Senate Armed Forces Committee in the Helms period. This
interview was not particularly informative. He has received no
word yet from Legislative Liaison on his request for an

We received a call on 27 October from) STAT
Legislative Liaison, about drafting a speech for Mr. Casey to
deliver before the Goldwater Committee on 3 November in support
of a resolution to establish a National Intelligence Museum.
When returned the call, she spoke with who STAT
indicated that what was wanted was suggestions for points to be
made, such as the experience of other countries and interesting
or novel aspects of US intelligence. She referred him tol STAT
as a better qualified expert on such topics, but STAT
offered any assistance needed on Agency history per se. This
morning, Chief of Senate Liaison, called Ken and STAT
told him he was o par icipate, at Mr. Casey's request, in
drafting the speech. Ken has gone to Headquarters to do so.
Ken received a call from concerning an STAT
FOIA request from who is writing a STAT
biography of her father, Her initial request is STAT
for OPC material on policy directives, historical rationale,
funding, and personnel. There is, therefore, a possibility
that our History of OPC may be called for.
Ken sent the Deputy Historian of the Department of State
copies of the DCI's exchange of letters with Sen. Durenberger
regarding proposed changes in FOIA legislation.

After the article on the History Staff appeared in the
Post, Ken was contacted by the editor of The Federalist, the
newsletter of the Society for History in the Federal
Government, for a feature interview. Ken declined.
We still have no firm publication date for the DCI/DDCI
booklet. Changing the date from June to November requires
redoing the cover artwork. There will be one more final
proofing.
On 19 October, Mr. Briggs requested the loan of three
histories - on the construction of the Headquarters building,
