OFFICE OF LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL
Thursday - 12 February 1970
1. I In the absence of Ed Braswell, I briefed
Herb Atkinson, on the staff of the Senate Armed Services Committee, on
a situation in Laos and asked that he call it to Braswell's attention at his
earliest opportunity with the thought that Chairman Stennis would be
interested in knowing this.
2. Picked up the testimony 25X1
from Jay Sourwine, Chief Counsel, Senate Internal Security Subcommittee,
for editing and left it with I of SB Division.
3. Spoke to Peggy Papp, in the office of
Representative Manuel Lujan (R., N.Mex.), concerning a letter from a
constituent, I I which complained about the Agency's
activities in Laos. I suggested to Miss Papp that she inform
that there are four subcommittees of the Congress which oversee the
Agency and in addition Senator Stuart Symington (D., Mo.) recently chaired
a subcommittee which has investigated all U. S. Government activities in
Laos, including that of the Agency. Miss Papp thought this would be more
than satisfactory.
4. During his visit to Headquarters for briefings,
I gave Mr. Ralph Preston, House Appropriations Committee staff, the
Director's letter to the Chairman concerning
he Radios.
5. William Woodruff, Senate Appropriations Com-
mittee staff, and S. Ralph Preston, House Appropriations Committee staff,
visited the Agency for a budget briefing by John Clarke and Enno Knoche, OPPB,
on our R&D program by Carl Duckett, DDS&T, and our Southeast Asian
operations Chief FE. (See Memo for Record for details.)
