...Chancellor went ahead and stepped down. And the C.D.U.'s Deputy Leader Rainer Barzel, who had been instrumental in forcing Erhard to face the caucus, was now maneuvering to isolate Erhard from any remaining support.

Though he saw several West German officials, he said that he mentioned Klein only once, to former Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, and then only after Adenauer raised the subject...
...Internal Security Subcommittee. David Martin, who had accompanied the Senator to Germany, testified that Dodd had in fact interviewed a defected Soviet agent. Martin acknowledged, however, that barely seven hours of the six-day trip were spent on the defector's case and that Dodd discussed Klein with Konrad Adenauer...
