As late as mid-July, Defense Secretary Harold Brown assured Senator Frank Church of the Foreign Relations Committee that this Soviet role had not changed.

White House senior aides have been troubled for months about the infighting, but the President has helped both to create the problem and to nourish...
...dealings with foreigners are in the imperial court archives. We have asked for these documents and I would expect the truly explosive materials would be among them. [There is one] document in which former Iranian Ambassador to the U.S. Ardeshir Zahedi recorded the support of such prominent figures as [Zbigniew] Brzezinski, [Henry] Kissinger, [Nelson] Rockefeller and Senators [Howard] Baker and [Abraham] Ribicoff for the Shah's move in setting up a military government in the fall...
