50X1 9, Met with William Woodruff, on the staff
of the Senate Appropriations Committee, and advised him that following
the Director's briefing of the combined CIA Subcommittees on Friday,
Carl Marcy, Chief of Staff, Senate Foreign Relations Committee, called
on behalf of Senator J. W. Fulbright (D. , Ark.) and asked that the Director
brief the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on the subjects covered at
the CIA Subcommitteeslbriefing. I told Woodruff that the Director would
cover the same material eliminating some of the more sensitive and
sophisticated information and visual aids. Woodruff was not happy at
this prospect but thought the Director had no choice but to respond to
Senator Fulbright's request. He added that he was sure that the Director
would be quizzed extensively on the ABM issue.
I advised Woodruff that the Agency was looking into the
feasibility of establishing within the Agency a variable annuity investment
plan similar to that established by the TVA. I emphasized to Woodruff
that this was in the investigatory stage and that should we seriously
consider such a plan it would be fully discussed with our Subcommittees
in advance. Woodruff appreciated my advising him of this and expressed
no objection.
Mr. Woodruff informed me that Senator Richard B.
(D. , Ga.) had been quite impressed with a book of unclassified page-
maps which we had provided Woodruff some months ago and Woodrui, -
if additional copies could be made for Senators Russell and Young and Ed
Braswell, of the Senate Armed Services Committee staff. The Map Library
is working on this.
Woodruff was aware of the fact that the Director had briefed the Joint
Committee on Atomic Energy on threshold countries and the Non-Proliferation
Treaty and asked if the text of the Director's statement to the JCAE could
be made available for his study. He would also like to review the text of
the Director's briefing statement to the combined CIA Subcommittees last
week. He said he would like to do this this Friday.

unable to attend the Director's briefing tomorrow. Kendrick explained that

9. Met with Mr. Frank Slatinshek, Counsel, House
Armed Services Committee, and reviewed some of the details of yesterday's
briefing. He again remarked about the enjoyment of meeting with our people
and noted that he is confident that the various legislative considerations can
be worked out without undue difficulty. I briefed him concerning
Communist intent to launch a series of attacks throughout South Vietnam
in connection with the Tet holiday period; ChiCom underground facilities at
and, a recent movement of the Soviet fighter regiment to the
Manchurian border area.
50X1 10. By way of follow-up to the conversation
with Mrs. Dunlevy, I talked with Albert A. (Peter) Lakeland,on the staff of
Senator Jacob Javits (R. , N. Y.), about a meeting between the Director and
Senator Javits on Monday at 2:00 p.m. The purpose of this meeting is to
brief the Senator on the Middle East situation. Mr. Lakeland said he had
not talked directly with the Senator about this meeting but expected to be
talking with him tomorrow. At that time he will attempt to determine the
specific areas of the Senator's interest and will let us know. He saw no
objection to the Director bringing a Middle East expert with him and added
that he would also like to attend the briefing.
Lakeland said he was not aware of any specific plan on the
Senator's part to travel to the Middle East, although, he has seriously been
considering such a trip with Senator John Sherman Cooper (R. , Ky. ) for
some time. He pointed out that,since Senator Cooper was sympathetic to
the Arabs and Senator Javits was sympathetic to the Israelis, they thought
it might be useful for the two of them to travel to the Middle East together
in view of their close friendship for one another. They feel any recommenda-
tions they might make following such a trip may be useful to the President
particularly if they can agree on some common ground for a possible solution
to the Middle East crisis. Senators Javits and Cooper have apparently
discussed the possibility of such a trip with President Nixon. Lakeland said
he would be back in touch with us after he had an opportunity to determine
from Senator Javits what his precise area of interest is regarding the
Middle East.
50X1 11. Hand carried to Majority Leader Mike
Mansfield's office an FBIS item containing a Moscow broadcast relating to
Senator Mansfield's position on the problem of hijacking of aircraft to Cuba.
