attribution to the Agency and FBIS.
2. In checking with Margery Smith,
in the office of Senator Bartlett (D. , Alaska), I learned that Joe
Rothstein, on the staff of Senator-elect Gravel, has established

specialist in optics.
2. Miss Gladyce Sumida, in the office of

student interested in obtaining materials in preparation for a debate on
CIA. I furnished her with the names of several titles which contained
bibliographies and will send her the pamphlet on the Agency. She thanked
us for the help and said this appeared to satisfy the requirement.
3. Returned to Russ Blandford, House Armed
Services Committee staff, a weapon which he had asked us to look over
for him. He was very satisfied with the attention given to this.

5. I I Received a call from Edward Bauser,
Executive Director, Joint Committee on Atomic Energy Committee, who
said that Senator Pastore had expressed concern to him about the U. S.
agreement with Romania last Thursday having to do with peaceful uses
of atomic energy. Bauser recalled Mr. Maury's conversation with George
Murphy last week on Romania and he was interested in knowing the status
of that situation. I told him this had quieted down somewhat since Mr. Maury's
conversation with Murphy. Bauser said he was preparing a letter to State or
AEC regarding the Romanian agreement and might be back in touch with us
when this letter was in draft form.
6. Talked to James Kendall, Chief Counsel,
Senate Preparedness Investigation Subcommittee, and made tentative
arrangements for him to visit the Agency for luncheon and briefings next

1. I I Called Chairman L. Mendel Rivers, House
Armed Services Committee; Mr. J. Russell Blandford, Chief Counsel,
House Armed Services Committee; Mr. Robert Michaels, Staff Assistant,
House Appropriations Committee; Mr. Edward Braswell, Professional
Staff Member, Senate Armed Services Committee; and Miss Dorothy
Fosdick, Staff Director, Subcommittee on National Security and Inter-
national Operations, to inform each that concern regarding Romania, on
which I briefed them on 22 November, had subsided.
2. I I In the course of the above mentioned
phone conversation with Chairman Rivers, he said that it occurred to him
that the recent hijacking of American aircraft might have been inspired by
Castro as a means of clandestinely obtaining U. S. currency. I said I was
aware of no evidence to this effect but would investigate and confirm.
3. Scott Cohen, on the staff of Senator
Charles H. Percy (R. , Ill. ), called to say that, in connection with his
appointment to the Committee on Government Operations, Senator Percy
has asked Cohen to contact various "foreign policy agencies" to arrange
briefings for his personal staff members so they might become more
knowledgeable in this field. He said the Senator had specifically mentioned
CIA. I suggested to Cohen that he exclude us from this kind of arrangement
for a variety of reasons (which Cohen understood) but added that we still
stood ready to brief the Senator or him on specific situations more within
our area of responsibility. Cohen thanked me and said he agreed completely
with our position. (See Memo for the Record for details).
4. In response to a request from Russ Blandford,
on the staff of the House Armed Services Committee, of
SOD and I picked up a weapon from Blandford so that we might examine it and
assure that it was in operating condition.

In response to her request, hand carried
25X1
to Judith Spahr, on the staff of the Subcommittee on National Security and
International Operations, a copy of the FBIS publication containing the text
of the Brezhnew speech given earlier this month.
6.
Mr. Vincent J. Augliere, on the staff of
25X1
the Subcommittee on Foreign Operations and Government Information, called
concerning a request that Chairman Moss had received from a group of
college students who will be debating other colleges. Augliere would like a
reference to an official or authoritative statement which would indicate that
CIA does not interfere in the internal affairs of foreign governments without
the approval of appropriate authority, such as the President, the National
Security Council or the Secretary of State. Augliere felt this was a point
which would come up again and again in student debates and felt it would be
useful to put the matter to rest with an authoritative response if this could
be done. I told him I would look into this and would be in touch with him.
7. Dr. James Lucier, on the staff of Senator 25X1
Strom Thurmond (R. , S. C. ), called and asked if we had any printed material
which contained a description of the official functions of this Agency which
he might pass on to a constituent. I suggested that we provide him with several
copies of the Agency pamphlet. Lucier said this sounded like precisely what he
needed and copies are being sent to him.
8. Received a call from Mr. Herb Ressing who 25X1
identified himself as being with the President's Commission on Pennsylvania
Avenue. He said he was interested in speaking with someone who was most up-
to-date on aerial photography of downtown Washington, D. C. I told Mr. Ressing
this was not a responsibility of CIA and (after checking with Mr. Goodwin)
suggested that he direct his inquiry to the office of Mr. Phil C. Goulding,
Deputy Assistant Secretary in the Office of the Secretary of Defense (Public
Affairs). Mr. Ressing thanked me for this information.

1. I I Met with Chairman L. Mendel Rivers, of House
Armed Services Committee, in his office and briefed him on the conclusions
of the special Watch Committee meeting of 21 November regarding indications
of a possible move against Romania by Warsaw Pact forces. Chairman
Rivers expressed interest and appreciation and asked that he be kept informed
of any further significant developments over the weekend.
In an ensuing chat, Chairman Rivers, who was in a relaxed and
talkative mood, spoke of the high standing of the Agency with his Subcommittee,
his serious concern regarding growing Soviet capabilities and his uncertainty
over Soviet intentions, and the prospects of the Defense Department and the
Intelligence Community under the Nixon Administration. (See Memo for
Record.)
2. I I Briefed Mr. J. Russell Blandford, Chief Counsel, 25X1
House Armed Services Committee, on the conclusions of the special
Watch Committee meeting of 21 November regarding a possible move against
Romania by Warsaw Pact forces. Mr. Blandford said he would like to be
kept informed of any major developments in this matter over the weekend.
3. Briefed Mr. Ed Braswell, Professional Staff 25X1
Member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, on the conclusions of the
special Watch Committee meeting regarding the Warsaw Pact threat to Romania.
During our ensuing conversation, Mr. Braswell asked a number of questions
about what was going on in the Communist Bloc. He explained he had not
previously followed these matters closely, but with the departure from the
Subcommittee staff of Mr. William Darden he wished to try to "keep on top
of things" until Congress reconvenes and the Committee staff situation is
clarified.
4. Briefed Robert Michaels, Staff Assistant of House 25X1
Appropriations Committee, on the conclusions of the special Watch Committee

6. During a chance encounter in the Capitol with
George Murphy, of the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy staff, Murphy
asked about the afternoon press account of the situation regarding Romania.
I filled him in on the highlights (as set forth in the special Watch Committee
report). He then reminded me of his continuing interest in the
cases. (See Memo for the Record. )
7. Louise Ellis, secretary to Philip Kelleher
of the House Armed Services Committee staff, said Mr. Kelleher, who is
out of town, had asked her to query us regarding the Periscope item in the
7 October Newsweek about a secret Soviet shipyard for nuclear submarines,
which was roofed over to escape overhead reconnaissance.
8. I I Judith Spahr, staff of the Subcommittee on
National Security and International Operations, called and requested a copy
of the Brezhnev speech which was given sometime mid- November. FBIS
is sending a copy to us.

1. I I At the suggestion of the Executive Director
I raised with Robert Michaels, Staff Assistant to the House Appropriations
Committee, the possibility that he and William Woodruff, Assistant Chief
Clerk of the Senate Appropriations Committee, might visit Headquarters
around mid-December for a preliminary and informal discussion of our
FY 1970 budget. Mr. Michaels said he thought this was a useful idea,
and it was agreed that upon Mr. Woodruff's return to Washington in about
a week I would call him to set a firm date. Mr. Michaels commented that
on occasion in the past the Bureau of the Budget had not looked favorably
on informal discussions of this kind between Legislative and Executive
representatives, but that in this case he felt there would be no problem.

had been favorably received and given wide coverage. She said she wanted
to thank everyone in the Agency on her own behalf and on behalf of Senator
Jackson for the assistance we had provided. She said Senator Jackson

doubted that time would permit him to get together with us before his

year.
I took this opportunity to raise with Mr. Darden the problem which
would be created for the Agency by the proposed Bureau of the Budget bulletin
calling for submission of department and agency reports on research contractors.
These reports are to be submitted to the Democratic Policy Committee for
Senator Mansfield. He added that the pressure for this information had
originated with the staff of that committee of which Senator Mansfield is
Chairman. Darden said he appreciated our problem and suggested that we
be in touch with Bill Woodruff on this on his return from his present overseas
travel. Darden said Woodruff had done some work on this for the Department

1. I I Talked to Mr. Robert Michaels,
House Appropriations Committee staff, who advised that he has not yet
received any information or advice from Representative Glenard Lipscomb
about his trip to Europe, tentatively planned for departure from Washington
on 18 November. Mr. Michaels does not know whether Representative
Lipscomb will be returning to the city before his departure, and until he
receives advice from Representative Lipscomb, does not know any require-
ment for assistance or briefing during the trip.
2. Miss Eleanor Merrick, in the office of
Representative Lloyd Meeds, called and requested, for a constituent, a
copy of the Gazetteer which is put out by CIA. " After checking, Miss
Merrick was referred to the Army Map Service.
4. The Director's office advised of a call from 25X1
Senator Ernest Hollings (D. , S. C. ) requesting a briefing on Vietnam at
10:45 on 15 November, for which Mr. George Carver, SAVA, was alerted.

5. Spoke with Mr. David Muchow concerning
BOB Circular A-19 requirements for advising on Agency legislative programs.
He appreciated our being in touch with him on this and will be looking forward
to our written report.
Mr. Muchow explained that his specific area within BOB was foreign
affairs legislation and in that connection made reference to his understanding
that Senator Fulbright had been making inquiries concerning the Agency's
funds for counterinsurgency programs or social science research. I told
him that I did not know of any outstanding problems or requirements with
Senator Fulbright in these areas, but that I would be glad to check it further.
Mr. Muchow said he would appreciate this explaining his general interest
in the interests of the Chairman of Senate Foreign Relations. .

2. Called on William Darden, Chief of Staff,
Senate Armed Services Committee, to deliver a letter from the Director
congratulating him on his appointment to the Court of Military Appeals
and thanking him for past cooperation with the Agency. In discussing the
future of our Subcommittee, Mr. Darden said he thought Senator Russell,
while relinquishing the chairmanship of the Armed Services Committee,
would retain his membership and that in any event Senator Russell would not
favor including on the Subcommittee Senator Sam Ervin who is next in
seniority. Mr. Darden said he would expect that the vacancy on the Agency
Appropriations Subcommittee would be filled by Senator Allen Ellender.
Darden had no information on his own replacement on the Armed Services
Committee staff, but speculated that Senator Russell, as new chairman of
our Appropriations Subcommittee, might wish to hold joint sessions of our
Armed Services and Appropriations Subcommittees and look to William
Woodruff, Assistant Chief Clerk of Senate Appropriations Committee, to
handle the staff work for both Subcommittees.
3. Delivered to Miss Dorothy Fosdick
and Colonel Haaken Lindjord, Senate Subcommittee on National Security
and International Operations staff, a French and German translation of
Senator Jackson's address to be given before the North Atlantic Assembly
and discussed the translations with them. Both Miss Fosdick and Colonel
Lindjord were very pleased with the phraseology used in both translations
and expressed appreciation on behalf of the Senator for the excellence of the
work and the timely return of the translations to them.
4. As a follow up to yesterday's conversation, met 25X1
with Mr. Vincent Augliere, Staff Director, House Government Information
and Foreign Operations Subcommittee, and reviewed with him for the record
After brief review Mr. Augliere 25X1
agreed that the Airgram should not be forwarded by the Department with
the other material requested by the Committee relating to the 25X1

passing that the Department files in question are under review by the Committee
staff in preparation for a Committee trip to Indonesia after Thanksgiving.
Mr. Augliere also noted that it would not be necessary for the Department to
note that the document had been omitted in transmittal of the file to the
Committee.
