Met with Miss Helen Mattas, House
Foreign,Affairs Committee staff, and reviewed the portion of the transcript
of the statement of Maurice J. Williams, Deputy Administrator, AID, of
21 March relating to questions concerning the GAO report referenced in the
New York Times of Sunday, 19 March. Mr. Williams repeated the agreed
statement verbatim with the exception that he corrected the figure 250, 000
Lao refugees giving the correct figure 280, 000. The tone of his response
was unequivocal and to the point that USAID is not providing support for
Lao military/paramilitary forces and dependents. Miss Mattas also gave
me a copy of the prepared statement read into the 'record by Mr. Williams.25M
FE Division, has been advised.

Talked to Ed Braswell, Chief Counsel,
Senate Armed Services Committee, and asked whether his reference to
Senator Symington's pressing for further hearings on Laos meant that the
Agency might be called up on this subject. Braswell said he thought this
unlikely and that probably State would be called up. He said there was no
chance of the Director being called to testify this week on the Agency budget,
but it was remotely possible that the DDCI confirmation might come up
Thursday.
