for Peace Conference on CIA and Covert Actions, " to be presented on
13 September, a summary extract, and a copy of the outline of activities for

of Senator Frank Church's (D. , Idaho) desire to review the Intelligence

House Armed Services Committee, and told him that Representative Michael

Harrington was to hold a press conference today at 11:00 or 11:30 to disclose
more documents regarding Chile. In response to my query, Slatinshek said
both Chairman Hebert and Mr. Nedzi are "sufficiently agitated" and there is
no need for the Director to take the initiative in contacting them.

House Foreign Affairs Committee, referring to his recommendation to George
Cary last weekend that the Director call Chairman Morgan about the Harrington
revelations and in view of the fact that there is a great deal of agitation over
the leaks within that Committee and the House Armed Services Committee,
Czarnecki felt that a wcall at this time would serve no useful purpose. The
Director was so advised.
