Friday - 28 March 1969
1. (Secret - JMM) Talked with Bill Woodruff, Assistant Chief Clerk,
Senate Appropriations Committee, regarding the handling of Senator Symington's
request for information on the Agency budget which he could use to refute
distorted information on this subject. Woodruff agreed such information
should not be surfaced in any form, but recommended we should not try to
put all the responsibility on Senator Russell for the holddown; Woodruff
would prefer we take the position with Symington that budget figures
are especially sensitive for many reasons, that all of our Subcommittees
have always insisted on it being very closely held; and that once this issue
is opened up there is no way to draw the line on further revelations.
2. (Unclassified - JMM) Assistant Secretary of State for Congressional
Relations William B. Macomber told me today that his office has not been
called upon to take any action on the Hill regarding the Ervin bill, although
there is some concern in the Department about the problems which it would
create.
3. (Secret - JMM) Met with Senator Stuart Symington in response
to his query about the Agency budget. The Senator explained he wanted to
say something to refute the recent seriously exaggerated public statements
on the subject. I pointed out the problems this would cause and the Senator
agreed to defer any action until he had a chance to raise the matter with the
Director at a future formal meeting of the Agency Subcommittees. See
Memo for Record for details.
4. (Internal Use Only - LLM) Called Representative John Monagan
(D., Conn.) in Waterbury, Connecticut, at the request of his Administrative
Assistant, Joe Donahue, concerning an individ re-presenting himself as an
Agency employee. Mr. Monagan said he knew personally, 25X1
was sure we would not employ him, but felt that he should check an wa . Later,
as agreed with the Congressman and based on the advice of I 25X1
advised Joe Donahue thati as not our employee, but we knew of him
through similar misrepresentations by him and past contacts with us. Donahue
received this in good humor saying that he, too, had known Ifor some 25X1
time and that if he was one of our employees the Congressman would indeed
lose his high esteem for the Agency. I told him I had gotten the same impression
from Mr. Monagan.

5. (Secret - JMM) Met with Senator Margaret Chase Smith who had
recently mentioned to the Director that she still had some questions in mind
about the Soviet bomber problem following a recent Agency briefing on the
subject. I told her we would be glad to meet with her privately and try to
answer any remaining questions she might have. She said she might call
on us for this in the next week or two. See Memo for Record for details.
In response to Senator Smith's questions regarding recent developments
I briefed her on:
a. recent failure of Soviet SL-12 Mars probe;
b. Soviet naval vessels being supplied to India;
c. large scale Soviet naval exercises in North Atlantic;
d. intensified Soviet satellite reconnaissance;
e. fragmentary evidence of stresses in Soviet leadership.
6. (Confidential - JMM) Met with Senator Harry F. Byrd and explained
to him, in response to an inquiry he had received from Carter Glass, III,
General Manager of the Lynchburg newspapers, that 1: 1
ad never been associated wi the Agency. I o
Senator Byrd we didn't normally respond to outside inquiries regarding people
associated with us, but wanted him to know the facts in this case.
I also mentioned briefly to Senator Byrd some facts regarding the
Washington Observer Newsletter, which apparently had triggered Glass' query.
Senator Byrd volunteered the comment that Glass, although a personal friend,
had gotten "pretty far out on a limb, " even to the point of alleging that the
Associated Press had fallen under Communist influence.
In response to Senator Byrd's question, I said that we had no reliable
information on the reasons behind the Soviet failure to complete the originally
planned ABM installations around Moscow. The Senator said he still had not
made up his mind regarding the Safeguard issue, but present indications were
that the Senate would support the Administration position.

8. (Secret - JGO) Met with Mr. J.R. Blandford, Chief Counsel,
House Armed Services Committee, and reviewed with him responses,
for the record, to the questions of Representative Dickinson concerning
the number of MIG 21s the Soviets have supplied to Cuba and shipment of
SAMs into North Vietnam. Mr. Blandford will review the response to
Representative Dickinson.
I briefed Mr. Blandford on the Soviet reconnaissance activities
in the Chinese border area, Soviet recon satellite activities during March,
Soviet space activity and Soviet military equipment to India to include OSA
Class guided missile patrol boats.
9. (Confidential - JGO) Met with Representative Glenard P.
Lipscomb (R. , Calif.) who advised that he had a letter in his office that
is of some interest to him. He would like to discuss it the first of the
week. It was also agreed that he would review the Agency responses to
his questions concerning shipment of combat materials to North Vietnam,
and Soviet, Eastern European, and Communist Chinese economic and
military aid to North Korea at that time. Mr. Lipscomb requested an
updating of the unclassified paper that was provided for his use last
September on the "Soviet threat. " This is an area that he feels is receiving
improper emphasis on both the floor of the Congress and in the American
press. I advised that I would be pleased to relay his request.
10. (Secret - JGO) Met with Mr. Robert Michaels, House
Appropriations Committee staff, and advised that Representative Yates
had called the Director and would probably be calling Chairman Mahon
concerning Soviet deployment of ABMs around Moscow. The Director
advised Mr. Yates that this is classified information but that Chairman
Mahon and Chairman Rivers have been briefed. Mr. Michaels advised
that he would pass this on to the Chairman.
Mr. Michaels requested the Agency's current forecast on the
world chromium market. Various items of testimony presented to the
Chairman concerning the Rhodesian mines have given rise to a more
than mild interest on the Chairman's part as to supplies available to the
United States.
As follow-up to his request earlier in the week, I provided
a copy of the Soviet projected missile forces, 1969 - 1978. I briefed Mr.
Michaels on the military equipment supplied to India by the Soviets which
was expected to include OSA Class guided missile patrol boats during the
next year.

Mr. Bruce Merkle, Administrative Assistant to Representative William

4. (Internal Use Only - JGO) Met with Mr. Ralph Devlin, and
separately with Mr. Charles Johnson, House Post Office and Civil Service
Committee staff, concerning Subcommittee action on the Daniels bills
(H. R. 770). It was learned that consideration was given during Sub-
committee executive discussion of the bill to the possible need for similar
amendment or change in other Federal retirement systems. Their
determination was apparently reached that agencies and authority under
Foreign Affairs and Armed Services Committees appropriately should be
handled by them. The Committee staff is in the process of finalizing
the language for inclusion in the amended portions of the bill.
5. (Unclassified - JMM) Talked with Charles Johnson, Staff
Director, House Post Office and Civil Service Committee, regarding the

present version to take care of Agency requirements. See Memo for

The letter has not as yet come to Braswell's attention but he said he would
contact me if it did. Braswell asked how things were going on the Ervin
bill and I brought him up-to-date mentioning the Director's second letter to
Senator Ervin and his conversation with Senator Russell. Braswell said
again that our best bet was to contact members of Senator Ervin's Subcommittee
especially Senator McClellan since he is a member of our CIA Subcommittee.

the Committee with transcripts of the Director's briefings to the Committee

He thanked me for calling however.

Committee on Atomic Energy, called to say that the Atomic Energy
Commission had suggested that they get in touch with us to obtain a copy
of a "report on the Moscow ABM system dated September 1968 and
having something to do with DIA." I told Kimmel I would look into this
and be back in touch with him. I talked wit of OSR, who
said it would be difficult to identify this document without further informa-
tion and at his suggestion I have contacted Mr. Andy Summers in Doctor
Riegle's office at AEC in an effort to determine the specifics of the
documents and how AEC happened to make this suggestion to the JCAE
staff.
2. (Confidential - GLC) In connection with my earlier meeting
with him on the subject of student revolt, (see Journal of 11 March 1969).
I advised Robert McCaughey, Administrative Assistant to Senator Karl
Mundt, that I had been unable to find out anything about the incident which
he mentioned supposedly involving a student who was arrested in New York
and found to have in his possession a check drawn on a Chinese Communist
bank. I asked McCaughey if he could provide any additional details on
this and he said he could not. I advised McCaughey further that we would
be in touch with him early next week to have someone come up and talk
with the Senator about the international aspects of student unrest. In
response to my query, he indicated that representatives of the FBI had
briefed Senator Mundt on this subject several days ago.

of State, and advised that we substantially followed the practices and policies
of the Department in the administration of home leave and like the Department,
we assume, exceptions are made. Hull said he was not sure how frequent
exceptions are granted from the 15 days home leave rule, but noted that
exceptions are provided for by regulations. I reminded Hull that this was
for Mr. Mace's background use only and suggested that our Director of
Personnel would be pleased to discuss the matter further with Mr. Mace if
he should desire. See Journal of 20 March. Results of this conversation
were relayed to Mr. Fisher. 25X1

a rundown of the number of our appearances before various committees and
subcommittees thus far this year. Trueheart indicated some surprise at the
number of Subcommittee members to whom we regularly report, and the
number and scope of our appearances before other committees. He did not
explain the purpose of his inquiry other than to remark that it was "not official.
He commented that our stock on the Hill seems to be particularly good these

2. (Secret - GLC) After conferring with FE Division, in
view of the complications that were being incurred in sorting out the
problems concerning the inquiries received by State Department from
Senator Dodd's office on a sensitive Agency case, I met with David
Martin, on the Senator's staff, and learned that he had initiated the
inquiry to State. I told Martin that we were working with the State Depart-
ment in preparing an answer and that he should hear from them shortly.
(See Memorandum for the Record for details. )
Martin mentioned the project that he has been working on in
Senator Dodd's behalf, concerning a proposal for the convening of a
"National Student Conference on Vietnam and World Freedom. " Martin
said he had obtained some financial and student support for this program,
which also had the blessing of General Ed Lansdale. Martin provided me
with a Memorandum on the subject and said he would appreciate any
suggestions which our people might have concerning this proposal. This
is being sent to FE Division for study.

3. (Confidential - JGO) Met with Mr. Frank Slatinshek, Counsel,
House Armed Services Committee, and reviewed with him, in part,
testimony received by the Committee that appeared to have been taken
from an Agency blind memorandum that was furnished for Committee
information on Monday, 17 March. (See Memorandum for the Record for
details.)
Discussed with Mr. Slatinshek the level of classification of the
Director's testimony before the Pike Subcommittee and suggested that
the Agency would provide safekeeping for the Committee's copies at such
time as their immediate use is no longer required by the Committee. Mr.
Slatinshek indicated he thought this would be quite acceptable to the
Chairman. As to the question of ultimate publication of an unclassified
report of the Subcommittee's hearings, Mr. Slatinshek requested, if
possible, an unclassified summary of the Director's testimony for
inclusion in the hearing report. After discussion at some length, Mr.
Slatinshek conceded that if a meaningful summary could not be provided
by the Agency, that the report would need to show at a minimum that the
Director appeared and provided testimony which was classified.
I briefed Mr. Slatinshek on the MIG-19 and MIG-20 aircraft
supplied to the North Vietnamese by the Chinese Communists and the
Soviet Union.
4. (Confidential - JGO) Met with Mr. Robert Michaels, House
Appropriations Committee staff, and briefed him on the MIG-19 and

(R. , Iowa) and discussed briefly with him an anonymous letter relating

6. (Internal Use Only - LLM) Spoke with Mr. Robert Hull, Depart-

on comparable benefits if any or all of the Daniels bill amendments (increasing

so far as this Agency was concerned each of these criteria is carefully

Harper, of the Subcommittee's staff, on the question of staff personnel
attendance at CIA briefings and follow up material requested in answer
to written questions submitted to Mr. Duckett.
On the first question, Harper said he felt this issue had
resolved itself since members of the personal staffs of the senators
had been excluded from yesterday's briefing. Since this is an ad hoc
Subcommittee which has no further plans for Agency briefings, the
question should not arise again in this context.
On the matter of answers to the written questions, Harper
agreed with our proposal which was to submit two versions: one classified
and one unclassified. The classified response will be retained under
Colonel Harper's control while the unclassified version can be given to
members, such as Senator Stephen Young, for their own use without
attribution to the Agency.

Woodruff said he had heard nothing from NSA about the bill this year and
wondered if they still had problems with it. I assured him that NSA was
as concerned about the bill as we were but in view of their consideration
on the Pueblo matter, had probably been unable to pursue the S. 782 problem 25X1

continue to be troublesome on this and that it may become necessary to be
absolutely blunt with him on this matter.

1. (Unclassified - GLC) Kathy Nelson, in the office of Senator
Stuart Symington (D., Mo.), called to say that the Senator's Foreign Relations
Subcommittee staff members had decided that they had no real need for the
Agency publication which she had discussed with me previously.
3. (Unclassified - GLC) Colonel Everett Harper, on the staff of the
Senate Preparedness Subcommittee, called and asked if someone (not
necessarily the Director) would come up on Monday, the 17th, at 9:00 a. m.
to brief the ad hoc Subcommittee on Research and Development on Soviet
research and development capabilities and trends in the weapons and
defensive fields. This Subcommittee is one of several groups appointed by
Senator Stennis in an effort to involve more members of the full Committee
in Committee business. The Subcommittee is composed of Senators McIntyre
(Chairman), Stephen Young, Harry Byrd, Murphy, and Brooke. This Sub-
committee is trying to get up-to-date in the research and development field
prior to and in anticipation of the military posture hearings. I told Colonel
Harper that I would check on this and contact him as soon as possible.
4. (Confidential - GLC) Bill Woodruff, Senate Appropriations
Committee staff, called to ask me if we had set a firm date for the Director's
meeting with Senator Russell. I indicated that it had been set for 11:00 a.m.
on Monday. Woodruff said Senator Russell had called him and said that the
Director had asked to see him and wondered if Woodruff knew what it was
about. Woodruff speculated that it was in connection with the Ervin bill, S. 78Z.
Woodruff is reviewing both the bill and the floor debate in the Senate in 1967.
I promised to have a brief paper for him available tomorrow.

5. (Secret - GLC) Accompaniedi ONE, to 25X1
a meeting with Representative Richard McCarthy (D., N. Y.) on the subject
of chemical, bacteriological, and radiological warfare. The meeting was
very relaxed and consisted primarily of the Congressman asking questions
of The discussion naturally centered largely on the CBR
Program in the Soviet Union, but McCarthy also asked about satellite
countries, the UAR, and Communist China. The Congressman indicated
that he had become involved in this subject largely as a result of his wife's
interest in it, but indicated that he was genuinely concerned about it. He
expressed his appreciation for riefing and said it had 25X1
been most helpful. He also mentioned in passing that his contact with us had
been triggered by the receipt of an FBIS item which we had sent him on the
subject. He said he was very much interested in receiving texts of broadcasts
mentioning him and would like to continue to receive them in the future.
6. (Confidential - JGO) Met with Mr. John R. Blandford, Chief
Counsel, House Armed Services, who advised that the Chairman is concerned
about the deliberate overflight of the Aleutian Islands by a Soviet BEAR.
Questions undoubtedly will arise on this subject at Tuesday's briefing.
Mr. Blandford also noted the full Armed Services Committee of 40 men
tends at times to confuse internal matters of importance in their constituencies
with the responsibilities of Federal agencies. In consequence, some
questions which can be anticipated relate to the responsibility of Justice
Department and FBI. He recommended for the Director's consideration a
short statement at the outset of the Agency responsibility and authority which
of itself would be beneficial to all members of the Committee.
7. (Internal Use Only - JGO) Met with Mr. Peter Scrivner, Adminis-
trative Assistant to Representative Melvin Price (D., Ill.), concerning the
request for information on Air America employment. This correspondence
was forwarded for Agency action from the Department of State. Mr. Scrivner
was somewhat apologetic about the handling of this constituent request and
agreed that he would supply the individual with information from the local
office of Air America without further reference to the Agency. No further
action is required on this matter. Department of State has been notified.

from Frank Sanders, Assistant Secretary of Navy, concerning security
clearances granted during his tenure with the Committee. Mr. Sprankle
observed that in all probability Mr. Sanders would need continuation of
clearances since he would be operating in almost the same sphere as he
was while with the Committee. Mr. Sprankle will review the matter with
AEC. This office will handle the matter directly with the Department of

received necessary biographical information for security processing.
Mr. Nicholas now holds the staff position formerly held by Frank Sanders.
10. (Confidential - LLM) Met with Dorothy Fosdick, Staff Director
on Senator Jackson's Subcommittee on National Security and International
Operations, who said the Senator was interested in knowing why the USSR
made public the border dispute with the Chinese, why previous border
fracases had been downplayed and how all this perhaps related to the Berlin 25X1
crisis. This apparently is in connection with a speech that Senator Jackson
will be giving shortly. DD/I, is working on the require-

Pike (D., N. Y.) and gave him the material which had been compiled by
FBIS on Pyongyang broadcasts following the seizure of the Pueblo. The
Asia and Pacific Area Books of January 1968, which had been loaned to him
previously, were returned and we will forward them to FBIS as they are
the "official record copies." Mr. Pike expressed his deep appreciation to
us for supplying this material in such a complete and prompt fashion. I
said I would pass on his thanks to those who had done the work. I advised
IDDS&T, of this most recent request by Mr. Pike and
his interest in statements relating to the mission and orders of the Pueblo
as contained in the release from Pyongyang and he is relaying this to
Admiral Lester O'Brien, Department of Navy.

25X1
been advised of these requirements.
Manuel asked if we had any objection to the inclusion in the Sub-
committee's hearings of the George Mason Murray "Black Panther"
message broadcast from Havana 23 October 1968 to the Americas in
English. I told him that I could foresee no objection

Government Activities Subcommittee and principal advisor to Rep. Jack
Brooks on ADP matters, called in connection with an ADP standards
Board of Review which has been operating for some eight months now under
the aegis of the National Academy of Science and funded by ARPA and chaired
by Ottinger of Harvard. Baynard said he had been invited to attend some of
the meetings, felt that the Board's work was unnecessarily duplicative of
the responsibilities of the National Bureau of Standards and Executive agencies,
and thus a waste of time and money. He said he felt he was only seeing part
of the iceberg and believed there were a number of sessions to which he was
not being invited and which he believed dealt in part with computer export
and national security interest. Baynard was obviously on a fishing expedition
and we are under no obligation to reply.

probably would solve the problem and the Director should take the matter up

OFFICE OF LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL
Wednesday - 12 March 1969
1. (Confidential - GLC) Talked with Ed Braswell, Staff Director,
Senate Armed Services Committee, about the pending nomination of
Lieutenant General Cushman. Braswell indicated that General Haynes,
Legislative Liaison for the Marine Corps, had been in touch with him on
the subject of confirmation hearings and the alleged problem pertaining
to the maintenance of General Cushman's three-star status. The Marine
Corps has apparently explored the possibility of having General Cushman
confirmed without a hearing in advance of his departure from his present
position in Vietnam. Braswell is obviously quite irritated about the way
the Marine Corps is handling this and sees no reason for it. He said that
it was possible for the Committee to do what General Haynes suggested,
but he sees no reason for it. As Braswell put it, the Marine Corps "has
not made its case" to him. I told Braswell that this was obviously a Marine
Corps problem with which we were not familiar. Braswell added that he
was quite certain that the Committee would want to have General Cushman
make a personal appearance since it would appear that he could be made
available between the 25th of March and the 15th of April.
2. (Confidential - GLC) Established contact with Brigadier General
F. E. Haynes, Legislative Liaison for the Marine Corps, in connection with
General Cushman's pending nomination. General Haynes appears quite
confused about the whole situation to the point of saying that according to
information he received from Ed Braswell, Staff Director, Senate Armed
Services Committee, General Cushman's nomination had not been received
by the Committee. (This was published in the Congressional Record of
Friday, 7 March 1969.) General Haynes appeared pleasant enough, however,
and in reviewing the problem of maintaining General Cushman's three-star
status acknowledged that this was a Marine Corps problem. No action by
this office appears indicated at this time.

3. (Confidential - GLC) Talked with Mr. Bob Michaels, House
Appropriations Committee staff, about Representative Richard McCarthy
(D., N. Y.) who contacted the Director today and asked to have our people
talk with him on the subject of the involvement of foreign countries in
chemical and biological warfare. Michaels knows little about McCarthy
except that he had on his own initiative requested a briefing from the Army
on this subject and such a briefing was subsequently given (according to a
Washington Post article of 5 March 1969) to three senators and 18 representa-
tives. It appears that McCarthy is attempting to eliminate any military
program which, in his opinion, is not absolutely justified.
4. (Secret - GLC) and I met with Mr. William
Woodruff, Senate Appropriations ommi ee staff, and reviewed with him the
data on Agency research grants which had been prepared pursuant to Bureau
of the Budget Bulletin 69-8. Woodruff appeared completely satisfied with his
review of this material and Eagle's responses to his questions. Woodruff
made notes on the number of contracts by general categories and the cost
of programs by categories (without mentioning specific projects). He said
he would transmit this information to Senator Russell in a Top Secret
memorandum with a suggestion that he (Woodruff) meet with Senator Mansfield
advising him that he had reviewed the material and had reached the judgment
that none of this information could be included in the Democratic Policy
Committee's study on this subject because of the sensitive nature of the
projects themselves.
Advised Woodruff that the Director wished to meet with Senator
Russell on Monday to discuss with him the matter of his response to
Senator Ervin regarding the question of his appearance before the Ervin
Subcommittee on S. 782. Woodruff said he thought this was a good idea
and merely asked that we provide him (Woodruff) with a one-page statement
of our specific objection to specific sections of the bill without referring
to any meeting with the Director. Woodruff will give this to Senator Russell
on Saturday as an aide-memoire on a subject of concern to the Agency.
5. (Confidential - GLC) Contacted Mr. Proctor Jones, on the staff
of Senator Richard Russell (D., Ga.), and asked if the Senator could see
the Director sometime during the day on Monday, 17 March. Jones tentatively
suggested that the Director meet with the Senator in the latter's office at
11:00 a. m. on that day. Mr. Jones will confirm this with us later.

for Defense Analysis might be interested in the subject matter.

Assistant to Representative Otis G. Pike (D., N.Y.), called to express
the Congressman's appreciation for the FBIS material covering the period
prior to the seizure of the Pueblo, and asked if we could provide a similar
compilation following the seizure and dealing primarily with the Pueblo's
mission and orders as broadcast by Pyongyang, Korea. She said the
Congressman would appreciate this material prior to his next Subcommittee
meeting which is scheduled for 10:00 a. m. on 14 March.

and Mrs. Phyllis V. Morgan and Allene G. Johnson the transcribers for
the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee hearings on Thursday and Friday,
13 and 14 March. Security clearances on the above are being verified.

talked to Mr. Bruce Merkle, Administrative Assistant to Representative
William Bray (R. , Ind.), and advised that has no record of an
employment application or other contact by A check
with our recruiting office indicated that he had not been tested at Indiana

Appropriations Committee staff, and reviewed the tentative agenda of

the arrangements for security procedures used at the hearing.
11. (Secret -GLC) Bill Woodruff, Senate Appropriations Committee
staff, and I met with Bob McCoy, Administrative Assistant to Senator Karl
Mundt, at McCoy's request. He said now that the F-111 issue is over,
Mundt is concentrating his attention on the subject of student uprisings and
is particularly interested in the possibility of the involvement of an interna-
tional conspiracy in these situations. McCoy asked if the Agency had any
information on this. I told him that any information which we would have on
student uprisings in foreign areas would be passed to the FBI in view of its
possible relationship to similar cases in the U. S. McCoy mentioned at this
point that Senator Mundt had an appointment to meet with FBI officials on this
subject on Monday. He said either DeLoach or Mr. Hoover himself would be
seeing the Senator. McCoy went on to say if we had any information on the
subject which we felt Mundt should know about he would appreciate our making
it available to him. He also mentioned a specific instance where someone
involved in student unrest in the New York City area was known to have cashed
a check which was drawn on a bank in Communist China. He was particularly
interested in knowing whether we had any information about this. I said I
would look into these areas and be in touch with him.

the em loyment application of Mr a constituent. Mr.

8. (Unclassified - CEA) Miss Puishis, in the office of Representative
Floyd Hicks (D. , Washington), called on behalf of a constituent to inquire
about summer employment. I pointed out the problems connected with this
and she readily understood and withdrew the request.
9. (Confidential - GLC) Talked with Ed Braswell, Staff Director,
Senate Armed Services Committee, about Senator Ervin's responses to the
Director's letter requesting an opportunity to appear before Ervin's
Subcommittee in executive session to present the Agency's views on S. 782.
Braswell repeated his feeling that the Director should now meet privately
with Senator Ervin again, expressing in specific terms the Agency's
objections to the bill and offering suggested language which would meet the
Agency's needs. Braswell urged that we be absolutely certain that there
is no way possible for the Agency to live with this bill with anything short
of a full exemption. In this connection Braswell mentioned again that
senators will not accept the fact that this is a serious Agency problem
unless the Director is willing to express the Agency's position personally
to them.
In this connection Braswell asked about NSA's position on the bill
at this time. He said he had not heard anything from them this year and
the assumption is that perhaps NSA is finding ways to adjust to the bill.
I told him I was confident this was not the case. He said he might be talking
with Jack Stempler, DOD, in an effort to stimulate him into action.

10. (Confidential - GLC) Talked with Ed Braswell, Staff Director,
Senate Armed Services Committee, about the pending nomination of
General Cushman and the timing of Committee hearings on the nomination.
I told him it was my understanding that the General would be leaving Vietnam
on or about 25 March and was scheduled to assume his duties as DDCI around
15 April. Braswell said he assumed the Chairman would want General
Cushman to appear before the Committee, but said there was no urgency on
this. It can be arranged sometime between 26 March and 15 April.
11. (Unclassified - GLC) Called Homer Krout, Administrative 25X1
Assistant to Representative Joel T. Broyhill (R., Va. regarding the
Congressman's telegram to the Director on behalf of
and his pending BEC claim. I told Krout that I had been in touch with our
Personnel people who were pulling Jones' file and that when the case had been
reviewed we would be in touch with him tomorrow morning. Krout acknowl-
edged tha4 lwas a very confused individual, but said he had been pressing
them for some time to have them again contact the Agency. Krout said they
had also sent a telegram to the Bureau of Employees' Compensation. He
said they wanted to cooperate with us in every way and appreciated the
nature of this case.
12. (Secret - GLC) Talked with William Woodruff, Senate Appropriations
Committee staff, about Senator Ervin's response to the Director's letter to
Senator Ervin on S. 782. Woodruff offered little encouragement, but said he
thought it essential that the Director see Senator Ervin again this year in an
attempt to reconcile our problems over the bill. If this fails ( as he expects
it will), he feels that the Director should then meet privately with Senator
Russell and spell out to him the Agency's problems with this bill. Woodruff
said that senators are most reluctant to interfere with the business of another
senator in his committee capacity, but he recognized that our Subcommittee
members should be forced to focus on Agency problems since they have
asserted legislative oversight jurisdiction over CIA.

5. (Confidential - CEA) Accompanied 1E R, to the
office of Representative Paul Findley (R. , Ill. or a brie briefing on the status
of Czechoslovakian arms shipments to the Middle East and Vietnam.
Findley had requested the briefing because he is interested in promoting
more favored nation's treatment for Czechoslovakia and is aware that
Czechoslovakia military aid to Vietnam and the Middle East will be a factor
in any chance of success. Findley was satisfied with the briefing and there
are no follow-up questions to be answered.
6. (Confidential - CEA) At the request of Representative Donald
Riegle (R., Mich.), Mr. Carver and met with Riegle and his
Administrative Assistant, Carl Blake, in Riegle's office to discuss Riegle's
recent trip to Vietnam. He feels that it is necessary that the United States
make some reduction in its forces in Vietnam within the near future, princi-
pally for U. S. political reasons. Riegle said he had met with President Thieu
who agrees that reduction in the neighborhood of 50, 000 men would be in order.
Riegle also feels, although he has not reached a personal position, that a
strong argument can be made for resuming the bombing of North Vietnam
over a specified period of time. He does not feel that the Paris peace talks
will result in any agreements. It was apparent that one of Riegle's principal
reasons for the meeting was to attempt to find out, if possible, from whom
President Nixon is getting his advice. Carver pointed out the obvious as being
Kissinger, Rogers and Laird and said beyond that, he did not know. Riegle
made it plain that he plans to push his ideas with those people who advise
Nixon, if he can find out who they are. 25X1

3. (Internal Use Only - LLM) Paul Karody, Legislative Assistant
to Senator Stephen M. Young (D. , Ohio), called on behalf of the Senator
to find out the amount of the Agency budget and the number of Agency
personnel. I told Mr. Karody that I was not able to supply this informa-
tion and cited the statutory proscriptions involved. I suggested that it
may be reasonable from his position and if he wishes to, to suggest to
the Senator that he deal with Senators Russell and Stennis on this matter
and he seemed to be agreeable to this suggestion commenting that it would
get both of us "off the hook." Then, in the absence of Ed Braswell, I
alerted Mr. Charles K.irbow, Chief Clerk, Senate Armed Services
Committee.

H. R. 4204, amendments to the War Claims Act of 1948, and learned that
the bill will be reported out in amended fashion and that it is DOD's

other things, would be best accomplished on the Senate side.

6. (Confidential - JGO) Met with Mr. Robert Michaels, House

does not foresee time for scheduling a meeting of the CIA Subcommittee
for the next two weeks.
I also reviewed with Mr. Michaels the classified handling of
the transcripts of the Director's briefing of the Defense Subcommittee on
13 and 14 March. Mr. Michaels noted that the Chairman and members of
the Subcommittee will undoubtedly have questions on Vietnam and Southeast
Asia that will be generated by Secretary Laird's trip to the Far East.
7. (Internal Use Only JGO) Met with Mr. Homer McMurray,
Clerk, Office of Official Reporters to House Committees, and made the
preliminary arrangements for Agency control of the reporters' notes,

Record material covering Senator Symington's remarks on the Pueblo
incident of 4 February and pointed out particular paragraphs of interest.
Mr. Slatinshek noted that he would put it with his material for inclusion
in the record. He advised that after the completion of today's hearings,
Chairman Pike intends to make a short press release on the hearings to
date. Since it had not yet been dictated by the Chairman, however, Mr.
Slatinshek could not detail the content. It is the Chairman's intention
to include a statement to the effect that the Agency was not involved in the
responsibility of the Pueblo incident.
12. (Secret - GLC) Hand carried to the Joint Committee on
Atomic Energy two copies of NIE 13-8-69, Communist China's Strategic
Weapons Program. One copy is to be retained by the Joint Committee for
the use of the Senate Preparedness Subcommittee.
13. (Secret - GLC) Hand carried to William Woodruff, on the
staff of the Senate Appropriations Committee, a letter from the Director
to Senator Russell transmitting a copy of his prepared statement as given
before the Pike Subcommittee on the Pueblo. Mr. Woodruff hastily reviewed
the statement commenting that it looked good to him and consistent with the
briefing papers which Admiral O'Brien had made available to him. He also
said that the statement would be very useful to him in preparing his memo-
randum to Senator Russell on the subject. It is Woodruff's feeling that
protracted and repetition on the Pueblo by numerous congressional committees
will serve no useful purpose. He proposes to suggest to Senator Russell that
the Senator call the Director, General Carter, and Admiral Moorer before
the CIA. Subcommittees to review the situation in the light of steps which might
be taken to avoid this kind of situation in the future.
I passed on to Woodruff the data on Soviet SO-1 class subchasers and
P-4 class motor torpedo boats which he had requested and which were provided
for us by Bruce Clarke, OSR.
I returned to Woodruff the map book which we had prepared for him
some years ago. DDI Graphics is preparing six new books for the use of
Woodruff, Braswell, and our Subcommittee chairmen.

gave before the Pike Subcommittee on the Pueblo. Braswell said he had not
devoted any time trf study to the Pueblo case and added that this would be
a useful summary for him. I. had the impression from Braswell's remarks
that he feels Senator Stennis would like to avoid hearings on the Pueblo but
is under some pressure from certain of his members to schedule them. He
also has outstanding the request from Senator Fulbright that any hearings on
the Pueblo be conducted with the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Braswell reviewed again his conversation with Senator Ervin on S. 782.
He indicated that he would like the Agency to be in touch with him before we
respond to the letter which Senator Ervin is sending us.
15. (Secret - GLC) During the course of a conversation with
Charles Kirbow, of the Senate Armed Services Committee staff, the subject
of the Ervin bill came up. We reviewed the membership of Senator Ervin's
Subcommittee on Constitutional Rights and Kirbow admitted that Senator
Thurmond was a member of that Subcommittee. In response to my light query
Kirbow said he thought Senator Thurmond would be sympathetic to the Agency's
position on the bill and suggested that we discuss it with James Lucier, of
Senator Strom Thurmond's (R., S. Car.) staff, in whom the Senator has great
confidence.

Vice Chairman have indicated considerable interest in this but no commitment

Appropriations Committee, called and said that although the Chairman
would not be able to schedule hearings on the 1970 defense budget for awhile
he would like to proceed with the intelligence briefing which the Defense
Appropriations Subcommittee has customarily received before considering
the defense budget. Michaels suggested as possible dates next Tuesday or
Wednesday, 11 or 12 March, or Thursday, 13 March, if this would better
suit the Director. I mentioned that Wednesday is generally the National
Security Council meeting day and after checking with the Director advised
Michaels that Thursday was by far the prefer4ble date for Mr. Helms. This
will be the usual worldwide round up briefing. Ihas been notified.
3. (Unclassified - GLC) In connection with the current review of

(D. , N. Car.) talked to him about the Agency's problems with S. 782.. The
Senator mentioned that Agency representatives had met with him but according
to Braswell their comments concerning the bill had been extremely general in
nature. He told Braswell that he planned to reply to Mr. Helms' letter
requesting an Agency appearance in executive session. In his reply he will
suggest that the Agency propose specific language which it would like to have
included in the bill. Senator Ervin also told Braswell that he would want the
Agency to be more specific with regard to our problems with S. 782. Braswell
recommended that we do nothing further until we receive Senator Ervin's letter.
When we respond he feels that this should include a personal visit from the
Director to the Senator.
5. (Confidential - JGO) Met with Mr. Robert Michaels, House
Appropriations Committee staff, concerning Chairman Mahon's request for
a worldwide intelligence presentation for the Defense Subcommittee of
Appropriations. Mr. Michaels advised that the Chairman has scheduled
the 13th and the morning of the 14th for the Director's presentation but that
we had been successful last year and the year before in completing the

interested in ABM and ICBM, both Soviet and ChiCom; South East Asia;
South America, with some emphasis on Peru; the Middle East; and, Berlin

the Chairman is quite interested in Spain and would be interested in our
estimate as to what may happen on the question of succession on General
Franco's death and whether the succession question has any bearing on the
present negotiations with Spain. Mr. Michaels will advise if other specific
questions are identified by the Chairman. as been advised.

Tuesday - 4 March 1969
1. (Secret - GLC) Met with Edward Braswell, Chief of Staff
of the Senate Armed. Services Committee, and brought him up-to-date
on developments on the Ervin bill (S. 782). I mentioned that Messrs.
Maury and Houston had talked with Senator Ervin without any apparent
success, that we had discussed our problems with the bill with Senators
Jackson and McClellan during their-visit to the Agency last Saturday and
that we had also talked with Senator Eastland. I pointed out that Senators
Jackson, McClellan, and Eastland seemed sympathetic to our position
and we hoped for their support. Braswell now shares our concern that
Senator Ervin may report this bill out of his Subcommittee without
further hearings. In this connection, I mentioned that the Director had
written to Senator Ervin regarding an opportunity to appear before his
Subcommittee in executive session to state the Agency's problem. Braswell
also agrees with us that the best place to try to accomplish our purpose
is within the Judiciary Committee framework.
I mentioned to Braswell the Director's reference to possible
retirement legislation in his conversation with Senator Stennis last
Monday and Senator Stennis' suggestion that we take this up with Braswell.
I indicated that we would be in touch with him in the very near future.
Braswell suggested that we submit material to him in advance of any
meeting so that he could have an opportunity to study it.
I advised Braswell that we were looking into the possibility of an
investment plan for Agency employees which could be tied into our
retirement program. I emphasized that this was in the exploratory
stages and that we would be back in touch with him before any action is
taken to establish such a program. Braswell's only question was whether
or not there would be an Agency contribution to the plan and I told him
there.would not. In the framework of this conversation, Braswell expressed
some knowledge of and some interest in our United Benefits Insurance
Program. I told him I would obtain some material on this program for
him.

4_ (internal Use Only - LLMI L. FBIS, advised
that Mrs. Woolbert, Administrative Assistant to Representative Otis G.
Pike (D., N. Y.), had requested the Asia and Pacific Area Books for the
month of January 1968. Ultimately, I hand-carried to Mrs. Woolbert these
Area Books which constituted the "Official Record Copy" which she said she
would treat accordingly and return. I also delivered the FBIS compilation
from the Area Books on North Korean radio comment regarding allege8TATSPEC
territorial intrusions covering the period from January 1964 until the seizure
of the Pueblo. She said Congressman Pike greatly annremat ssistance.
Mrs. Woolbert said she had been told by Mr. FBIS,
that FBIS could not provide the Congressman with classified information
pertaining to alleged South Korean warnings to its allies prior to the seizure
of the Pueblo that North Korea was "tightening up. " I explained that what
Fas most probably referring to was that the coverage in the
Area Books for the most part primarily deals with foreign broadcasts which
are on the open airways and not classified, and reiterated our desire to
.,e fully responsive to Mr. Pike's requirements where we could be helpful.
She said Mr. Pike was particularly concerned with the alleged South Korean
warnings as a result of Admiral Mooret's earlier testimony and she felt that
he would be pursuing this further when Mr. Helms testified before Mr. Pike's
Subcommittee. This information was related to Mr. Maury.

Later talked to Mr. Slatinshek at the close of today's hearings
and was advised that it had not been possible to complete the testimony
of Admiral Moorer and. that the Chairman had requested that the Admiral
return in the morning. Chairman Pike would appreciate it if the Director
could be available at 11:00 a. m. rather than 10:00 a. m. The Director has
been advised.
I also requested a Committee authorization to purchase a copy
of the transcript of the Director's testimony. Mr. Sla q.s~}g .14dicated
it would be necessary to check with the Chairman.
