The text of that cable is as follows: "There may be danger. NHU attempting entrapment DON's approaches to CONEIN. Feel quite strongly that LODGE and HARKIN can stand back from any non-essential involvement. It seems wise to maintain close control over meetings between DON and CONEIN." p. 33 TOP SECRET SOURCE: Hearings, SSCI, June 20, 1975, Conein, Exhibit one STAFF: R. DAWSON DATE: 6/30/75
