Late Monday afternoon, on March 28th, I received a call from Tanenbaum. The House was scheduled to vote that Wednesday on the reauthorization bill and the Committee members as well as the top staff counsel had been spending most of their time lobbying among the individual lawmakers for support. As they discovered, while many of the Congressmen didn't care for Gonzalez, he was part of the club. Some members even resented Sprague - viewed by a least one Congressman as "just a clerk" - for having beaten out Gonzalez.

That Monday, Gonzalez himself had been on the House floor ranting again about Sprague's "insubordination" and even distributing copies of a "Dear Colleague" letter to every House member urging that the Committee be dropped. He was thirsting for revenge.

I asked Tanenbaum how it looked.

"It depends on who you talk to what time of the day." He did not sound optimistic. "Anyway, Wednesday is the day. We'll know one way or the other.&

William Bast

Bill Bast (met bril) met partner Paul Huson in Hollywood

On Februari 1957, I was en route from Jakarta, via Manilla and Hawai to New York to attend a forthcoming debate on the dispute between Indonesia and Holland over New-Guinea. In Manilla I bought a pocket biography about the actor James Dean written by a former roommate William Bast. (Ballentine Books, New York, 1956) I read the book on a stratocruiser flight with Pan American Airways to Honolulu. I was convinced that the real story about intimate relations between them had not been told. Once in Manhattan, I traced Mr. Bast and in the evening of March 3, 1957 we met in his apartment. I left at 04:45 in the morning. (Memoires: 1953-1957, In den Toren, Baarn, 1986, p.p. 232-233). Bill - and his partner for dozens of years, Paul Huson - became friends for life. That is to say, until my last visit early in 2001, like with my friends the Kelloggs

in California, till about six months prior to the 09-11 disaster. After I send Bill and Paul my brochure, Who are the no. 1 War Criminals? the

Willem Oltmans

Dutch investigative journalist

Willem Leonard Oltmans (addressed as William Oltmans in some English publications; 10 June 1925 – 30 September 2004) was a Dutch investigative journalist and author active in international politics.

Due to the highly critical stance he often took towards Dutch foreign policy, as of 1956, the Dutch government conspired to keep him out of work. A lengthy lawsuit (1991–2000) involving the Royal family led to the state having to pay him damages.^[1]

Early life

Oltmans was born into a wealthy family with roots in the Dutch East Indies. During the Second World War he was a member of the Dutch Resistance. "We blew up a German train," Oltmans told the Dutch daily Reformatorisch Dagblad in 2003.^[2] "Hitler called me a terrorist, but I saw myself as a freedom fighter."

He studied at Nyenrode Business University (1946) and Yale University (1948), without graduating. Originally intent on a career with the diplomatic corps of the foreign service, he ended up working in press offices in the Netherlands (1953–
