who had requested the hearing
and had read an opening state
ment.
"Of course, we'd rather not
have to proceed without Senator
Wiley, but there is subcommit-

tor Hennings. The two Sena-
tors then conferred in whispers.
''We have decided to wait un-

announced Senator LANCER.
"I[his is a very important mat

There was a startled silence,
then the Senators arose from
the committee table and were
promptly surrounded by report

while, Senator Langer was tell
ing other reporters that Sena-
