1. (Unclassified GLC) Guy McConnell, Senate Appropriations
Committee staff, called to say that General Reid, Marine Corps Legislative
Liaison, had given him a copy of a memorandum dated 21 May 1973 from
General Cushman to Mr. Houston, OGC, regarding five memoranda which
should be provided the Committee. McConnell asked if I would get copies
of these memos and send them to him today. These memos and a copy of
the Hoover Report and Mr. Helms' memorandum of 28 July 1972 to the
Attorney General were provided the Committee staff later in the day.
2. (Unclassified - GLC) Talked with Marshall Wright, Assistant
Secretary of State for Congressional Relations, and asked him whether the
State Department had received copies of any of Mr. Helms' transcripts for
correction and sanitization. He said they had received no transcripts to
date. I told Wright that we would be processing Mr. Helms' testimony
where it was given in conjunction with the testimony of Agency witnesses
and would pouch it to Mr. Helms' if he (Helms) desired. Wright said he
would contact the Foreign Relations Committee and would see that Helms'
testimony before that Committee was pouched to him.
3. (Unclassified - GLC) Sally Horn, OSD/ISA, called with reference
to an inquiry the Defense Department had received from Representative
James Howard (D., N. J.) regarding the Penkovskiy Papers. She said they
have prepared a response to Howard which incorporates two paragraphs
of material taken from a confidential document which the Agency provided
DOD. She said she was sending us a copy of their proposed letter to
Howard for our comments and suggestions. She also said she hoped that
we would be able to declassify the two paragraphs which were taken from
the Agency documents.
