3. Met with Frank Slatinshek, Chief Counsel,
House Armed Services Committee.-and filled him in on my meeting with
Chairman Nedzi, Intelligence Subcommittee. I also briefed him on the
Director's correspondence with Chairman Lee Hamilton, Subcommittee on
Near East and South Asia, House Foreign Affairs Committee, concerning
the alert of American forces during the Middle East crisis. Slatinshek asked
if possible if he could see a copy of the correspondence.
I briefed Slatinshek on the Agency's negotiations with GSA on SLUC.
Due to time limitations we didn't get into detail but he asked that we discuss
it further. In his opinion the position taken by GSA is complete': nonsense.
As Chairman Nedzi had done, Slatinshek noted the Agency should not expect
very much help from OMB in either the SLUC or the Renegotiation Board
Air America problems.
I discussed with Slatinshek the presentation before the full Committee
tomorrow morning on S. 2714 the CIARDS cost of living bill. Slatinshek will
attempt to field any questions coming from the full Committee in order to
avoid getting into classified information.
4. Met with Ralph Preston, Staff Assistant,
House Appropriations Committee, and made an appointment for Wednesday,
12 December at 10:00 a. m. for John Iams, Comptroller, ,
Deputy. Preston asked that the other meetings tentatively scheduled for
this week be put off at least until next week due to the press of Committee
business.
Preston's assistant, Marcia Matt, is checking the files for material
relating to the restrictions imposed on the Defense Department in shipment
of foreign-made privately owned vehicles.
has been advised.
5. Received a call from Bruce Merkel, in the
office of Representative William Bray, who asked if I would come by and
pick up a letter that Bray is sending to an Agency employee.
6. Called General Ray Furlong, Deputy Assistant
Secretary of Defense for Legislative Affairs, and asked him the status of
legislation providing foreign billets to West Point. (This has to do with the
desire of the son of General Vang Pao to attend West Point.) General Furlong
said he would check and let us know.
