Presidential Appointees
Mr. Scott used the example
of Presidential appointees
testifying before a
Congressional committee.
Several of Mr. Nixon's
appointees have refused to
testify, claiming to fear a
breach of confidential
relationship established with
the President through such
means as memoranda and
conversation. In such cases, the
President has been consulted
first.
Now, according to the
Senator, every witness
appearing is asked to sign a
statement that he will testify
willingly "if given reasonable
and seasonable notice."
