I would be surprised if it wasn't input since that's the only safe state 
at power up/reset.

That's about what happens in the C64. There the 3 control lines going 
from the CPU port to the PLA, _LORAM, _HIRAM and _CHAREN have 3.3KOhm 
pullups.

As for a latch, you might want to take a look at the '273. This one has 
a _CLEAR input with which you can reset all latches to LOW upon Reset 
and get your defined state.
