19. (Confidential - GLC:) After conferring with IC Staff, and
checking with the Director, I called Ralph Preston House Appropriations Committee
staff, on the question he raised earlier with on the request from the
Murphy Commission, Preston was interested in the statement in a letter from
Representative Peter Frelinghuysen to the effect that the Director and the Agency
were aware of the Commission's request. I told Preston our knowledge of the
request was limited to having received a copy of Frelinghuysen's letter to Chairman
Mahon. I said while we did not know the specific content of the investigative report
involved, we neither supported the request nor did we recommend against it. I
said the Director felt this was a matter for Mahon's decision. I did point out however
that it would probably be a good idea to check with DIA on this and we would do that
if he wished. Preston thanked me for the suggestion and said he would contact DIA
directly.
