letter with a copy to each member of the Post Office Committee outlining the
Commission's continued opposition to the entire bill and detailed in the letter
the fact that comments made by Commission representatives during the various
hearings on the bill had been in the spirit of providing technical assistance to
the Committee and had in no way been intended to soften or qualify the opposition
of the Commission to the bill, The official report of the Commission is in
process in the Office of Management and Budget and is expected to clear there
some time this afternoon for delivery to the Committee this evening. It is
anticipated that the OMB approved report will contain language to the effect
that the proposed bill is in opposition to the Presidentrs legislative programs
and policies.

$? At his request, met with Mr, John
Martiny, C~iie ounsel, House Post Office and Civil Service, together with
Mr. David W. Bowers, Inspector, FBI, Mr. Anthony Mondello, General
Counsel, Civil Service Commission, and Miss Marcia MacNaughton,
Constitutional Rights Subcommittee staff, Senate Committee on the Judiciary.
Mr. Martiny outlined briefly the request to him from Representative Udall
(D. , Ariz.) for staff assistance in drafting a proposed amendment to the
Committee bill on invasion of privacy of Federal employees for introduction
in the full Committee hearing. Mr. Martiny appeared to discard completely
a conversational suggestion that had been made during the Subcommittee
meeting this morning that the "exempt agency employees" might file complaints
with the board established under the bill. Discussion centered on possible
amendment to the bill to require annual reporting to the Committee of cases
of a similar nature processed within the intelligence community framework.

in the meeting at a later date.
9. 1VIet with Mr. Marvin Leibstone, Staff
Assistant to Representative William Randall (D. , Mo. ),in response to his

Representative Randall concerning possible introduction of legislation by
Representative Randall relating to release of intelligence information to
the Congress. The paper is a rational attempt to set out guidelines for
controlling the release of sensitive information and indicated in part that
no action should be taken without prior consultation with Agency representatives.
I pointed out to Mr. Leibstone that a bill almost foursquare with the stated
objectives was introduced earlier this year by Representative Charles Gubser
(R. , Calif, ). I also suggested other areas of review that might be of interest.
Mr. Leibstone was most appreciative and said he would call if any further
assistance is desired by Representative Randall.
