After my most recent exchange with the Department I concluded publicly that it was taking a proArab position. Today I should like to call attention of the Senate to the most recent abuse of the peoples right to know. which happens to be in this area of Middle Eastern affairs. Merriman Smith of United Press International reports to the Philadelphia Bulletin that Milton Friedman of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. an American news service which is accredited to the Capitol Press Galleries. was refused admittance to a State Department background briefing session on problems involving refugees in the Middle East. Apparently the State Department disagreed with recent dispatches which had been filed by Mr. Friedman. who many of us know to be a careful and accurate reporter.
