precent the furnishing, upon law
full demand, of information to any
regularly constituted committee OF

today removed a gag threat aimed

The gag had been in a bill sub
mitted by the Army and Navy pro-
posing stiff penalties for revealing
government codes or information
from the coded messages.
Critics OF the measure In its orig

diplomatic information would en-
able the President TO determine
what information could be revealed
to the American people and wouIc
forestall any attempt by Congress
to study the diplomatic moves lead
