that information.
The progress you have made

Walter Offers
Bill to Guard
Classified Dutu

A bill providing for increased
protection of classified infor-
nation released to the Nations
industries has been introduced
by Representative Walter
Democrat Of Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Walter, chairman of the
House Committee on Un-Amer-
ican Activities. said the meas
ure would authorize the Secre-
tary of Defense to set up regu-
lations and other safeguards
involving the use of classified
information.
Tile bill, amending the 1850
Internal Security Act, would
give the Defense Secretary
subpoena powers to compel
witnesses to appear and testify.
Individuals whose security
clearance was denied or re-
voked would be given an op-
portunity for appeal and a
hearing. They also could be rep
resented by counsel, inspect
documentary evidence and
cross examine orally or
through written questions any
witness providing adverse in
formation against them.
However. the Secretary would
be empowered to withhold clas-
sified documentary evidence
under certain conditions and
protect the idenity of inform
ants if. in his judgment this
was in the interest of national
