aird ord. of Vietn ers cleclass am "oaDer WASHINGTON (UPI) Defense Secretary Melvin R. Laird said today he had ordered the Pentagon to begin declassifying papers relating to the origins of the Vietnam war. Laird told newsmen during a recess in his appearance before a Senate Appropriations subcommittee that he had ordered the "stepped up" release of studies prepared at the Pentagon including previously top secret documents. I Stories based on some of these have been published by the New York Times, the Washington Post and the Boston Globe.

The Justice Department obtained temporary federal court res trainers against further publication by the Times and Post of stories based on the documents. The case involving the national security and freedom of the press is expected to reach the Supreme Court later this week. Laird did not say when or if the full 7,000 page study initiated in 1967 by one of his predecessors, Robert S. Mc-Namara, would be released in its entirety. "We will move as rapidly as we can," he said.

Laird said he would discuss the matter during a series of meetings Wednesday with congressional committees who had requested the documents. Laird made it clear that, when the documents are made public, it would not affect criminal actions by the Justice Department against persons who he said had "sto len" the papers and released them to the public press. Laird specifically denied a charge he said had been leveled by Pierre Salinger, a former White House press secretary that Laird himself had leaked the documents. He told newsmen that was not true. Defense Department regula tions require that if any secret documents appear in public print their security classification must be reviewed.

The regulations say that publication "does not preclude continued classification: however, such disclosures require immediate re-evaluation of the information to deter mine whether the publication has so compromised the information that downgrading or declassification is warranted." Attorney General John N. Mitchell Monday quoted Laird as saying that publication of portions of the study had violated national security. The same charges were made by the government In suits against the Times and Post Mitchell said the government, would tell the public what Is contained in the study "at the appropriate time and under the appropriate circumstances." He gave no hint when the government would consider an appropriate time. iticatioii Ellsberg still in seclusion Jotmiroa. Capital 1MJ Mil Section 2 Salem, Oregon, Tuesday, June 22, 1971 Page 9 r.

The story appeared in the same issue that revealed more documents the Globe were contained in the Pentagon study. The Globe's sources were not revealed and they said they -wished to remain anonymous.

Ellsberg reportedly said he would make a complete public statement when the court cases over the revelation of the documents were settled. "He said he did not want to" divert public attention from what he termed these important court battles over the public's right to know about the war," the Globe said. A full statement, Ellsberg reportedly said, "would only further complicate an already complicated situation." i Ellsberg met twice with Dr. Kissinger KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. (UPI) Dr.

Henry A. Kissinger, a chief architect of the Nixon administration's Vietnam policy, met twice with the man accused of making public secret Pentagon documents on the war, the White House said Monday. Kissinger, according to White House Press Secretary Ronald Ziegler, met privately with Daniel Ellsberg in September at the Western White House in San Clemente, and earlier with Ellsberg and other Vietnam experts in late 1968 in New York City while Nixon was president-elect. Ziegler said the San Clemente meeting was at the request of Ellsberg, who studied under Kissinger at Harvard, and the New York meeting was one of a series held by Kissinger in developing Nixon's policy on Southeast Asia.
