1. I (Called Robert Hull, Department of
State, on the outcome of their executive session hearing yesterday before
the Hays Subcommittee on State De artment Organization anjL2Lei&n
-Operations, House Foreign Affairs Committee, on Daniels/McGee-type
amendments to the Foreign Service retirement system. Hull said that
the Subcommittee had approved a bill including the benefits and, to State's
surprise, the financing provisions of the Daniels/McGee bill. He said
that they had circulated the Agency's bill now pending before House Armed
Services Committee which he felt prompted their Subcommittee to make
sure they kept pace with whatever Chairman Rivers was doing for the CIA
retirement system.
2. Hand carried to Bill Woodruff, on the staff of
the Senate Appropriations Committee, a list of Soviet and Chinese Communist
military developments since 9 June 1969 in response to his request. Woodruff
said he would talk to Senator Russell about this and be back in touch with us
about a possible briefing of the Defense Subcommittee. Woodruff also advised
that he had discussed our latest withdrawal from the reserve with Senator
Russell and "it went sailing through. "
3. I Mr. Edward Kenney, Minority Counsel to
the Senate Preparedness Subcommittee, queried me about statements made
by Senator Fulbright concerning CIA operations in Laos following the Director's
briefing of the Symington Subcommittee. Kenney indicated that Senator
Thurmond is very concerned about disclosure of presumably classified
information, by Senator Fulbright in this statement. (See Memo for the
Record for details. )

Senate Internal Security Subcommittee staff, who advised that he had learned
from Cuban sources that on 14 July a band of Bolivians in the Concha Bamba
area are alleged to have killed and then burned the man who gave away Che
Guevara. It is also alleged that on~ who was supposed to have
escaped back to Cuba through Chile, was also involved. After checking

has been reported by the Bolivian press as having been executed by
Bolivian communists. There is no indication that was involved.

1. On Saturday, 26 July, Dorothy Fosdick,
Staff Director or to e u comnnttee on National Security and International
Operations, said that during the Senate ABM debate on 25 July Senator Fulbright
had claimed that U. S. defense spending exceeded by 25 or 30 percent
that of the Soviet Union. Miss Fosdick said Senator Jackson would like to
be briefed on this subject. I said I was sure we could arrange this, but
thought possibly Senator Jackson had been present at one of our earlier
presentations regarding Soviet and U. S. military expenditures. She said
if the Senator wanted to pursue the matter she would let me know.

5. Talked with Boyd Crawford, Staff Administrator
of the House ForeignAffairs Conan-dttee regarding the call we received from
Jack Sullivan, Staff Consultant, Subcommittee on National Security Poles
and Scientific Development of House Foreign Affairs Committee asking that
the Director brief Representative Zablocki's Subcommittee on the Soviet MIRV
program. After checking with Chairman Morgan, Crawford advised that the
Chairman endorsed Zablocki's request for a briefing. (See Memo for the
Record for details. )
6. Called Frank Slatinshek, Assistant Chief
Counsel, House Armed Services Committee, and informed him of the request
to appear before the Zablocki Subcommittee. Slatinshek said he personally
couldn't see how we could avoid complying, but thought Chairman Rivers and
Chief Counsel Blandford should be informed in advance in case they have any
strong objections. Since Rivers and Blandford were out of town for the weekend,
Slatinshek agreed with my suggestion that we explain to Crawford that we
normally discuss sensitive matters of this kind only before, or with the
concurrence of, our parent Subcommittees and that therefore we want to
check it out with Chairman Rivers before making a firm commitment.
7. I IMrs. Laird, Secretary to Senator Stuart- Symington,
called on behalf of the Senator to say he wanted to see me at 2:15 on Monday
28 July. (Mrs. Laird was not clear on whether this had to do with the briefing
8. Mr. Goodwin advised that according to a
television report on hearings conducted by a Subcommittee where both
Senators Tydings and Mathias were present, it was stated that some of the
pollutions of the Potomac River was being blamed on the CIA and the Pentagon.
This apparently was a statement by a witness.
9. I (Hand carried to Jay Sourwine, on the staff of the
Senate Subcommittee on Internal Security, FBIS material containing the
statements of officials of some of the lesser known Bloc countries at the
Communist Party Conference. I also left with Sourwine classified and
unclassified material on Soviet leaderships. Iwas quite specific with Sourwine
concerning the sensitivity of this material and he agreed to treat it in accordance
with the caveats I laid down.
I also advised Sourwine that we would be providinia him with some
of our material on in the 25X1
next few weeks.

SUBJECT: Request for Briefing of the National Security Policy and
Scientific Subcommittee of the House Foreign Affairs
Committee on the Soviet MIRV Program
1. Mr. John H. Sullivan, Staff Consultant for the National Security
Policy and Scientific Subcommittee of the House Foreign Affairs Committee,
called Mr. Maury today and told him that the Chairman, Mr. Zablocki, would
like the Director to brief his Subcommittee on the Soviet MIRV program either
Tuesday or Thursday of next week. Mr. Maury indicated that this raised some
problems which we would have to check with the Chairman of the full Committee,
Dr. Morgan. He also indicated that the Director was committed for another
briefing on Tuesday. Mr. Sullivan said Representative Zablocki would not be
very happy about this. Then Mr. Maury indicated that we would have to take
this up with Boyd Crawford, Staff Administrator of the full Committee.
2. I called Boyd Crawford who told me that Jack Sullivan had contacted
him after his conversation with Mr. Maury. Crawford said he wanted to advise
me for our confidential information of the arrangements made for the MIRV
hearings which Zablocki is conducting. He went on to say that a group of young
"Turks" on the full Committee decided to confront Chairman Morgan on the
MIRV issue, threatening to take measures to stop the foreign aid hearings until
MIRV hearings were conducted. According to Crawford, Morgan was primed
for this and "cut them off at the pass" by indicating he had already taken care
of this by instructing Representative Zablocki to schedule hearings on MIRVs.
3. Mr. Crawford asked me if an appearance before Zablocki's Sub-
committee would pose problems for us. I told him he was aware of our past
practice and policy with respect to briefings of this sort and was also aware
of the problems we had run into following these briefings (without being specific
I was referring to the leaks and other statements which had been made by
Foreign Affairs Committee members about the Director's briefings in the past.)

SECRET,
Mr. Crawford said he would take this up with Chairman Morgan and be in
touch with me. He added that a solution would be to have the Director brief
Chairman Zablocki privately.
4. When he called back, Crawford said Dr. Morgan feels that the
arrangements for these hearings are such that he must endorse Zablocki's
request for an Agency briefing. He added that a very strong statement was
being prepared on the subject of security leaks (citing examples) which would
be read prior to our testimony. He also said Dr. Morgan had indicated that
if any of the problem members came into the briefing the Director should
feel free to "clam up. " The date which has been suggested for the briefing
is Thursday, 31 July, at 2:00 p. m. I told Mr. Crawford that this had not
been discussed with the Director; that we would take it up with him and be
back in touch with them- -hopefully this afternoon.

1. Talked to Mr. John R. Blandford, Chief
Counsel, House Armed Services Committee, who advised that the
Chairman will want a transcript of the Director's briefing of the full
Committee on Tuesday. It was agreed that due to the content of the
briefing, however, the Agency should maintain control of the transcript
as in the past.
2. Talked to Mr. Dave Perry,
Legislative Analyst, Bureau of ie udget, and provided various items
of lnrhnie 1 information requested in his earlier call concernin
3. Received a call from. Mr. Robert
Fleming, assistant to Representative Claude Pepper (D., Fla.), who is
seeking information for a constituent and friend of Representative Pepper
concerning the possible establishment of a transmitter in the Miami area
beamed at Castro's Cuba. I referred Mr. Fleming to Mr. Jack Leahy, in
the office of the Assistant Secretary of State, Legislative Affairs, as the
appropriate source of information for an open response from Representa-
tive Pepper. Mr. Leahy has been advised.
4. Jack Sullivan, Staff Consultant, Subcommittee
on National Security Polic an _Scientific Developments House Foreign Affairs
f"Q~yyttee, called to say that Subcommittee Chairman Clement Zabiacki wished
the Director to testify before the Subcommittee on Soviet MIRV testing on either
Tuesday, 29 July, or Thursday, 31 July. I said Tuesday was out of the question
because of the Director's appearance before the House Armed Services Committee
but I would call back regarding Thursday. I said we normally preferred such
Subcommittee briefings to be cleared with the Chairman of the full Committee
and asked whether Chairman Morgan had been consulted on this. Sullivan said
this had not been done, but reluctantly agreed to take the matter up with Boyd
Crawford, Staff Administrator for the full Committee.

1. Delivered to Mr. Harry Cromer,
House Foreign Affairs u comma.ttee on Asian and Pacific Affairs staff,
in response o a request from Chairman Murphy, the following charts:
CPSU Pilot Bureau dated 10 April 1968, CPSU Central Committee dated
6 June 1968, and organization of USSR Council, of Ministers dated 1 June
1968. Mr. Cromer expressed the Chairman's appreciation for the prompt
response to his request.
2. Met with Mr. Frank Slatinshek, House Armed
Services Committee staff, and briefed him on the Sino-Soviet situation.
3. Met with Mr. John Martiny, Counsel,
House Post Office and Civil Service Committee, who advised that the postal
reform hearings will probably consume the energies of the full Committee
through July, leaving little time for Committee or Subcommittee considera-
tion of other legislation. Mr. Martiny noted that the Daniels Bill (H. R. 9825)
with some amendment on the floor of the House with regard to the 1 per cent
cost of living increase, sick leave conversion, and possible increase in cost
for members of the Legislature, will have reasonable chance of getting
through the House this year. At least at the present time he does not feel
confident of passage by the Senate during this session. He also noted that
Representative Udall's (D. , Ariz. ) bill (H. R. 11750) which was submitted
this week includes authority for a permanent civil service salary wage
adjustment commission and a 5 per cent increase in GS salary schedules
over the July increase and probably has little chance for success during the
session.
4. In response to a request from Mrs. Mary
McLaughlin, Senate Foreign Relations Committee staff, the transcript of
the Director's testimony of 23 April before the Gore Subcommittee on
International Organization and Disarmament Affairs was forwarded to the
Committee for their use during the day and returned to the Agency for safe-
keeping. The Committee has also requested the transcript be forwarded
for their use again on Monday.

8. Talked with Winston Bryant, Legislative
Assistant to Senator John L. McClellan (D. , Ark. ), on the status of the
Ervin bill, S. 782. Bryant talked to Marcia MacNaughton, on the staff of
the Subcommittee on Constitutional Rights, by telephone. The Subcommittee
is polling the members on S. 782 but has not yet received enough votes to
report the bill out. According to Bryant the FBI is pressing to regain its
full exemption also and McClellan has gone on record with the Subcommittee
as favoring a full exemption for CIA and the FBI.
9. Delivered to Mr. Harry Cromer,
House Foreign Affairs bu committee on Asian and Pacific Affairs staff,
charts on the Chinese Communist government and party structure together
with biographic sketches of the leadership. This is in response to Chairman
Murphy's request for updating of the material previously furnished to the
Subcommittee. Mr. Cromer called later in the day after delivering the
charts to the Chairman to express the Chairman's pleasure and appreciation
for the Agency's assistance provided. Although not a matter of Subcommittee
responsibility, Mr. Cromer also suggested that Chairman Murphy would
appreciate organization charts on the Soviet Union for his personal use if
such is available at the present time.

5, Called Dorothy Fosdick, Staff Director,

I would like to meet with her and Senator Henry M. Jackson to bring them
up-to-date on some recent intelligence items and also to answer any questions
that might be troubling them regarding the Agency's role in the current missile
controversy. Miss Fosdick said the Senator had just left for the coast and
might be back next week but possibly would not be back until early June. She
said if he did return next week she would be in touch with me.
6. I IIn the absence of Representative John R.
Rarick (D., La.), I spoke to his assistant, Mr. Neel Edwards, concerning
allegations by certain members of the Ukrainian community that the Agency
is supporting a new Ukrainian association. I told Edwards that the Agency
does not comment on such allegations but it might be of interest to him to
know that there is considerable factionalism in the Ukrainian group and that
it has been very common in the past that one group would accuse another of
accepting Agency support in order to discredit them. Edwards said he was

1. Mr. Frank Hand, in the Office of Secretary of
Defense, called to say a at Secretary Laird's request he was sending to
the Director a list of congressional staff clearances. Mr. Hand thought
we would be interested in this.
2. Mr. Arnold Brustin, on the staff of
Senator Gaylord Nelson . , wis.), called and suggested Thursday afternoon,
6 May, for our briefing of the Senator. After checking with the Director's
office, this was set up for 2:30 p. m. on that day.
3. Messrs. Maury andalke d with 25X1
William Woodruff, on the staff of the Senate Appropriations Committee,
regarding the Agency's problems in the retirement field generally and
with regard to congressional action on the Daniels bill in particular.
Mr. Woodruff said he could see objections to our obtaining any legislation
through the Foreign Relations and Foreign Affairs Committees (as part
of any joint effort on our part with the State Department) but was inclined
to feel that there would be no serious objection if we and the State Department
were to get an amendment to the Daniels bill in the Senate Post Office and
Civil Service Committee which would extend this benefit to both Foreign
Service and CIA. retirees. Mr. Woodruff was inclined to look with favor
on an approach which would grant to the Director the authority to adopt
administrative provisions of other retirement acts for the CIA retirement
system as he deemed those provisions appropriate. In this connection,
he mentioned he thought it would be much easier for us to obtain legislation
through the Armed Services Committee under Senator Stennis' chairmanship
than it was while Senator Russell was chairman of this Committee. We
acknowledged that this was a subject which we would have to take up with
Ed Braswell, on the Armed Services Committee staff, but expressed an
interest in and an appreciation for Woodruff's views on the subject.
