Acting Chief Counsel, House Armed Services Committee, the holddown
on briefings regarding Cienfuegos. I said that in fact, so far as I knew,

mistaken, and indicated that he had turned up a good deal of information
from other sources.

Subcommittee on National Security and luternational Operations, said

When I gave Zafra the substance of our letter on the retirement
legislation, he brought up the question of a possible increase in Agency
and employee contributions in order to maintain our retirement fund. I
told Zafra that I was not fully conversant with the fiscal details involved,
but asked if this issue had been raised in connection with similar legislation
accorded the State Department last year. I also said it had been my under-
standing that the funding issue was not a direct result of our substantive
provisions and again suggested that OMB clear those provisions and resolve
our funding question when that issue was resolved for the other retirement
systems. Zafra said the clearance of the Foreign Service provisions had
been an error as far as lie was concerned and was one in which he was
''embarrassed institutionally. " He said he would track down our letters
and review them.
6. Per arrangements made by Mr. Miller, picked
up from Jay Sourwine, Senate Internal Security Subcommittee Staff,
the Diary of the Katyn Forrest Massacre.
