“I think if the President would ask all of those in his office to release journalists from any strictures, any compunction about letting it be known--if they believed it appropriate--who leaked to them, that would be a very good idea. I hasten to add that the journalists themselves might not do it. They have not done it in previous times. We probably would still need this investigation. But it certainly--and my colleague from Iowa is right and I wouldn't want to compel them and I know he wouldn't either, but it certainly would, again, call into good light the desire, professed desire, of those in the White House, including the President himself, to get to the bottom of this because obviously it could, and it could quickly, provided the journalists who were so released would be willing to come forward.”
