If proceedings in the Linnas case cannot meet the highest standards that U.S. justice is capable of, does...
...Japan, the Communist Party charged that it had found proof in the Library of Congress of a secret Washington-Tokyo accord. The Communists produced a photocopy of a 1966 State Department telegram to the U.S. embassy in Tokyo referring to a "confidential 1960 agreement ((that)) affords U.S. right to seek ((Japanese)) consent to introduction of nuclear weapons into Japan...
