1. LLM) Jay Sourwine, Chief Counsel, Senate Subcommittee
on Internal ecurity, called to express the Subcommittee's urgent interest
in interviewing a Cuban defector who Sourwine believes has
valuable information on certain U. S. citizen dealings with North Vietnam.
I told Sourwine we would check and be back in touch. (Yesterday, Al Tarabochia,
of the Subcommittee, staff, alerted of possible Subcommittee 25X1
interest. )
2. - LLM) Jay Sourwine, Chief Counsel, Senate
Subcommittee on Internal Security, called and asked if we had any objections
to public use of the translation we provided on 22 December of the 16 December
Red Star attack on Senator Eastland. He said the article would be "water on
the wheel" for the Senator. I told Sourwine I didn't think there would be any
problem in using just the straight text of the article, but that I would check
and let him know if any problems exist.
3. - RJK) Delivered to the offices of Representative
Wilbur Mills (D., Ark.) and Senators Edward Kennedy (D., Mass.) and
Mike Mansfield (D., Mont.) FBIS items in which their names were mentioned.

of the House Armed Services Committee staff.

Thursday - 24 December 1970
JMM) Called Representative Philip J. Philbin at his
home in Massachusetts to explain our problem with the Civil Service
Commission in connection with the transfer of funds provision in our
recently passed retirement legislation. Mr. Philbin seemed to under-
stand the problem and assured us he would do anything within his
power to resolve it. He said he planned to return to Washington on
Tuesday or Wednesday, 29 or 30 December, at which time he would
like us to have ready for him a memo setting out the problem in
detail. He indicated that a statement for the record would probably
be the best solution and that he would be glad to provide one in
accordance with our suggestions.

a contact made wiLLnn him by Jim Pont, Deputy Director East Asia and
Pacific Affairs, ISA, DOD, concerning ISA's response to an inquiry from
Senator Fulbright about incursions in South Laos. ISA had planned to
include in their response a suggestion that Fulbright contact the Director
if he wished an intelligence briefing on this area, but II had objected
to this and I agreed with his position. was interested, however, in
providing Pont with the date of the Director's appearance before the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee. I advised that the Director briefed
the Committee on 28 October 1969 and was present at Ambassador Unger's
appearance on 17 November 1969, but did not participate.
Z. Messrs. Houston, attended a meeting with
State Department officials: Colgate Prentice, Deputy Assistant for
Congressional Relations; Stanley Futterman, East Asian and Pacific
Affairs; and Thomas Pickering, Deputy Director for Bureau of Politico-
Military Affairs. The meeting was at their request to discuss possible
congressional action on the so-called Fulbright amendment to the Defense
Appropriations Act. We discussed several possible provisions which
might come out of the House-Senate conference on the bill. While no
conclusions were reached, it appeared the State Department representatives
appreciated the Agency's position with regard to some of these alternatives.
It was agreed that we would keep in touch regarding subsequent developments
on the bill.

3. - GLC) After learning that the Civil Service
Commission had expressed reservations as to whether the amendments
to subsection (c)(1) of section 252 of the CIA Retirement Act were
sufficiently clear so as to authorize the Commission to transfer Govern-
ment retirement contributions accumulated under the Civil Service retire-
ment system to the Agency for employees transferring into the Agency's
system, we discussed the problem with William Cook, of the House
Armed Services Committee staff. We discussed the alternatives of a
letter to the Commission from the Chairman and/or a statement by one
of the Members which would be inserted in the Congressional Record.
It was decided that we would take this up with Frank Slatinshek when
he returns next week.

1. - JGO) Met briefly with John Martiny, Chief
Counsel, House Post Office and Civil Service Committee, who told me
that he expects the conference report on the pay bill to clear through
the Senate before recess. He anticipates no difficulty on the floor of
the House.
2. - JGO) Met with Mr. Earl Morgan,
House Armed Services Committee staff, and thanked him for his part
in the handling of S. 4571 on the floor of the House yesterday. Mr. Morgan
found it somewhat fortuitous that half the time available for discussion
of the bill was taken up in eulogies for Representative Philip J. Philbin
(D. , Mass.) who was defeated on his bid for reelection.
3? JGO) Met with Miss Mary Swann,
Administrative Assistant to Representative F. Edward Hebert (D. , La. ),
and gave her a copy of the Garrison book Heritage of Stone. Miss Swann
told me that unless something unusual happened on the floor of the House
Mr. Hebert may not return to the city until sometime after the first of
the year.
4. - JGO) In response to her request of yesterday
returned to Miss Judy Waggoner, on the staff of Senator John G. Tower
(R. , Texas), constituent correspondence relating to employment in the
Secret Service.

of the Red Star attack on Senator Eastland of 16 December, and an article by
B. Karpovich entitled "The Neanderthal Man from Capitol Hill" together with
Red Star items of 14 October and 15 November referring to Senator Percy.
I left a note for Mr. Sourwine outlining the fact that Red Star's gratuitous
personal attack on Senator Eastland in a full-scale article is unusual.

Mr. Tarabochia also told me that a longtime close friend, a
a general practitioner with a flourishing
practice in Miami, Flon a, who has a background as a naval officer and
training in decompression work, is interested in possible Government
service. He was approached by the Agency many years ago but was unable
to serve at that time. I told Mr. Tarabochia that Agency interest in the
Miami area at the time of the Cuban invasion related to particular on-going
operations and that I would doubt that there would be any present need for
similar service but that I would check the matter and be back in touch with
him. DDP, has been advised.
5. JGO) I received a call from Miss Dorothy Fosdick,
Staff Director, u committee on National Security and International
Operations, Senate Committee on Government Operations, who asked the
number of surface-to-surface missiles that have been put into Egypt by
the Soviets for Senator Henry Jackson's use this afternoon. She indicated
that the Senator needed the information as soon as possible. After
checking with Bruce Clarke, OSR, I told Miss Fosdick that the Egyptians
are believed to have two battalions of samlets which would approximate
some 50 (samlet) cruise missiles located in Alexandria and similar
shore installations and six frog-mark 7 located in the Cairo area. The
frogs were identified as being present in Egypt in midsummer and the
samlets as early as 1968. Miss Fosdick was most appreciative.

for r, ous on, I talked to Ralph Preston, House Appropriations
Committee staff, about the press reports concerning agreements between
Senator J. Fulbright (D. , Ark. ), Senator Michael Mansfield (D. , Mont. )
and others with Chairman George Mahon of House Appropriations Committee.
In brief, Mr. Preston told me it is the Chairman's position that the Senate
should take the Defense Appropriations Bill conference report to the floor
of the Senate and vote the measure as has been done in the House. It
would appear that no compromising agreements have been reached between
the objectors in the Senate and Mr. Mahon.
7. JMM) Talked to Bill Cook, House Armed
Services Committee staff, regarding the possibility of contacting some
of the House "objectors" to head off any possible problems when our
retirement legislation reaches the floor. Cook advised against any action
on our part, remarking that Acting Chairman Philip Philbin had told the
Committee staff that he alone would handle the problem of the objectors.
I mentioned to Cook that the Time article on Cienfuegos was mis-
leading in a number of important respects and I would be glad to brief
any of the Committee on the details if they were interested. He said he
saw no need for this at the moment.
8. I I- JMM) Met with Ralph Preston, Staff Assistant, House
Appropriations Committee, whom I brought up to date on recent information
regarding Communist tactics in Vietnam, radar installations in Egypt,
political developments in Poland, and Soviet naval activities in Cuba.
Mr. Preston had no new information on the status of the conference
report on the Defense Appropriations bill, but argued that it would be a
great mistake at this stage to delete the language which had been added to
the so-called "Fulbright amendment" at Mr. Mahon's suggestion, since to
do so at this time would lend weight to the restrictive interpretation of the
Fulbright amendment.

Woodruff said that things were so confused now over the Appropriations
bill that there was no telling what if anything would finally emerge before
the end of the session.
10. I I- JMM) Met with Representative John O. Marsh
in response to his letter recommending U. S. Army,
a VMI graduate, had been scheduled to escort Vice President Agnew on a
tour of South Vietnam but when the Vice President's trip did not materialize
he was assigned to escort Marsh. Marsh sai who is most 25X1A

which Rogers apparently had with the Agency. Actually this was the result
of a remark of his that was misunderstood. See Memo for Record.
At the same time, I asked Rogers if there were any matters on
which we could be of assistance and he asked about reports of Soviet naval
activities in Cienfuegos. I ran down the latest information on the subject
explaining that the version presented in the current issue of Time con-
siderably exaggerated the seriousness of the situation. 25X1

We corrected several errors and ambiguities in the transcript and
added one clarifying statement.
I also left with Mr. Slatinshek's secretary a message regarding

on lother than she was an applicant for the CT program
in 1965. I told that if Senator McClellan is interested in
I application to the Agency, she should be advised to suggest
the Senator contact the Agency directly. He said this would cause no
problem and based on our earlier discussion he had in effect already
told her this.
4. GLC) Met with Bill Woodruff, Senate Appropriations
Committee s a , and brought him up to date on several current intelligence
items including Cienfuegos, recent evaluation of Soviet MRV shots, the
missile site in China, and the slowup of the ICBM program.
Woodruff said that with the present situation in the Congress he
thought it very doubtful that we would be able to make the trip to Europe
after the first of the year.
Woodruff mentioned that the House amendment to the Fulbright
amendment of the Defense Appropriations bill will probably cause consider-
able problems in the Senate and could even result in the bills going back
to conference again.

employee in whom he had expressed interest on behalf of Senator Stennis
had been in touch with him. He said she had given him the impression
that her suggestion that she retire at her present grade in six months
was made under considerable pressure, if not duress. Cresswell is not

be given the opportunity to think the matter over during the holidays
before making an irreparable decision. I told Cresswell that I would
check with the Director of Personnel to be sure this was agreeable and
if not would let him know. I subsequently talked with Mr. Wattles who
said this was quite agreeable to him.

interest in the case of an Agency employee whom they feel is being
pressured into retirement. The employee is well-known to the Senator

said he knew the Director was busy, but asked if I would make it a point
to meet with her and look into her case to see if there wasn't a possibility
of her being reassigned to another office. I told Cresswell I would look
into the matter and be back in touch with him.

1. ~- JMM) Ralph Preston, Staff Assistant, House
Appropriations Committee, called to say that in the Senate-House
conference on Saturday it appeared that they might be willing to
accept an amendment to the Fulbright amendment which would involve
adding to the existing language the following:
but nothing herein will be construed to prohibit
support of free world or local forces in actions designed
to promote the safe and orderly withdrawal or disengage-
ment of U.S. forces from the war in Indochina. "
I told Preston that this language, which was almost identical to that
proposed by the Agency, would go far toward solving our problems
and I hoped he would pull hard to get it accepted.
Later I discussed the above with Bill Woodruff, Counsel, Ice
Appropriations Committee, who agreed also to work for acceptafice of
the above language, although he said the last few words should be changed
from " the war in Indochina" to "combat activities in Southeast Asia. "

Subcommittee on oreign Operations and Government Information, House

Chairman Moss' letter of December 10. I advised Mr. Matteson that the
President's directive concerning public relations activities was not
addressed to the Central Intelligence Agency and that recheck with the
Office of Management and Budget has verified that no report on the matter
is expected from the Central Intelligence Agency. Mr. Matteson thanked
me for the advice and said that a one paragraph response to Chairman
Moss' letter advising that the subject matter of President Nixon's
November 6 directive has no application to the Agency will be sufficient.

fied by the Coast Guard. Westphal said the Committee wanted this material

its classification had been at the Agency's insistence. After checking with

this material to be classified and had so informed the Coast Guard.

Slatinshek said that unfortunately he had already sent out a notice to
the Committee members indicating the Director himself would appear,
and he assumed that if Colonel White appeared in his stead we could
explain the Director's unavailability.
Slatinshek said a Democratic caucus was scheduled for 0830 on the
morning of the 16th and therefore he had rescheduled our appearance for

not wanted to formally object but he thought this amendment should be
deleted since it apparently caused some problems for CIA. Preston
told me that Mahon agreed that the Fulbright amendment was undesirable

be well for the Director to let the Chairman know firsthand about our

Director.

on the measure, but said that the language does not explicitly support the
newspaper reports that a 1 January six percent increase would be

1. - GLC) In response to his request yesterday
for information about the will of Anna Louise Strong, I left a message
for J. Sourwine, Chief Counsel, Senate Internal Security Subcommittee,
that since we did not make it our business to follow the activities of
American citizens abroad we had no information about Anna Strong's
will except the recollection of some of our China hands who had seen
a recent article in Combat magazine about it and understood that the
contents of her will, which was executed in 1966, were divulged some
time prior to her recent death. I suggested that the Subcommittee
contact the State Department and the FBI for further information on
this.
2. I[ JMM) Met with Frank Slatinshek, Acting Chief
Counsel, House Armed Services Committee, and told him that our
retirement legislation was being reported out by the Senate Armed
Services Committee and we hoped the House could act on it before
adjournment. I left with Slatinshek the brief outline of the main pro-
visions of our bill. He said he would do what he could but unfortunately
Chairman Rivers was going to be out of town for the next several days
and there were no bills on the Committee agenda so he was not sure when
they could take it up.
Briefed Slatinshek on status of Soviet ICBM deployment, Soviet
airfield and port construction activity in Egypt, Soviet naval vessels in
Cuban area and Soviet submarine activity in the Pacific.

trip to Southeast Asia and had been asked by the Committee to sanitize
it for publication as rapidly as possible. Moose asked if we could have
someone come over and review it with them from a security standpoint
on a strictly unofficial basis, it being understood that they would not
necessarily be bound by our recommendations, and the knowledge that
we had seen the re rt at all would be strictly between us. After checking
with the Director, o hie.f, FE, and I arranged to meet with
Lowenstein and Moose at 0800 tomorrow.
4. II- JMM) Pat Holt, Senate Foreign Relations Committee
staff, called and referred briefly to a resolution introduced in the Senate
by Senator Dole regarding Son Tay, adding that it had been referred to
the Foreign R elations Committee and the Committee had scheduled
executive session hearings on this subject for Monday, 14 December,
at which they would like "somebody from CIA" to appear. He added
that they would expect the Director to appear personally, but did not
wish to so specify in their formal request. He said the hearings would
run all day and the morning would be taken up by DOD so Agency witnesses
could expect to appear in the afternoon.
5. - LLM) At the request of Albert Bustamante,
in the San Antonio office of Representative Henry Gonzalez (D. , Texas),
spoke with an individual who claimed that he had submitted his application
25X1A some weeks ago for work with the Agency as a load master
and was anxious about the outcome, saying that he had dealt

The proposed report was identical to the draft report we had given to

without the proposed relief the Agency would not be able to accommodate
all projected retirees through 30 June 1974. Later I advised Phyllis

by the Chairman whether he will recommend that the House accept the
Senate amendments or reject them and go to conference on the bill.
I briefed Mr. Preston on the TU-95 flights to Cuba; Cienfuegos;

Mr. Slatinshek noted that the Defense Department briefing of the full
Committee yesterday afternoon on Son Tay, bombing, and Cuba was not
a very satisfactory one. Many of the members had already departed and
other incidents apparently marred the continuity of the briefing leaving
those present less than satisfied with the briefing.

Armed Services Committee staff, the draft Committee report on the
CIA Retirement Act amendments he had requested from
Mr. Maury yesterday and he said it was exactly what he wanted. I
brought his attention to the fiscal data section and told him that the
amendments would initially result in a net increase of funds for the
system due to the infusion of funds under the employer contributions
provision. I gave him a written report on the status of the retirement
ceiling as of 3 December, indicating only 22 unencumbered slots remain,
and he agreed this fully demonstrated the urgency of our needs. I also
left with him a short paper on ceiling for him to use as an aide-memoir
in the executive session of the Committee. Braswell was hopeful that
he might be able to see the Chairman later this afternoon, looking towards
favorably reporting out our amendments early next week.

Referring to a question he brought up at our last Subcommittee
hearing, I filled Bow in on recent developments regarding terrorism in
Uruguay.
I also mentioned certain developments regarding Soviet and ChiCom
missile and Soviet naval activities.
In response to my question Bow said attacks on the Agency from
the House membership, such as the Democratic Study Group allegations,
need not be taken seriously at this time.
In response to Bow's question I said that the operation at Son Tay
was strictly a military affair for which the Agency had no responsibility.
Bow said he was glad to hear this, but we'd be hearing a lot about this
and an effort would certainly be made to try to pin it on the Agency.

2. I I- JMM) Last evening discussed with Ralph
Preston, Staff ssis an , House Appropriations Committee, the problem
posed by the fact that apparently the language of the Fulbright amendment
is to be incorporated in the Senate version of the Defense Procurement
bill. Preston feels that this would pose some very serious problems
for Chairman Mahon on the House side, and this morning Preston called
to say he had received an advanced copy of the bill which would be
formally sent to the House this afternoon and it did indeed contain a
provision identical to the so-called Fulbright amendment. Preston is
concerned that this language could properly be interpreted as applying to
certain going programs in Southeast Asia. He feels that before deciding
on how to handle this bill on the House side Chairman Mahon will want to
assure himself of exactly what the effects are, and for this reason may
want to discuss the problem personally with the Director. Preston hopes
to take the matter up with Mahon before the end of the week and will let
us know the results.
3. JMM) Ed Braswell, Chief of Staff, Senate
Armed Services Committee, called to say that he was hard pressed for
time and would have difficulty in finding time to prepare a Committee
report on our retirement legislation. He asked if we could do a draft
for his use, which I agreed to undertake, with the deadline of Friday
afternoon, 4 December.

Ed Braswell, Chief of Staff, Senate Armed Services Committee, and
stressed our concern about getting our pending retirement legislation

the legislation was noncontroversial and merely conforming in nature.
Braswell said he would talk to Senator Stennis about it this week. In
response to Mr. Maury's offer to talk with the Chairman personally
about the legislation, Braswell suggested that we wait until he has an
opportunity to take the matter up with him. The Committee will have
an executive session in the next few days and it is possible the legislation
can be reported at that time.
Braswell asked for our assistance in pulling together unclassified
information on the extent of trade on the part of various countries with
North Vietnam. We said we would check with our people and be back
in touch with him.

expressed the opinion that the total Agency budget figure could be divulged
without serious consequences but gave the impression that he did not plan
to push this position at this time. We expressed concern that revelation
of the total Agency budget figure would merely be a first step which would
result in increasing pressure for more details on Agency expenditures.
We brought Woodruff up to date on several current intelligence
items including the position of the Soviet sub tender near Cuba, the
status of Soviet-Cuban relations, Egypt's pilot training effort, and
status of the Soviet SU-7 Fitter fighter bomber.

3.1 GL C) I advised Gerry Elliott, Staff Assistant
to Representative Donald M. Fraser (D., Minn.), that we had taken up
with the Director their request of yesterday for an Agency briefing on
Cambodia for Congressman Fraser. I told him since the State Department
and the Department of Defense have all the information the Agency has
on Cambodia and have appeared before the Foreign Affairs Committee,
the Director felt it would be inappropriate for the Agency to give personal
briefings to members of the Committee. Elliott said he had informed
Representative Fraser of our conversation yesterday and the Congressman
had expected that we would not want to brief individual members, but
wondered whether the Director would respond favorably to a request from
Chairman Morgan if Fraser could persuade the Chairman to call the
Director before the Foreign Affairs Committee. I told Elliott that, of
course, I could make no commitment for the Director on this, but was
certain the Director would give serious consideration to any request
from Chairman Morgan and would cooperate to the extent possible under
the circumstances.
