Wiped Tapes. The CIA did not at first report the incident to the FBI or the Senate Watergate committee, the report charges, because CIA officials feared that Pennington might have operated as a domestic agent, possibly in violation of the agency's charter. Not until last February was the information released to the Ervin committee, and then only because a CIA employee stubbornly insisted on it. Explaining its delay in taking action, the CIA claims that its director of security did not learn of the McCord episode until last February...

Kissinger immediately called Schlesinger and, in the President's name, instructed him to arrange for the charter of 20 civilian transport planes. Schlesinger said the Pentagon had tried to hire civilian charters but failed. Most [airline] companies...
...Department of Defense was seen to be dragging its heels in resupplying Israel is wrong; there is a difference between dragging your heels and having your shoes nailed to the floor by national policy.
