Tn SN ttn meme tte = dat me ae ono os reap sete ndiietwetenatiny ors, te tn tte opal celts cielo rte Sm 2 pe @ Senator Stennis Page 3 PRIVATE and CONFIDENTIAL this stage, I can only amplify the contents of the second para~ graph of my initial letter to you (Aug. 20, 3971). The informa- tion cdntained in All Honorable Men (and Women), especially the first ction, is going to be made public. Whether it will be be- fore of after a Senate investigation/action will depend almost ex- clusively on the decision made by your Committee. In this connection, it is most important that you know that I have made arrangements for its publication as automatically as possible coinciding with my un- timely death or sudden and/or undue incapacitation. Especially -wnder such regrettable circumstances, and to pre-answer the questicn ‘that is certain to arise in the collective mind of a fair portion of the public--whether you were made aware of it?--my experience with you will be included in the publication. Not only will the , publication be made domestically, but in several foreign countries ana in more than one foreign language (another time consumer). In any event, the period of secrecy is approaching an end. As you will note below, copies of this letter, with photo- _ copies of the previous correspondence, are being sent concomitant- ly to your fellow Committeemen. Additionally, a copy of the manu- _seript is being sent to your Vice Chairman, Senator Bennett. I ‘regret not being able to provide each, individually, with a copy. - However, if strictly private means for photocopying are available to you, you have my permission to make extra copies for those di- rectly concerned with this affair. . Although I provide the answers to a number of hitherto un- answered questions in my book, I daresay they stimulate still others to which answers are yet lacking. I would anticipate he- ing able to answer some of those, but there are questions still in- completely answered in my mind, too. However, I believe the an- swers are obtainable and my conviction is strong that they should be ‘found. ; A few of the questions in your mind(s) probably concern me. For instance, you may wonder at my motive. That can be answered ~ readily in one word: duty. and please accept such assurance as I can give that I do not seek to draw attention te myself. I can also tell you, and you may ke interested in knowing it, that in, . the past I have been given a governmental clearance for Secret. j . fhe agency involved was the Navy; the time, circa 1956-1962. I: would assume this is verifiable through the records of either or both the Navy and the FBI. :
