Henry R. Myers
House Subcommittee on Energy specialist who spent nearly fifteen years promoting intelligence claims about Israeli nuclear diversion via NUMEC.
Henry R. Myers was a specialist on energy issues for the House Subcommittee on Energy. He, along with Peter D. Stockton, spent nearly fifteen years relaying the suspicions of Carl E. Duckett and John L. Hadden to journalists as the views of knowledgeable intelligence sources, leading many reporters to publish these beliefs as "facts." Myers believed that NUMEC had been set up solely for the diversion of uranium, and alleged reports of a secure telephone or teletype between NUMEC and the Israeli embassy. He also claimed that Richard M. Helms believed Zalman Mordecai Shapiro was the head of a group collecting information for Israel.1
