Ells berg speaks
out
on
pen tagon
The following is an interview
with Daniel Ellsberg by Carl Nelson,
of the College Press Service, and
Frank Greer, Special Projects Di-
rector, National Student Association.
Greer: We should begin with
a history of your experiences in
the government, the work you
did with the Rand Corp., and
how that affected your view of
foreign policy and government.
Nelson: And specifically as
that related to your decision to
release the papers to the press.
Ellsberg: The reason I was
asked to be on the study that
came to be known as the Penta-
gon Papers was that I had
worked for the Department of
Defense on Vietnam in '64 and
'65 and had also spent two years
with the Department of State
in Vietnam. So by late '67, I
had spent three years working
on Vietnam.

Prior to that I had worked
for the Rand Corp. on a study
of decision-making and crises.
It I the position] gave me an
interest and experience in ana-
lyzing processes of governmen-
tal decision-making.
Ultimately I was authorized
access to the entire study, for
purposes of analysis. And at the
end of that I was an expert, in
the sense that I had read a.
7,000 page book that no one
else had read. I found that a
very lonely feeling.
The position was quite isolat-
ing because it gave me a point
of view on the nature of our
involvement that others could
not really be expected to under-
stand or share. It didn't seem
healthy for this country, for our
democracy, that there should be
only one, or a small handful of
such experts.
We are talking here about
decisions that involve the his-
tory of all of us-the history by
which our elected representa-
tives and their appointed offic-
ials got us into a major war. It
was something that I thought
every citizen needed to know
and certainly other members of
the government outside the ex-
ecutive branch needed to know.
T h e y weren't complicated,
they were facts of our experi-
ence and our decision-making
-the performance of the people
that had been elected or ap-
pointed. So, I felt-that it was
essential that Congress, in par-
ticular, make good decisions and
informed decisions-that Con-
gress should know a great deal
more about the background of
past decisions than the Execu-
tive had let them know.
Ultimately, I felt the same to
be true for the public, especially
after the last year or so which
has seen two more invasions
take place.under what were ob-
viously conditions of the same
kind of deception and executive
usurpation of authority that the
earlier decisions had shown.
That led me to the decision to
make, this information avail-
able to the public and the press.
Nelson: When did you make
that decision?'
Ellsberg: The decision with
respect to Congress was made
really almost a year and a half
ago. But I think that it was
really after the Laos invasion
this year that it seemed to be
urgent to give a still wider audi-
ence access to this material.
Greer: There has been a ques-
tion in the minds of the Con-
gressmen that met with you
recently about whether this
papers
study and its release mean that
there will be substantial change
in either the public's view of
wars of this type or the execu-
tive steps that leads us into
these wars.
Ellsberg: I believe that the
immediate change to be hoped
for is in the performance and
behavior of the current elected
representatives, particularly in
Congress. There is no one in the
country who has not a great
deal to learn from these papers,
and by that I mean to include
the President, and former presi-
dents.
I was disappointed to hear
Secretary of State Rusk a week
or two after they had come out
say that he had not yet had
time to look at the material.
But Secretary Rusk no longer
has the power to end the war.

nesbriefs
By The Associated Press
BRIAN FAULKNER, Northern Ireland's prime minister, and
Britain's Edward Heath met in London yesterday night and
issued a joint statement concerning the immediate dispatchment
of 1,500 additional troops to Belfast.
The statement said that the additional troops will permit the
British army commander in Ulster to crush terrorism in Northern
Ireland and tighten up his control of the Irish border to the south.
Both governments claim that Irish Republican Army (IRA) ter-
rorists are receiving sanctuary and most of their weapons from the
south.
The tough new British action was sparked by the growing wave
of terrorism, bomb throwing and slaying of civilians and British
troops.
Terrorism has cost the lives of 116 persons, including 26 troops
since August 1969.
THE AIR FORCE grounded more than half its fleet of C5
super transports yesterday after an engine on one of them fell
off while the plane was preparing for takeoff on Sept. 29.
Pentagon spokesman Jerry Friedheim denied a charge by Rep.
Clarence Long, (D-Md.) that the Pentagon delayed announcement
of the mishap until Wednesday after the Senate approved another
$472 million for the plane. He said it was reported in Oklahoma
and apologized for not making it known in Washington.
The world's largest and most expensive aircraft - at $60 million
each - the C5 flies regular cargo runs to Vietnam and Europe.
There was no indication how long the planes will remain grounded.
A FEDERAL GRAND JURY announced yesterday the in-
dictment of 40 U.S. meat inspectors, 3 meat processing companies
and 6 other persons in Boston on charges of bribery, perjury
and conspiracy.
