I have kept silent. on what was in the video tapes on the advice of counsel in the firm belief that ultimately justice would prevail at the Justice Department. Apparently this is not to be. So I will tell you today why I feel the Department would not release their taped "evidence." In addition to the fact that I am not guilty of any crime or indiscretion the tapes will show: That I advised the agents to talk to their own lawyers on any immigration matters. That I advised against an attempt to get the phony Sheik into the United States in view of this administrations treatment of high ranking foreign leaders who sought sanctuary here. (Yet NBC on the night of February 3. 1980 unequivocallyand falselysaid I introduced legislation on behalf of the Sheik and it passed the House of Representatives. and attributed this report to Government sources.) That I in no manner or form whatsoever entered into a discussion of any business arrangement from which I might benefit financially or otherwise with the agents and/or Lawrence Buser. That. in fact. the agents repeatedly suggested such arrangements to Buser all of which were turned down.
