NEWS SUMMARY
May 24, 1974
(Thurs. nets, wires)
The major stories of the day:
"Inadequate, 11 "unsatisfactory. 11 That Doar description of
t' scripts as evidence in a "constitutional process" led all
nets w/Rodino on all nets supporting him citing "mis-
statements, omissions of words and paragraphs, mis-
attributions in the statements of individuals, additions,
inaudibles and then there's the category of material
supposedly unrelated to Pres. actions which were deleted.
And we don't know what it is. 11 NBC's Scherer called the
comments of Rodino, Doar and Jenner who agreed
completely on NBC film -- the strongest criticism of
t'scripts to date and "still another attempt" to get RN
to turn over tapes.
NBC said JSC made himself available as soon as news of
Comm. comments reached WH. Rather said JSC's letter
to Comm. and appearance on WH lawn was an "immediate
counter-attack. 11 On all nets he said it escapes him why
Rodino-Hutchinson don't accept RN's offer and come down
to WH and verify the t'scripts in the same way ther were
prepared by listening to them.
Rather on CBS said
"in sum, RN's message to Hill was defiance. 11
Morton
on CBS said Doar called offer unconstitutional since each
MC must judge evidence for himself. Morton said Doar
indicated he'd recommend further subpoenas. And ABC's
Donaldson noted McClory "and others' called WH offer
unacceptable as MCs can't delegate their responsibility.
Meanwhile, noted Jarriel, RN was "proceeding as Pres despite
criticism he should take into consideration his perilous political
position.' ABC/NBC noted (over silent film) RN's meeting w/
Russ parliamentarians who brought a private communication
from Brezhnev. ABC/NBC noted preparations for summit
continued w/Warren saying RN will go, negotiating from a
position of strength. Brokaw noted WH dismisses suggestion
RN's been weakened because of impchmnt investigation. ABC
quoted Warren that US foreign policy isn't conducted "on the
basis of domestic debate. 11
