To the Editors of The Crimson:

At the Faculty meeting on Tuesday, Mary Nolan, associate professor of History spoke at some length about United States investments in South Africa, using as her text a "report of the Senate subcommittee on African Affairs." During her address she referred many times to the findings and conclusions of this subcommittee of the Senate on Foreign Relations, chaired by former Senator Dick Clark.

The document to which she referred, in fact, is not a Senate Report nor is it a report of a Senate subcommittee. It is no more than a Committee Print which reports to the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations the individual views of former Senator Clark. "The views expressed in this study are my own," the Senator says in the introduction, "and are not necessarily the views of other members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee."

I do not presently have available evidence that would enable me to judge whether or not former Senator Clark's findings are correct, nor perhaps do more than 90 per cent of those who heard Professor Nolan at the Faculty meeting and on the live radio broadcast of that meeting. This being the case, it is misleading for Professor Nolan to have given this document more standing than it deserves, more standing than its author claims for it.
