13.1 JGO) Met with Senator Gale McGee (D., Wyo.)
and gave him an unclassified outline of the "Rural Construction Cadre
and Operations in South Vietnam". Senator McGee noted the fact that
the material had been redone from the previous document and expressed
his appreciation. He will relate this as a Government program and will
not attribute the information to the Agency.
14. JGO) I had occasion to talk with Senator
Brewster in the corridor an e subject of the Senator's enjoyable visits
to the headquarters came up. I took the opportunity to suggest that if
the Senator's schedule would allow, possibly he would come out to the
Agency again next week or the week following. He thanked me very much
and asked me to see what I could schedule with his assistant, Mr. John
Sullivan.

through Congres. Such government-paid vacations are
something even Senators can't take without a good junket
and a bad conscience.
The vacation bill was one of three curious items that
c?anie to light yesterday invoking the care and feeding of
modern undercover agcnt?. The other two were revealed
in court pipers. In Baltimore, the CIA took- the unusual"
step of publicly identifying one of its agents. in order to
defend him in a slander suit. That's rare affection- on the
part of the CIA. In Washington, a 25-year-old bachelor
who was dismissed from the FBI for harboring a woman
in his apartment overnight sued FBI director J. Edgar
Hoover for invasion of privacy. That's rare temerity for a
former FBI-man.
Though the CIA. doesn't like to talk about it, its
secret agents are hard at work all over the world,, from the

J generally adopts a "Who, Me?" attitude. But CIA lawyers. have admitted in Federal District Court, \Vashington,
that Juri Raus, who passes as a $10,000-a-rear engineer in t
the Bureau of Public 49,ads, doubles as a CIA agent. They
made the admission after Raus was sued for slander by a "
man accused of being a Soviet agent. The CIA" lawyers
contended that the suit should be dismissed because if
Raus committed any slander it was an official act under
orders from his superiors. The case is pending.
The suit against Hoover was filed by Thomas H.
Carter, a former clerk in the FBI's fingerprinting division,
r-'Who was dismissed for "conduct unbecoming an employe
of this bureau" after agents investigated' the fact that he
had allowed his girl friend to stay in his apartment over-
night;-Carter asked the Federal District Court to reinstate- ? -
.him in his job, contending that the dismissal was arbitrary
and capricious.
