15. Determined that Mr. Tom McEvoy, presently
on the stall o ena.or Joseph Tydings, was the individual who had initiated
the letter to the Director I also learned that the 25X1
Senator was not aware of e constituent inquiry that prompted Mr. McEvoy
to write the letter. After very light discussion with Mr. McEvoy, it was
determined that a meeting with Senator Tydings on this would not be necessary.
However, Mr. McEvoy was assured that should the Senator become interested
in this, we would be glad to go over the matter with him personally.

he and Senator Russell were going to make floor statements today on the
current resolution before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Senator
Saltonstall wished me to drop by his office to go over a few points. This I
did. He merely wanted to review certain points that he planned to make
during his short speech. I saw no problem with any of the points although
his actual floor statement covered many other topics.
17. At the request of the Director, there was left with
Mr. Darden, Senate Armed Services Committee staff, a copy of the Agency's
internal analysis of the New York Times series. I explained to Mr. Darden
the background and that his responsibility was solely to be custodian because
of special classification of certain parts.
18. What apparently had been planned as very short
remarks by Senators Russell and Saltonstall on the floor turned into a full-
fledged two-hour debate. Speaking against the resolution in Senate Foreign
Relations were Senators Russell, Stennis, Saltonstall, Symington, Milton
Young, Lausche, and Holland, briefly. Those answering were Fulbright and
McCarthy.
