hearing

Senator KENNEDY. All right. I want to thank you for your helpfultestimony, Mr. Gittinger. It is not easy to go back into the past. Ithink you have been very fair in your characterizations, and I thinkit is quite appropriately indicated that there are different standardsnow from what they were 25 years ago, and I think you have respondedvery fairly and completely to the inquiries, and I think with a gooddeal of feeling about it.You are a person who is obviously attempting to serve the country'sinterest, so I want to thank you very much for your statement andfor your helpful timeliness.Mr. GITINGER. Thank you, sir.Senator INoU-i. Senator Case?Senator CASE. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am sorry that I hadanother committee that I had to complete the hearing with this morningbefore I got here.I shall read the testimony with very great interest, and I appreciateyour testimony as I have heard it. I would like to comment just onone point, and that is, it relates to a story in the press yesterday aboutpart of this program involving the funding of a grant at a foreignuniversity. I would like to elicit from you a comment as to the additionalsensitivity and difficulty that that practice involves from yourstandpoint as a scientist, as well as a citizen, if you will.Mr. GITINGER. I will say it was after the fact thinking. It was utterstupidity the way things worked out to have used some of this moneyoutside the United States when it was CIA money. I can categoricallystate to my knowledge and I don't claim a complete knowledge all theway across of the human ecology functions, but to my knowledge, andthis is unfortunate, those people did not know that they were gettingmoney from CIA, and they were not asked to contribute anything toCIA as such.Senator CASE. It would be interesting to try to examine this by turningthe thing around and thinking what we would think if this happenedfrom a foreign official agency to our own university.
