...plague on all three houses-the legislative, the executive and the judicial ! Until all three adopt a rigid code of ethics and stick to it, this kind of outcry is cant and hypocrisy...

The prospective rules would not only bar judges from outside employment, excepting only lecturing, writing and teaching on legal subjects, but would also require disclosure within the Judicial branch of all income.

In any event, while the Pueblo investigation could have brought this entire question of the code into public discussion, it never did. The question remains unanswered, and the problems remain unsolved concerning espionage missions in general and the difficulties of mounting chancy military operations in which wartime conditions may suddenly arise while the country is technically at peace. The Pueblo case may be closed...
