Tuesday - 5 June 1973
5. Talked to Bill Ashworth, Senate
Foreign Relations Committee staff, and told him the Committee would need
to look to the Joint Chiefs or the Department of Defense for the disposition
of national forces located outside their own country borders. See Journal
of 31 May 1973.
6. In response to his earlier question,
I called Bill Hogan, House Armed Services Committee staff, and told him
that the two and a half page memo mentioned by Patrick Gray during his
testimony before the Committee should be the memorandum of 6 July 1972

8. I met with Guy McConnell of the Senate
Appropriations Committee Staff and gave him a "refresher" briefing on a

of our "Watergate" hearings before the Armed Services Committee in
the very near future. I said we had made clear to the Senator we were
not enthusiastic about this, but of course the decision was his and in any
event so much had been leaking lately that it probably mattered little
whether the detailed transcripts were published or not.
10. (1 - I met with Senator Symington who gave
me a draft copy of the Foreign Relations Committee report on the hearings
regarding the ITT, the Agency and Chile. He asked for our comments as
soon as convenient "on a plain piece of paper. "
During the course of our conversation, Senator Symington said he thought
the Agency was "pretty well out of the woods" so far as the Watergate matter
was concerned but we could expect various legislative proposals designed to
restrict our freedom of action and protect us from political pressures so as to
ensure that we do not stray from the straight and narrow path in the future.
He expressed a personal view that it would be best for the Agency, and the
