Thankfully, Robert Blakey got them to commit in writing. Didn't matter after George Joannides was called out of retirement to serve as liaison with the HSCA.
Going from memory: Mr. Hardway said today's events make clear that the nation needs to control the national security state before it completely snuffs out democracy.
