tomorrow.
3, Met with Mr. Ralph Preston, House Appropriations
Committee staff, who told me that the question of whether the Military
Construction Subcommittee, chaired by Representative Robert Sikes (D, , Fla. ),
would be. invited to this year's briefing is somewhat up in the air, Although
the Military Construction Subcommittee was not invited in advance last year,
Representative Sikes prevailed upon Chairman Mahon as the hearing with the
Director was starting to allow attendance of the Military Construction Subcom-
mittee. Mr, Preston also noted that although there may well be a replacement
for Representative George Andrews on the Defense Subcommittee before the
date of the hearing, Chairman Mahon has not taken action to replace him as
yet,

5? Bill Woodruff, Counsel, Senate Appropriations
Committee, expressed to and me his views on community budget
practices in light of the changes in the intelligence structure. Woodruff
commented that it would be difficult for the Director to be held responsible
for the Fiscal 1973 budget and said all he thought the Committee would
expect from him this year would be a presentation of his views on tl~e subject
and how he proposes to discuss the community budget in his Fiscal 1974
presentation.
with David Martin, Senate Internal Security Subcommittee staff, a list
prepared by CI Staff of specialists in the field of Soviet and international
Communist activity who might be considered as potential witnesses for
testimony on the clandestine communist propaganda apparatus. I also
left with Martin copies of two unsourced documents on Communist party
organizations. I suggested to Martin that he use these documents sl;rictly
as source material without any direct quotation or attribution. He vas
most pleased to receive these two items which he had not seen before.
I mentioned the Subcom want to consider obtaining testimony
from such defectors as and others. Martin said this was
a good suggestion and asked if we could have these people get in touch with
him since he had no current contact with them.
Senate Internal Security Subcommittee staff, with reference to SourvJine's
call o our views on the publication of Agency testimony
on th case. I said our preliminary check had inciicated
we di not have a copy of the transcript of this testimony and it would be
very useful to us in responding to Sourwine's request to have access to it
again. Mr. Scott is presently reviewing the transcript but Sourwine said
we could pick it up sometime tomorrow.

living adjustment goes into effect, but that the bill would not be retroactive.
Mr. Fisher was advised.
