All they have is a series OF
charges and denials, no concrete

Insist that the proof of his charg-
ses is in the governments own

the government department in
volved are under presidential
orders to keep the files locked
up, despite the subpoenas hand
ed them by the Senate Foreign

with contempt. But Senator Tom
