...HOUSE. The fragile relations between the House committee and the White House blew apart in a fierce fight over who has the right to release sensitive documents. Officials from the Pentagon and the CIA had asked the committee to delete four seemingly innocuous words ("and greater communications security") before making public a top-secret document on Egypt's military preparations for the 1973 Yom Kippur War.

If that was hyperbole, Kissinger could easily be forgiven. He had fathered the agreement and had cajoled, nudged and pressured both sides into accepting it. The Israelis were particularly resentful of that pressure and during the negotiations there was a coolness between them and the Americans that did not exist before...
