MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
OLC 73-0611
24 May 1973
SUBJECT: Briefing of the Special Subcommittee on Intelligence
of House Armed Services Committee
1. This morning Messrs. Lawrence Houston, General Counsel;
William Broe, Inspector General; Howard Osborn, Director of Security;
Paul Gaynor, Chief, Security Research Staff; and
Secretary to General Walters, appeared before the above Subcommittee
about Agency action taken on letters received from James McCord. The
meeting lasted from 1000 hours to 1245 hours. There was no technical
sweep of the room, 2216 Rayburn House Office Building, and the room
was not kept under technical monitoring. Discussions were on a Secret
level. A transcript was taken and is on file in the Office of Legislative
Counsel.
2. Present for the session were:
Lucien N. Nedzi (D., Mich.), Chairman
F. Edward Hebert (D., La.)
Melvin Price (D., Ill.)
William G. Bray (R., Ind.)
Leslie C. Arends (R., Ill.)
Bob Wilson (R., Calif.)
3. Present from the staff were:
Frank Slatinshek, Chief Counsel
William Hogan

Approved for Release: 2017/01/18 C01482423
4. During the hearing, Chairman Nedzi and Mr. Slatinshek
criticized Mr. Houston rather severely for the Agency's not reporting
the existence of the McCord letters to the FBI at the time they were
received. In this connection, Representative Wilson said he wondered if
the Agency had actually gone along with "McCord's game plan." He said
this would explain why these letters were just now being surfaced.
Mr. Houston had a conversation with Nedzi and Slatinshek at the conclusion
of the hearing and it seemed he was able to dispel some of their concern.
5. Followup action:
a. The Committee asked to provide copies
of her shorthand notes of the memorandum which she prepared
for General Walters and copies of the Xerox copy which she
made of each of these.
b. They asked for the exact date when Mr. Osborn was
called
