Those changes, which have been approved by Franco, are not expected to be announced until later this month. With Friday's action, Franco will be freed from the routine taks of government and from the obligation of attending cabinet meetings and making decisions on policy.

Dean HI immunity from prosecution based on Senate testimony. Such immunity would not prevent prosecutors from bringing charges based on evidence developed elsewhere. Philip B. Heymann, a member of Cox's staff, arguing for the prosecutors, said the court was being asked to order clear, potential defendants to give testimony on national television. Herman said a ban on broadcast coverage could be directed at the witness and not at the committee and therefore, would not create a constitutional conflict. He said witnesses could refuse to testify if there were radio or television coverage. Cox had suggested the broadcast ban as an alternative to a recommendation that testimony front potential defendants be taken in closed session. Heymann never mentioned a total ban on coverage in his argument but a spokesman for the prosecutors said it remained a part of their motion.
