1. Met with Bill Woodruff, Senate Appropriations
Committee staff, and briefed him
this morning. I also advised him of the Soviet missile testi
Woodruff commented in passing that he thought the budget briefing Friday
had gone very well.
2. Met with Ed Braswell, Senate Armed Services
Committee staff, and rie ed him
I also asked Braswell if he had any background on the
discussions between Senators Thurmond and Stennis on Thurmond's interest
in the Panama Canal. (Senator Stennis had talked with the Director about
this at the conclusion of the budget briefing on Friday.) Braswell was not
able to shed any light on this but said he would see what he could find out.
We have since obtained a copy of Thurmond's bill (S. 2228) to provide for
improvements in the Canal and several statements made by Thurmond in the
Senate on this subject. These are being sent to for OCI's use
in preparing a paper which Senator Stennis requested on this. 25X1
I took this opportunity to again mention to Braswell the subject of
retirement legislation and suggested that we get together with him on our
proposals as soon as it was convenient for him to do so. We will follow up
on this.
Braswell also expressed the opinion that the budget briefing on Friday
had gone quite well. He added that we should not react too strongly or take
too literally comments made by Senator Russell at these briefings. (He was
specifically referring to the Senator's comment that he did not share our
enthusiasm about a sensitive project which was covered in this briefing. )
3. Received calls from both 'Messrs. Woodruff
and Braswell expressing surprise and some consternation over the phrasing
of Army Secretary Resor's statement on the Green Beret case as it referred
to the Agency. I advised them that I had no information on the considerations
that were involved in this statement.

(D. , Mo.), and reviewed new correspondence fro a 25X1
rejected applicant who had previously complained about the Agency's
employment processing procedures. Miss Robnett agreed that they could
close out the case by advising II that failure to meet CIA suitability
criteria would not militate against meeting the standards of other FederaISTATOTHR
agencies and that the Agency does not share its suitability evaluations with
other Federal agencies. I said we would review the case in this light and
supply her with a suggested reply.

Bill Anders, of the National Aeronautics and Space Council, that he contact
me to insure that Chairman Miller, of the House Science and Astronautics
Committee, is in direct contact with the Agency for such intelligence briefings
as he may desire. This was occasioned by the departure of Mr. Mrozinski
from the Space Council's staff. I thanked Mr. Mote and responded that the
Agency has had direct contact with Chairman Miller over the years and that
we see no need for change in our procedures with him. Mr. Mote advised that
this step of insuring direct contact with the Chairman was warranted by problems
that have been encountered in the past in Council dealings with other members of
the House Science and Astronautics Committee.

in one day, he would like the Agency to be available Friday afternoon.
If the NSA and NRO hearings run into the afternoon on Friday, it would
then be necessary for the Subcommittee to hear the Director on Monday.

I explained in confidence the facts regarding the Green Beret case as we

personalities and problems of the Committee, and particularly of the loss
of leadership which the Republican members feel as a result of the death
of Representative William Bates.

1. Called Miss Elizabeth McNally,
in the office of Representative William D. Hathaway (D., Maine), and
confirmed the Congressman's visit to Headquarters on the 24th of
September from about 8-9:30 a. m. In response to my earlier inquiry
she said he would be interested in a briefing on Red China, North Vietnam,
and/or Russia. I told her it might be difficult to work in all of these
subjects and a look at some of our facilities in the time allotted, but that
we would work something out.
2. I Called Miss Obrokta, in the office
of Senator George Murphy (R. , Calif. , on a constituent letter they had
sent to us about employment possibilities with Air America. We are
returning the letter to Miss Obrokta and she will either forward it to the
Air America office in Washington or supply the information to
so that he can write directly.
3. Robert Hull, in the Department of
State, called and said they are tentatively scheduled to testify on 24 September
before Representative Hay's Subcommittee on a bill to add the provisions of
the Daniels bill (H. R. 9825) to the Foreign Service retirement system.
Apparently this early and possibly premature date for the hearing would
permit Mr. Rimestad to testify before he is succeeded as Deputy Under
Secretary of State by Mr. Macomber.
In response to his request, I told Mr. Hull that we would be moving
as soon as the McGee bill (S. 2754) moved in the Senate.
Hull feels that eventually there will be a tug of war between BOB and
CSC on whether the McGee/Daniels bill should be approved by the President.
In connection with the recent story of a new early retirement plan being
considered by the White House, Hull said that CSC knew nothing of it and,
although he agreed that there were certain similarities between the reported
new plan and proposals worked up by Foreign Service last year, he said that
as far as he knew no such plan had been proposed by the Department this year.

B. Smith and other Agency representatives regarding
Mr. Sourwine inferred that the Agency
has testimony which was given at that time. He said he didn't want people
to get overly excited but wondered what the chances were of vetting this
testimony for possible publication. I told him I would look into this and
be in touch with him.
5. General Counsel of NSA, who
had requested advice in preparation for his meeting this afternoon with Messrs.
Pincus and Paul, staff investigators of the Symington Subcommittee on U. S.
Agreements and Commitments Abroad. I suggested to that he try to 25X1
elicit from Pincus and Paul as much information as possible about the kinds
of questions NSA would probably be asked when they appear before the Sub-
committee the end of this month. I said it had been our experience that once
having gotten the best possible reading on the questions, it was desirable to
prepare carefully written statements responsive thereto. I tol hat 25X1
if in the preparation of these statements it was necessary to deal with such
matters as the Director's responsibilities in the intelligence community, his
authority regarding relations with foreign intelligence services, etc. , we would
be glad to consult with on what should be said. I lagreed to follow 25X1
this procedure.
Later in the day, eported that during his meeting with
Senator Symington and Messrs. Pincus and Paul, the Senator agreed that NSA
could maintain control of the transcript of their upcoming hearing, that the
hearing room would be swept, and that all security precautions would be
observed. In response to question, Symington said that it would not
be necessary to go into sensitive operational details, but when Pincus and Paul
registered objections, Symington said that in dealing with operational details
they could "go off the record. " According to Onothing was said that 25X1
would involve CIA or the DCI's role vis-a-vis NSA. NSA is drafting a prepared
statement which will be made available to Pincus and Paul prior to the formal
hearing.

In discussing the Cooper amendment (restricting the use of U. S.

said that the language of the amendment was so ambiguous as to be almost
meaningless, and that in any event he was sure the amendment would be
knocked out when the Defense procurement bill reaches, the House.

Merrill seemed to appreciate that we could not be of any help because (1) of

of these two divisions were more properly for the Department of Defense to
answer. Merrill said that he had pursued this as far as he could and had
referred it to an aide of Representative William Moorhead (D., Pa.) in hopes
that Moorhead would be sufficiently interested to investigate. (Merrill felt
it was not proper for the Library of Congress to host an activity funded by the
Department of Defense, presumably DIA, and producing classified material
not available to either committees or members of Congress.) Merrill appeared

individual because of his apparent knowledge of criminal activities.
Representative Bray thought this was fine and that we should drop the
matter. He advised that even though the man appeared somewhat unstable
he had passed the letter on for our review in order that we might evaluate
the worth of his information. No further action is required. The original
letter furnished by Representative Bray was returned to him.
Z. I Met with Miss Nancy Leonhardt,

Miss Leonhardt advised that an acknowledgement of the
receipt of the letter had been sent out and that in all probability no further

that event their office would contact the Department of Army for any light

the call to the Agency earlier in the day from the National Aeronautics

8. Rick Merrill, staff member of the
Democratic Study Group, called to determine the extent of duplication
between the Agency's "estimating" efforts and those of the Defense Research
Division and Areo Space Technology Division of the Library of Congress.
When I explained that it would be totally inappropriate for us to comment on
or evaluate the efforts of a congressional agency, Merrill said that these
divisions were not under the command and control of the Library of Congress
and were fully funded and only responsible to DOD components. I discouraged
Merrill's expectations that we could be of any help to him whatsoever, which
he seemed to appreciate, but said I would check and be back in touch.

that Senator Ervin and other staff members were confused as to the intent and
significance of some of our proposed changes in the Senator's language and
would like a clarifying statement from us explaining whether our proposals
involved substantive matters or were merely changes of form. If they were
intended to change the substance of Ervin's language, they would like an
explanation. I told Conrad we would respond shortly.

plans involving foreign countries, etc. According to Mr.I General
James F. Lawrence Deputy Assistant to the Secretary for Legislative Affairs
(in the absence of Assistant Secretary Stempler) has referred these sticky
problems to Warren Nutter, Assistant Secretary ISA, and his Special Assistant,
Stuart French. Mr. II feels that these queries levied on the DOD,
together with those levied on NSA (see Journal of 9 September) pose serious 25X1
security and jurisdictional problems and may warrant the attention of the
DCI so far as the intelligence community is concerned. Mr. romised
to keep me informed of any more specific information on the subject he
can pick up. I told Mr. 0 that the Director was seeing Senator Symington
today and if anything of direct concern to NSA emerged from this conversation,
I would let him know.

12. Hand carried to Mr. Ed Braswell, on the staff

in the Senate.
Mr. Braswell mentioned that Senator Symington had talked with
him recently about the Green Beret case. The Senator expressed a view
that the Agency was getting a bad name in connection with this case and he
thought the Director should be asked to brief the CIA Subcommittees on this
case so they might be of some assistance to us. I advised Braswell of the
Director's briefing of the Senate Appropriations CIA Subcommittee and told
him that the Director was seeing Senator Symington today and this would
undoubtedly come up during the course of conversation.
I also briefed Mr. Braswell on the status of our negotiations on

certain that the bill would pass the Senate in some form but he feels sure
that the income tax provision will be deleted from the bill on a point of order.

5. Winston Bryant, Legislative Assistant to
Senator John L. McClellan (D. , Ark. ), called and asked about the status of
the amendments to S. 782 which Senator Ervin had suggested. I advised
Bryant that we had worked on these amendments and that they were now in
a form which would be acceptable both to NSA and ourselves. I also indicated
that we had been in touch with the FBI on these and that the Bureau was holding
to its position of requesting a complete exemption from the bill. I explained
to Bryant that while we felt a full exemption was a clearer and better approach
we could live with the amendments as we had resubmitted them to Larry Conrad.
Bryant said that Senator McClellan wanted to help Senator Ervin get the bill out
but only if full exemption were granted the FBI, NSA, and ourselves.
Murphy took this opportunity tol and asked
if I would check to see if there was any further information on the extent of
information that had been compromised. I told Murphy I would look into it.

in the office of Senator Jennings Randolph (D. , W. Va. ), and, based upon the
advice of the Office of Personnel, told her that we had no record of employment

that we were sending over our final suggestions for a compromise solution
to the Ervin bill (S. 782) which were based on the earlier proposals of Senator
Ervin. I also explained to Conrad that we had been in touch with the FBI,
but they were pushing for a complete exemption and wanted no part of any
compromise formula.
10. General Counsel of NSA,
came by to leave with us copies of two recent letters from Senator Symington
to Admiral Gayler asking a number of probing questions about NSA's overseas
activities. i reels this raises serious problems for both NSA and the

11. With the Director's approval and following
a consultation with the DDP, I met with Senator J. W. Fulbright in response
to his inquiry concerning alleged Agency activities See Memo for 25X1
the Record.)
During a leisurely discussion the Senator spoke highly of the Agency
and the Director and asked to be advised if we encountered any political
difficulties as a result of maintaining our objectivity and independence on
certain controversial questions of the day. He said he was ready to support
us if we should ever need him.
I took advantage of the occasion to brief the Senator and, at his

that the FBI informed us they wished to pursue a full exemption for the
Bureau and, therefore, they were not mentioned in these amendments.
Mr. Berman and I discussed this a bit and agreed that, if a full exemption
were to be given for one agency, it would seem desirable to treat the other
security agencies, i. e. , CIA and NSA, the same way.

he still thinks the SA-5 must have an ABM mission.
I mentioned to Woodruff the apparent lack of movement in the Pentagon
