WASHINGTON (AP) --The secret Nixon administration Vietnam policy papers that Sen. Mike Gravel, D-Alaska, has been blocked for more than two weeks from putting on the public record were quietly inserted in the Congressional Record Thursday by Rep. Ronald V. Dellums."Gravel gave me the papers, asked me to put them in the record, and I agreed to do it because I think the American people have the right to know the basis on which the President's reckless decisions are being made," Dellums, D-Calif., said.He inserted in the record without objections from any House member 29 pages of the memorandum sometimes referred to as the Kissinger papers for President Nixon's National Security adviser Henry Kissinger, on opposing Pentagon and civilian agencies recommendations on Vietnam war policy in 1969."Put Secret War Paper In Record", by (AP), published in the Pacific Stars and Stripes on Saturday, May 13, 1972 and reprinted from European and Pacific Stars and Stripes, a Department of Defense publication copyright, 2002 European and Pacific Stars and Stripes.
