Most important, he is chairman of the Permanent Investigations Subcommittee of Government Operations, a post he has used to mount assaults on Administration foreign policy. Says a Senate dove who disagrees with Jackson: "Senators like John Tower, Barry Goldwater and Strom Thurmond, who hold a view of the world that is similar to Scoop's, have been at a loss to know how to cope with a self-styled Republican conservative in the White House who has undertaken to establish normal relations with the Soviet Union.

But we see no harm in finding out more about their activities. ITT's little excursions into electoral politics in this country and in Chile may fall outside the scope of the present disclosure resolution, as Hugh Calkins '45, chairman of the subcommittee, was quick to point out. But they...
