The Washington Times reports that Mr. Nixon explains why the CIA was so upset about the infamous Pentagon Papers: because "one of the items in the Pentagon Papers could only have come from the fact that we had Brezhnev's car bugged." In another, unrelated article in the Times, Henry Kissinger is accused by "informed sources" that he withheld certain intelligence from the Joint Chiefs so as not to prejudice the SALT I. The intelligence indicated that the USSR was *planning* to violate the agreement with the new SS19; they were figuring out the appropriate loophole. Source of the intelligence? a "Brezhnev limousine telephone conversation." Food for thought. -- ..{allegra,seismo}!rlgvax!plunkett
