subsequently in greater detail to Admiral Taylor.

mainly with the proper appraisal of what was going on, I gave this to
Mr. Bates and to Mr. Blandford.

1. I IIn response to a call from Mr. Robert
Lochrie, Administrative Assistant to Representative Paul Rogers (D. , Fla.
I picked up from his office a copy of Volume 1, Number 1, of a newspaper
titled FLORIDA FREE PRESS, dated January 23, 1968. This newspaper,
which appears to be what might be called an "underground" newspaper
carries a two column, one-eighth page, Central Intelligence Agency recruiting
ad on page two. A by-line article on page five indicates in part, "The
FLORIDA FREE PRESS--which is always hard up for coins--appeals to
the CIA for a nice fat subsidy. In consideration, we will plan to run a
recruitment ad in every FFP--just like the one we are running now. "
Mr. Lochrie's secretary advised that he wanted to bring this to our attention.
As Mr. Lochrie was away from the office during the remainder of the day,
I plan to talk to him in the morning. Office of Personnel has been notified.

Appropriations Committee staff, who advised that at least one and possibly
two additional members of the Subcommittee may desire transportation on

all possible channels.

Representative Wiley Mayne (R., Iowa) on a tour of the Signal Center, FMSAC,
the Operational Center, and the Security Alarm System. Mayne was very much
impressed with what he saw and thought a more abbreviated tour, which would
not take as much time from as many people, would be extremely beneficial
in showing members of Congress some of the real work of the Agency. He
had no objection to the length of the tour which he took, but was aware of the
fact that it diverted too many people to be practical for any substantial number
of members.

5. Senators Milton Young and Charles

ready to brief the Chairman or be of whatever assistance possible.
Mr. Darden indicated that the Chairman had been briefed by the Pentagon
but he would pass the message.
7. Talked with Pat Holt, Senate
Foreign Relations Committee staff, about his recent trip. In discussing
Chile, Mr. Holt indicated there were varying views on the seriousness
of the situation but the general climate of the times and economy moves
were more involved in the probable difficulties in further aid.
8. Talked with Mr. Michaels, House
Appropriations Committee staff, who indicated the Chairman would like
the Subcommittee to visit the Agency for breakfast and briefing on the
31st. Mr. Michaels stated that current planning was for all morning
and possibly longer. He had no suggestions as to content except he
thought a general discussion of the budget would be useful as well as a
visit to the "tank."

the Agency's participation in the overall Federal effort against organized
crime. I explained to Matan that the Agency, by statute, has no police or
internal security powers, but that as a by-product we do participate to some
degree in this effort. Matan understood and said he originally had not queried
the Agency but had done so after being informed by the Department of
Justice that they received information from the Agency on this subject. I
noted to Matan that we do have some problems in replying because at least
some of the information would be classified. He suggested that we reply
in two parts, one classified and one unclassified. Matan said there is no
urgency in furnishing a reply, but they would appreciate if they could have
it within the next two or three weeks.
2. I IMet with Mr. Frank McNamara, Director,
and Robert Mehaffey, Research Analyst, House Un-American Activities
Committee, and Mr. McNamara determined that the Committee should not

Government Operations Committee staff, and discussed with him Senator
Dirksen's bill to establish a Central Security Office. Nobleman, who is
handling the bill, said that he himself would have to give the bill greater
study and that they are just in the process of obtaining executive agency
comments. He feels there will be hearings this session, although which
subcommittee will handle it has not yet been determined by the Chairman.
The genesis of the bill is the 1957 report by the Commission on Government
Security.

pursuant to his request at the briefing on 23 January, Miss Von Beek,

this time was confirmed with Miss Von Beek.

the United States for mass naturalization proceedings. If this should occur
he would like to be invited to speak to the group if possible. I told him I felt 25X1
