Repeat for information Washington (Personal for Ambassador), CONGEN NY (Personal for Consul General). Personal for the Ambassador Begins: The Internal Security Subcommittee of the Judicial Committee of the USA Senate released yesterday to the press extracts of the record of the executive session at which John K. Emmerson was cross examined.50 The allegations and insinuations made during the course of the session are of the same nature as those which have been previously made by this Subcommittee in USA and I shall not burden you with the detailed text. 2. As the result of the allegations Mr. Pearson in answer to a question in the House by Mr. Diefenbaker this morning made a statement based on the text given in my immediately following telegram.?51 Such alterations as he made in this text were of a minor nature and do not affect the substance. 3. As you will see from this statement the Canadian Government intends to lodge a protest with the USA Government and I shall send you a report on this matter as soon as the protest has been lodged. 4. I regret personally that these allegations have again been
made publicly and I know how unpleasant they are for you
personally. I thought you would like to have as soon as possible
a text of the Minister's remarks in the House and to know of the
warm tribute he has paid to you and in which I join. Léger, Ends.
