INVESTIGATION OF THE MY LAI INCIDENT

INVESTIGATION OF THE MY LAI INCIDENT

One of the most important events during the Vietnam War that turned the American People against the war.

HEARINGS OF THE ARMED SERVICES INVESTIGATING SUBCOMMITTEE
OF THE COMMITTEE ON ARMED SERVICES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES


DEAR MR. HEBERT :
I noted that on April 5 the U.S. Supreme Court refused to review the court-martial conviction of Lt. William L. Calley,Jr., for the murder of 22 civilians in the South Vietnamese hamlet of My Lai on March 16,1968.
The report of the My Lai Incident Subcommittee, which you chaired, contains the statement, "the transcript of testimony is classified and will not be released until final disposition has been made of all criininal cases now pending or which may arise from the My Lai affair."
Since the Supreme Court denial of Lt. Calley's petition concluded the last of the prosecutions resulting from the My Lai incident there would appear to be no impediment to publication of tlie subcommittee hearings. Accordingly, the printing of the transcript of the
subcommittee hearings is hereby authorized.

MELVIN PRICE Chairman
