The Nation - News from Nov. 20, 1985
House Judiciary Committee members, meeting in closed session, debated whether to release a confidential report described by The Times last week that criticizes the actions of some Administration officials during 1982-83 congressional investigations of the Environmental Protection Agency. Rep. Peter W. Rodino Jr. (D-N.J.), the committee chairman, told reporters later the panel agreed to allow persons criticized in the report to examine the document and offer comments before the 1,200-page study is made public. The report charges that a White House deputy counsel and three former Justice Department officials misled Congress and a federal court about the contents of EPA documents withheld from two House subcommittees.
