Vice President Nelson Rockefeller has described "a real problem of amnesia" that pervades the recollection of the principals still alive. Bissell swore an oath to keep secret whatever they were called upon to do in the national interest. In their view, amnesia may well be another word for integrity in these times of damaged vocabularies...
