'Additional View'

And in an "additional view," Sen. Abraham
Ribicoff (D-Conn.), who did not vote against
releasing the report, chastised it for failing to
see the problems in a larger focus.

"Universities are not the only institutions
under attack," Sen. Ribicoff said. "The family
is fragmenting, churches are said to be
irrelevant, and the government is stagnating."

But Mr. Ribicoff added later, "Student
dissent today merely reflects the suspicion
among the general populace that headless
horsemen are in the saddle leading us through
times of trouble and turmoil."

Chairman John L. McClellan (D-Ark.)
blamed the holdup in releasing the report on
members who delayed in making their
comments after its initial distribution in
January 1970. But a Senate aide said last week,
"that subcommittee has a track record of
holding hearings then years later releasing a
report."
