"Our national-security requirements therefore demand early and prompt legislative action to correct these apparent deficiencies in the law." The corrective law, he said, should "strike a proper balance between the right of the public to know and the indispensable ability of our government to function."

AMERICAN officials here and in India complained that during the Indo-Pakistan war, intelligence experts and experienced state department per- sonnel were removed from policymaking.
