that it would be desirable to invite a limited number of press representatives to attend Operation REDWING.
Mr. Strauss said he would speak to the
Under Secretary of State later in the day and would inform him of the
Commissioners' views on press attendance.
He added that if AEC's views
were not accepted by the other agencies, he believed it should be made
clear that it was not the Commission's decision to exclude press representatives.

week of March 19.
