MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: Meeting with Mr. William Woodruff, Senate
Appropriations Committee Staff
1. I met with Mr. William Woodruff today in an effort t I o' _i in
any information he might wish to pass on to us concerning the Thur :; lay
budget sessions with DIA and NSA and to receive any guidance or s ., i -
gestions resulting from these sessions which might be of interest t
us when -we appear before our Ap roortations Subcommittee. M .r.
Woodruff said that the hearing with General Carter lasted approxin:_ately
two hours and the hearing with General Carroll approximately one -e;ur.
He said he thought there were a number of things that came out of t wise
sessions which would be of interest to us.
2. Mr. Woodruff began by saying that the recent debate on -i e
McCarthy resolution caused the members of the CIA Subcommittee ii=i
focus considerable attention on the Appropriation Committee's res, -asi-
bilities with regard to the intelligence community. He added that i
retrospect he had been somewhat remiss in his staff capacity it. not
delving more deeply into some of the more peripheral areas of _nte .li ence
activities. He pointed out, however, that only recently had Senator :'ussell
indicated a desire for him to assert himself more positively int 3 th. ;e
matters. We agreed that regardless of the reasons, this new e npl, i is
on the part of the Subcommittee members on their responsibilities - i cern-
ing the Agency was a healthy one. I told Mr. Woodruff that, as he ew,
we welcomed a thorough budget review, feeling that it was in the be
interests of both the Agency and the Subcommittee to have it better =:.Iormed
on the Agency's programs and activities. Mr. Woodruff said he we., aware
of this and commented that he had found it far easier to get info--ma ion on
appropriations matters from the Agency than from most other depat.nents
and agencies.
