IN RECENT YEARS there
has been a growing tendency on
the part of agencies in the Exec
utive Branch to withhold infor
mation of a non-security nature
from Congress and the public.
The trend has been particu
larly pronounced in departments
handling con
troversial mat
ters like for
eign aid whose
officials have
become sensi
tive to repeat-
e d criticisms.
But it also has
cropped up in
such unlikely places as the Mi
gratory Game Bird Commission
which has classified documents
on the wanderings of migrating
game birds as “confidential” and
the Department of Agriculture
which, until Secretary Freeman
lifted it, had placed an “adminis
tratively confidential” stamp on
an order permitting 13 per cent
more water to be added to hams.
The situation was summarized
recently by Columnist Joseph
Alsop with the observation that,
after “having always been the
most open government in the
world, ours has now become . . .
a closed government.”
* + *
LAST YEAR A Subcommittee
of the House Committee on Gov
ernment Operations made a for
mal report about the “road
blocks, delays and denials of in
formation imposed by the Exec
utive Branch* which it had en
countered in its investigations of
foreign aid.
The Subcommittee said these
blackages of which it gave spe
cific examples “are rooted in the
nebulous doctrine of executive
privilege and in the so-called
third agency rule.” The former,
774 s :i
it explained, is the contention
that the Executive Branch has a
constitutional right to make a
unilateral determination of what
information Congress is entitled
to receive. The latter, it elab
orated, is an unauthorized exten
sion of an Executive Order on
classified documents which pro
hibits one agency from releasing
a document originating in an
other agency without the con
sent of the originating agency.
Only recently Congress amend
ed the old law on preservation
of government documents to pro
vide that it would not authorize
withholding information from
Congress or the public, but the
withholding continues through
both arbitrary and devious pro
cedures.
* * *
IN ONE CASE the Subcom
mittee resorted to holding a
hearing after a request for in
formation had gone unfilled for
seven weeks. Testimony dis
closed that the request had been
routed through 12 different of
fices and was gathering dust in
the “in box” of an Assistant
Secretary.
in all instances except those
involving matters relating to the
physical security of our nation,
the people have a right to know
everything about the affairs and
activities of their government
and to permit the withholding of
information from Congress on
any grounds is a gross interfer
ence with its constitutional re
sponsibility to conduct the peo
ple's business. Congress, through
the power of the purse and, as a
last resort, the power of the sub
poena, should make certain that
that right is upheld.
