16. (Confidential - JMM) Talked to Chairman James M. Hanley,
Employee Benefits Subcommittee of House Post Office and Civil Service
Committee, who welcomed the suggestion that the Subcommittee visit
Headquarters for a breakfast briefing in the next several days and he
said that Dick Barton, of his staff, would coordinate with other Subcommittee
members and call me to work out arrangements.
17. (Confidential - JMM) Called William Thomson, in the office of
Senator Clifford P. Hansen, who said that in view of the time deadline they
had telegraphed to the Wyoming University newspaper, The Branding Iron,
the Senator's open letter in response to Allen Ginsberg's open letter query
to the Senator regarding Agency involvement in Southeast Asian drug traffic.
Mr. Thomson said that nevertheless they planned to go ahead with a
query to the Bureau of Narcotics which they hoped would produce an answer
that could usefully be made public.
18. (Unclassified - JMM) Received a call from Ben Welles,of the
New York Times, who said he understood that Representative Herman Badillo
was introducing a bill forbidding the Agency to engage in paramilitary operations,
and Wells wondered if this would get much support on the Hill and if we were
seriously concerned. I said I didn't expect this bill to go very far. 25X1A
