secret; and within a matter of a week, these matters appeared in
both of these newspapers, almost word-for-word. And the state-
ment was made that the material was received from sources close
to the National Advisory Committee of the President.
BOHANNON: So,, something has to be done. What do you
think should be done?
SENATOR GOLDWATER: Well, I don't know, frankly, what
can be done. This has been going on, not just this Administra-
tion; it's been going on all the years I've been in the Senate.
And from older-timers than me, they tell me it's been going on
before' that.
I think some of it comes under the form of treason.
