The man with absolute veto power over what State Department spokesmen are allowed to say about the Soviet Union is Marshall Shulman, chief adviser on Soviet affairs. Assistant Secretary of State Hodiding Carter was allowed to say only that Moscows inflammatory broadcasts into Iran were not helpful. High officials have been advising Carter, however, to stop his submissive policy of turning the other cheek every time the Soviets defame the United States. Marshall Shulman, a radical leftist, as associate director of Harvards Russian Research Center, was selected by Harlan Cleveland, who was brought into the State Department in 1961, to be a member of his Advisory Committee. Cleveland, a security risk whose investigative file was labeled Espionage, selected a number of people for this committee whose security clearances were held up and finally handed down only after Otto Otepka, who insisted on proper security investigations, was removed from his position, as chief security .evaluations officer. Shulman received interim approval but emergency clearance had been opposed and full investigation recommended. He did not receive the Office of Securitys full approval until 1965 and this was by direction of higher anti-Americ- an authority. Jimmy Carter proclaimed SALT II to be his first foreign priority for 1979 and began the hardest sell of his Presidency to put it across. This is not is expected to be easy to do since time running out with the Presidential politics of 1980 looming on the horizon. Republican senators, congressmen all-oand state office holders have already begun an t. attack' on Carters conduct of affairs. He succeeded with the Panama Canal ut r AGREEMENT from Liberty Lobby 300 Independence Avenue, SE 7 missile activities at Sari Shagan. Without these facilities (now lost in the Iranian revolt-Ed- .) it is impossible for the U.S. to check accurately on the nuclear missile activities of the Soviets. Making matters worse, according to Gen. Daniel Graham, former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, a former CIA employee, William Kampiles, was recently convicted of turning over to the Soviets the KH-1- 1 manual, a technical volume describing the workings of our most advanced reconnaissance instrument, a huge photographic sky lab capable of filming missile sites in great detail from altitudes of 100 miles and more. Because of Kampiles betrayal the Soviets will now be able to devise methods to elude the U.S. spy lab. uIn my view, said Gen. Graham, uthe loss of facilities in Iran, coupled with loss of the manuals on our prime photographic satellite, KH-1means you wont be able to verify SALT I, let alone SALT II. A small item in US News & World Report of March 5, 1979, stated that Pentagon officials are' upset that Carter, while claiming that the Russians would have to reduce their missile and bomber force by 10 percent under a new treaty, neglected to mention that the bombers.

Orrin G. Hatch session of the new Congress that the SALT II Treaty may well determine the future course of world history. SALT II could be the pivoting factor in the thrust for continued freedom by the Western World. . . .It is my opinion that we are coming out on the short end of the deal with the treaty as now proposed. He called his colleagues attention to a column in the Washington Post which he placed into the Record. (Quote) Without apparent success so far, Secretary of Defense Harold Brown has privately warned President Carter of disastrous consequences if he pursues his present course of abandoning the intercontinental ballistic misnations land-bassile (ICBM) capability. Browns warning echoes the position for which Carters defense critics have been derided: If the Soviets are structuring their forces to fight an extended nuclear war and know that the United States is not, there is deep trouble ahead. The blunt warning, so out of character for the Brown as to be passionate, was provoked by Jimmy Carter himself. Meeting with senior officials on the defense buidget last Sept. 29, the president asked: Why do we need the Triad? In other words: why cant the United States dispense with land-base- d ICBMs, and rely on the other two legs of the Triad manned bombers and missile-firin- g submarines? Over a month elapsed before Brown completed an answer for the presidents eyes. Browns top secret memorandum of Dec: 1 contained this chilling message: The effect of the United States giving up, under successful Soviet pressure, a military capability of considerable value which the Soviet Union retains would, in my view, have disastrous consequences both internationally and domestically. State Department policy-make- rs flatly disagree, and even Brown himself does not talk that way in public. Nuclear physicist Brown is a private man, a cool scientist who avoids cold-wrhetoric. Unlike predecessors Melvin Laird and James Schlesinger, Brown has shunned the Cassandra role of pointing to the Soviet menace. He has, in the process, become one of Carters favorite cabinet members. Yet, there is no sign of presidential response to Browns warning. Nothing in writing from Carter has been received at the Pentagon. The gloomy consensus there is that he is determined, for the sake of arms control, to reject the Pefense Departments proposals to preserve the land-basICBM and the Triad. Specifically at. issue is whether the president will approve a mobile-basin- g system on land for the new MX missile to replace ; the fixed-baMinuteman, which is becoming vulnerable to Soviet attack. But mobile basing is viewed by arms controllers as destabiling because it would force Moscow to respond (while also violating the new SALT II arms-contrtreaty). Consequently, science adviser Frank Press and other presidential White House aides want to base the MX aboard (R-U- T) i ed low-key- ed ar . Washington, DC 20003 We Americans are not faced by an actual energy Crisis! We are faced by an artful program to raise prices on all energy products to fatten the already fat! This situation is serious, but not as serious as the real crisis that faces the factor of deceit and us dishonesty pervading the highest levels of our government. This energy crisis is but one offshoot of a deceptive program, and being pushed hard by so-call- internationalists exploiting Americans on various fronts. However, warning voices can be heard in rising volume. The Washington Post, on April 7th headlined: Gas Prices Cents. - A Seen Rising 15-Congressional spokesman warned yesterday that President Carters program to decontrol domestic oil prices will cost American motorists an additional 0 cents a gallon by 1981. Tht would be 3 or 4 times more than what the White House claims. ' On April 3rd, Father Casimir Gierut of Bunker Hill, IL wrote 20 15-2- President Carter: Our organization does not approve of your policy guaranteeing Israel's 85.000 barrels of . oil daily, or 2.400.000 barrels of oil each month, when the United States is in dire need of this commodity, to the extent that bur country must import one million barrels of oil each day! Furthermore, how can you commit our country with such a guarantee, to supply Israel with 29 million barrels of oil each year for the next 15 years? How can you be sincere and honest with the American people by telling us that we have a real shortage of oil, and face a crisis, when you are guaranteeing Israel plentiful oil daily? Recently an independent oil producer in Texas told me that he . could not obtain a rig to drill another well on his proven oil lease! Incredible! Just who is running our government?
