Warner met with Sill Woodruff, Senate Appropriations Committee staff,
concerning the PAT program costs. Apparently Woodruff wished to be
prepared in the event Senator Ellender pushes him on the CIA costs for
this program. Woodruff would prefer to indicate that any CIA costs are
in the black and therefore he, Woodruff, would have to take it up with
Senator Russell first. Woodruff was assured that there would be no
unclassified statements as to CIA costs which would be on an authorized
basis.

meeting with Mr. Helms for briefing on the "Vietnamese Communists'

possible times for meeting with Mr. Helms, Mr. Jordan advised that
if we do not hear from him by the end of the day, that we could consider
the scheduling would have to go over to next week. Since Mr. Jordan
did not call during the day, I plan to meet with him again the first thing
Monday and will attempt a possible scheduling for Tuesday morning.

arrived at eight o'clock and left at about eleven o'clock. The Director
gave a general briefing on the Agency; following that Smith covered the
Sino-Soviet rift and Communist China generally. Thereafter, Carver
and Colby discussed the Vietnam situation in detail. The Senator was
obviously anxious to hear as much about the Southeast Asia situation as he
could and was apologetic about taking the time of the individuals. He
reviewed the questions he had written out to make sure he had covered
all the topics. He was most appreciative and indicated that at some time
he would like to hear more on the Soviet missile and space programs.

met with Representative Ogden Reid (R. , N. Y.) and provided
a short briefing on Communist China, Viet Nam, and Thailand. Mr.
Reid was most appreciative.
10. Met with Mr. Philip Kelleher of
the House Armed Services Committee, who advised that he had again
called the chairman during the day concerning the Agency bill and its` ,
handling on the floor, but that no determination has been made con- V
cerning the handling of the bill on the floor. Mr. Kelleher seems to
feel that he has pressed his suit on this matter to the limit with the
chairman.
11. I was in contact with Senator Mike Mansfield's
office throug out t . e ay and was advised by the Senator's office early
in the evening that Senator Mansfield will defer to Senator Richard Russell
as to arrangements of the time and ,place of briefing by the Director on
the "Vietnamese Communists' Will to Persist. " It was noted that
Senator J. W. Fulbright is still out of town and in consequence not
available .

2, Met with Mr. Phil Kelleher, House Armed
Services Committee, who advised that our bill was brought to Chairman
Philbin's attention yesterday but that no information is available as yet as
to the handling of H. R. 16306. As soon as the Chairman has determined
the handling with the leadership, he will advise.

Appropriations Committee, who advised that there is a possibility for
Wednesday of a meeting of the CIA Subcommittee. No final determination
will be made, however, until Tuesday.
4, Met with Mr. Benny Kass, Senate Subcommittee
on Administrative Practices & Procedures, and reviewed with him the
proposed Agency response to the Chairman's letter of 11 August. It is Mr.
Kass' opinion that the letter is satisfactory, and he. also noted that it is
helpful that the Committee will be able to publish the Agency response.
5, Met with Mr. John Martiny, House
Post Office and Civil Service Committee, who advises that the rumor
concerning a Committee study of the 1962 Federal Salary Reform Act has
probably been fostered by various statements of union officials concerning
upgrading of the postal service and going away from the comparability
concept. The Committee, however, is undertaking no such study and none
is planned that he knows of.
