THE U.S. HOUSE OF LEPRESENTATIVES yesterday tossed
the CBS "Selling of the Pentagon" contempt-of-Congress case
back to its Commerce Committee,
Chairman Harley Staggers (D-W. Va.) said he plans no
new effort to try citing CBS for contempt.
CBS had refused to turn over to the committee subpoenaed
raw material from the documentary on Pentagon public relations
spending. In voting 226-181 to recommit the dispute, the House
avoided outright rejection of the Commerce Committee's recom-
mendation that CBS be cited for contempt.

mitted within the United States if the serviceman is out of uniform
and off duty.

0 dishonorable discharge. He said he would appeal the verdict .
