what action Chairman Morgan had taken on the Europe Subcommittee
request for an Agency briefing. Mr. Crawford was unable to give me
a precise answer but indicated that clearly no response is required from
the Agency. He will let me know tomorrow just what action was taken
and whether or not Representative Monagan was a part of it so I can
respond further to Monagan.
11. I I Talked with Bill Darden, Senate
Armed Services Committee staff, concerning the letter from Senator
Russell on our legislation. Mr. Darden indicated the calendar was still
very full on the Senate Committee and he thought possibly the best way
to proceed would be to have Mr. Philbin go ahead, if we could do it, on

15. I Discussed with the DD/I the problem
of meeting Senator Henry M. Jackson's deadline (4 May) for material
we are providing for the Senator's "sitrep" speech. At the DD/I's
suggestion, I contacted who is pulling the material together
and arranged for him to meet with Dorothy Fosdick at 4: 00 P. M. today
in an effort to reduce the scope of the problem so that the deadline could
be met.
16. I Advised Bill Darden, Senate Armed
Services Committee staff, of the language which the Agency, along with
NSA and with the cooperation of the Department of Justice, had inserted
in section 2511 of Title III of S. 917, the omnibus "Crime Control and Safe
Streets Act. " This bill is scheduled for S enate floor action this week.
Mr. Darden appreciated having this information in the event he should
have a query regarding it. I also alerted him to the problem posed by the
language of section VII of Senator Yarborough's bill (5.1779) and advised
him that we were working with the Senate Labor Committee in an effort
to have this language changed.
17. I Advised William Woodruff, Senate
Appropriations Committee staff, of the language which the Agency, along
with NSA and with the cooperation of the Department of Justice, had inserted
in section 2511 of Title III of S. 917, the omnibus "Crime Control and Safe
Streets Act. " This bill is scheduled for Senate floor action this week.
Mr. Woodruff thanked us for advising him about this. I also alerted him

Committee in an effort to have this language changed.
18. Jay Sourwine, Senate Internal Security
Subcommittee staff, called to say that the Subcommittee was interested
in who, according to Sourwine, has been purged by Mao
in connection with his Radio Peking activity. Sourwine said that, according
to the Associated Press, still holds a Ti. S. passport. He said he
was not requesting any information from us on this but was merely checking
with us to be sure that any possible contact which they might have with
would not create problems for us. I told Sourwine I would look

view that he woul be happy to brief the full Committee on substantive
intelligence matters as in the past and would respond if questions were
then raised. However, the Director did not feel that he wished to concentrate
a briefing on these two individuals and the effects on relationships between
the countries involved. Dr. Morgan readily grasped the picture and said
it would not be necessary for us to respond and that he would take care of
the matter. He indicated the Committee's schedule was entirely too full to
even consider a general intelligence briefing at this time.
Subsequently, Boyd Crawford was filled in on this discussion.

1. I (Dropped by the office of Russ Blandford,
Counsel, House Armed Services Committee, who said "we've got to
have" a meeting of the CIA Subcommittee soon, and thereafter the
Director would probably be asked to appear before the full Armed
Services Committee.
Overheard Mr. Blandford in a phone conversation with Secretary
Clifford during which Mr. Blandford said hearings beginning 30 April
are being led off by Secretary Clifford, Nitze, General Wheeler and
Mr. Stempler. This will be in executive session and no one else from
the Pentagon should appear. Theis.sues the Chairman wished to explore
were what problems, surprises and requirements confronted Clifford
upon assuming Defense responsibilities and how the Committee could be
helpful. However, the Chairman wished to guard against the possibility
that hearings would appear as criticism or recrimination against McNamara
regime. The Chairman also wished to focus on such matters as the
North Korean situation in connection with the Pueblo case and further
details regarding the Secretary's thinking on how to "phase down" U. S.
involvement in Vietnam.
2. I (Hand carried to James Kendall, Counsel for
the Senate Subcommittee on Preparedness Investigation, our comments

discussed with him the breakfast meeting at Headquarters for Tuesday,

courtesy but requested that the present visit be limited to discussion of
Central and South America with a half hour after breakfast with someone
from FE. A.t a later date he would like to spend the better part of a day
with us and at that time would appreciate the Director's offer for breakfast
or lunch plus appropriate briefings on the Agency. I advised the Senator
that I would report our conversation and would meet with him tomorrow.

John Reddan, Staff Director of the Hardy Defense Posture Subcommittee,

Reddan and advised him that I would relay the information in the morning.

In passing, Mr. Woodruff noted that, although there have been some
newspaper comments on Senator Hayden's retirement, there has been no
official word from his office. It does appear to be an accepted premise,
however, that he will retire this year.
Mr. Charles Ducander, House Committee on Science and Astronautics,

Committee's working draft of S. 917 which still retains the language

the bill but said it would probably be a week to ten days before the
report is completed. He indicated that there is considerable dissension
within the committee at the present time with respect to gun legislation.
6. Talked with Bob Harris, Counsel for
Senator Yarborough's special subcommittee to consider S. 1779, Yarborough's
bill to provide for the funding of overseas organizations. Mr. Harris
called in his assistant, Mr. Reid Martin. Harris and Martin said they
are hoping to start hearings on S. 1779 this Thursday. They provided me
with a handwritten list of possible witnesses.
I alerted them to the problems which section VII of this bill would
cause the Agency with regard to Both Harris
and Martin appeared to appreciate the problem and felt that the language
of section VII might possibly be adjusted to take care of this. They
also indicated that if we had any suggestions as to other witnesses who
might make a contribution to the hearings they would be happy to receive
them from us on an informal basis.
7. Briefed William Darden, Senate Armed Services
Delivered to Darden the letter to Chairman Russell from the Director
dated 22 April 1968 concerning our retirement legislation. It was Darden's
view that probably Senator Russell would go for the single item relating to
modernization of the cost-of-living. However, he will advise us of the
Senator's reactions.

be of help in this endeavor. He seemed to fully appreciate that the Agency

5. Spoke with Miss Dickinson, in the office
of Representative Louis C. Wyman (R., N.H.), concerning an FBIS ad in
the Boston papers for contract monitors in Puerto Rico. Miss Dickinson
explained that a relative wanted to know whether other than Puerto Rico
opportunities were available. After speaking with
Personnel, and FBIS, I advised Miss Dickinson that the
only positions available at this time were in Puerto Rico, but that we
would be pleased to have one of our field representatives contact her
relative in the Boston area if he had an interest in Agency employment.

He had hoped with the situation in the Far East as it is

quite possibly this situation could change. In any event, I assured
the Senator that this one had gotten most careful consideration.

6. Ruth Watts, Chief Clerk of the Senate
Permanent Investigations Subcommittee of Government Operations
Committee, called. She said that Charles H. Cromwell, III, an
investigator on the Subcommittee staff, wished to be present at the
Director's briefing of the Senate Preparedness Subcommittee next
Tuesday. She said she had been informed that this was being taken
up with Senator Stennis by Senator McClellan. She was contacting us
to be sure that the necessary clearances were being taken care of. She
said that Mr. Cromwell had a Top Secret DOD clearance but she under-
stood an additional clearance was required. I told Miss Watts I would
look into this and be in touch with her.
Talked with Jim Kendall, Senate Preparedness Subcommittee staff,
regarding Miss Watts' call. Mr. Kendall said that Cromwell had been in
touch with him about attending all of the Subcommittee's posture hearings
including the Director's briefing but Kendall had informed him that this
was a matter which would have to be taken up by Senator McClellan with
Senator Stennis. Kendall appreciates the problems involved in this. He
said he had discussed this later with Senator Stennis who informed him he
had no recollection of being approached by Senator McClellan on this.
Kendall subsequently advised the Permanent Investigations Subcommittee
staff that he has received no instructions from Senator Stennis on this.
After talking with Kendall, I advised Miss Watts that the Agency
had not received a request from either Senator Stennis or the Preparedness
Subcommittee staff regarding Mr. Cromwell's attendance at our briefing
session. I added that this was a matter between Senators McClellan and
Stennis in the first instance, and we would taken no action until a request
was received from Preparedness Subcommittee. (We are checking with the
Office of Security on Cromwell's clearance status in the event there should
be further developments on this. )
7. Picked up from William Woodruff, Senate
Appropriations Committee staff, a copy of the "Second Draft to the Committee"
on the Rusk Task Force group.

action on S. 917 (the "Safe Streets and Crime Control Act"), specifically
the reference to Senator Long's request to file a minority report limiting
the wire tap provisions of the bill to Federal law enforcement agencies
acting under court order. Mr. Bell pointed out that the Committee had
passed on these provisions (Title III) and there was no indication that this
would be reconsidered. He added, however, that Senator Long was perfectly
free to file a minority view and will probably be given an opportunity to do so.

Senator Peter Dominick, called concerning further developments in the

they are taking in the matter. Mr. Kendrick was merely checking with
us to see if we had any objection to their making public the text of their
response to the University's campus editor. I told Kendrick that as far
as we were concerned, this was a communication from the Senators to
the editor and the Agency would have no objection to their handling it
in any way the Senators' deemed appropriate. Kendrick said he felt the
Agency was perfectly justified in what they had done, as their telegram
had indicated, and as far as he was concerned they would go ahead and
make its contents available. (Mr. Goodwin was advised of these develop-
ments.)

6. Jack Ware, in the office of Senator
Gordon Allott, called me in connection with a telegram to the Senator
from a student editor at Colorado State University. The telegram
complained about CIA debriefing a faculty member after a trip abroad.
Ware stated the Senator was proposing a response indicating generally
that the Government would be derelict if it did not attempt to pick up
information from Americans who have traveled abroad. He wanted to
check us on two points in their response--(1) that there was no pre-
arrangement prior to the trip and (2) there was no passage of Government
money. After checking the facts and discussing it with the Director,
Ware was advised that their telegram was consistent with the facts. He
read the draft telegram and I made one minor correction. Ware also
indicated he was going to coordinate with Charles Kendrick, in Senator
Dominick's office, since the two Senators wished to be consistent with
one another on their responses.

House Post Office and Civil Service Committee staff, with regard to
Chairman Hanley's letter to the Director requesting written comments on

apologetic that the letter had been sent to the Agency in error and indicated
that there has been no change in the agreement that as regards CIA, he will
be pleased to meet with us on an informal basis and will be guided by the
Agency's desires concerning material for inclusion in the final report to
be issued by the Committee on completion of their study.

Investigating Subcommittee of House Armed Services Committee staff.
Colonel Garcia advised informally that the staff will be drafting, late next
week, letters to DOD and the Agency concerning the next phase of the
Subcommittee's investigation of defense policy. It is anticipated that the
Chairman will be requesting a briefing from the Director on East Europe,
Mediterranean, Near East and Middle East.
11. I In response to his call, I met with
Charles Kendrick, Administrative Assistant to Senator Peter Dominick,
concerning the telegram the Senator received from Evan J. Green, editor
of a campus newspaper at Colorado State University. The thrust of the
telegram was to the effect that "CIA Agents" were utilizing members of
the CSU staff for intelligence activities in connection with their travel
abroad on AID contracts. This, according to Green, compromised the
relationship between the faculty member and AID and degraded the integrity
of the University as an institution of higher education. Kendrick seemed
to appreciate the situation as far as the Agency was concerned in this type
of work but was requesting our guidance in the handling of their response.
I advised Kendrick that we were also in touch with Mr. Jack Ware, in the
office of Senator Gordon Allott, and gave him the sense of the suggestions
which we had made to Ware. Kendrick appreciated our assistance. He
said he would discuss this with the Senator and Mr. Ware with a view to
making the response consistent with that of Senator Allott.

1. I I Attended a hearing of the Senate Sub-
committee on Internal Security on S. 2988. Kimble Johnson, of the Civil
Service Commission, testified. He made it plain that he was speaking
personally and not for the Commission, which has not yet reached a
position on this bill. Johnson's position was that he saw no need to set up
a new agency to do what the Civil Service Commission is already doing as
this would entail great expense and loss of expertise. He applauded that
part of Title VI which endeavors to set security standards and felt this is
the main thing that is needed, not a new mechanism.
