To aid this discussion, "The Paper" contributes the following series of excerpts.—The Editors, Accusations that the MSU project was a CIA front are "ridiculous/* (Artnur) Brandstatter (chairman, School of Police Administration and Public Safety) sand. "I don't think anyone can make this statement/' **I can honestly say that I donotknow that there were any CIA people work­ ing there.
