E. Bishop | f Holmes \ }}tuicr REMARKS OF SENATOR TYDINGS (D.- MARYLAND) MAY 15, 1969 ON WRC -) Ove Phe fel Reference is made to my memorandum sent through earlier today in which it was stated that it was believed that CBS newscaster Roger Mudd was the individual who asked questions of Senator Tydings, ’ f AY V\ The Director inquired: "How could a CBS Newscaster , be on an NBC network ?" ; 7 fo foot My office has been advised that this was an open press conference held by Senator Tydings and that a number of newsmen and cameramen representing the various networks were present. The questioner, who we’ are informed was Roger Mudd, of CBS, was not shown. Frequently a network will utilize a question and answer from a news conference which they deem newsworthy, even though their own | announcer covering the conference did not propound the query which their camera crew filmed. This would explain why NBC did not use the name of the announcer, 7 3.- 186 d-~ RECOMMENDATION: ED For information. aur Bay NOT REEQRUED — — / oa (io FLED mM MAY, 21 1969 on es a th ee Eda OBE. } F 1 - Mr. Tolson G. ww shows OO ‘ i - Mr. DeLoach % esi chat Pt i “AB .
