5. Met with Mr. Garner J. Cline, Counsel, 25X1
Immigration and Naturalization Subcommittee, House Judiciary Committee.
In brief, Cline advised that as Counsel he would be forced to recommejnd
disapproval of any bill no matter how sponsored that would grant credit toward
the five-year residence requirement for citizenship. In part he noted that
he has three requests on his desk for assistance in similar bills. Onel would
be to allow the granting of citizenship to allow participation on the American
Olympic team. With the present Committee procedures of all cases going
before the full Committee he does not see how any such bill could be
authorized by the Subcommittee. Mr. Warner, OGC, and 25X1
Africa Division, have been advised.
6. Met with Mr. Ralph Preston, House
Appropriations Committee staff, who told me that he will try to schedule
a visit to the Agency and possible luncheon with Messrs. Steininger and
Proctor at the earliest possible date. He will not know until the first of
the week whether he will be able to do it during the coming week. Preston
told me that he does not see how he can schedule any further hearings on
the community budget. He feels that he will have to take the information
he has in hand and go to markup without further hearings from Defense
components.
7. J. Sourwine, Chief Counsel, Senate Interna125X1
Security -Subcommittee, called with reference to the testimony of Alfred
McCoy before Senator Proxmire's Foreign Operations Subcommittee, Appro-
priations Committee. Sourwine was aware of the allegations McCoy is making
in his testimony today and said if there was anything the Subcommittee could
do that would be helpful either to the Agency, to the Subcommittee, or both
in setting the record straight on this subject, he would be happy to cooperate
with us. In this connection he mentioned the study which is being conducted
by the Subcommittee's task force which is being headed by General Lou Walt
and presently traveling around the world looking into the drug problem.
Sourwine also noted Jack Anderson had mentioned there were eight CIA
reports on this subject which might or might not be accurate. He said if
these reports or any other information could be made public through the
task force they would be happy to cooperate. I told Sourwine I would look
into this.
