The immediate public and press response was suspicion that right-wingers had planted forged documents in an effort to break up Andreotti's fragile, five-week-old Christian Democratic minority government, which relies heavily on tacit Communist support. Carl Kotchian and Dale H. Daniels, the Lockheed officials who were supposed to have written two of the documents published by L'Espresso, denied any knowledge of them last week.
