Dear Mr. Colby:
At the direction of the Committee on Foreign Relations,
Richard M. Moose and Charles F. Meissner of the Committee staff
will be traveling to Southeast Asia, departing Washington about
April 3, for a period of approximately one week to ten days.
The Committee has asked Messrs. Moose and Meissner for an
up-to-date examination of the political, economic, military and
refugee situations in Vietnam and Cambodia.
As in the past, we would appreciate the full cooperation of
the Central Intelligence Agency in helping arrange Executive Branch
briefings in Washington, briefings in the field and appointments
for Messrs. Moose and Meissner. Their desires with regard to
these matters will be provided to your staff. We are writing to
the Secretaries of State and Defense asking them to designate an
officer of their Department to coordinate these arrangements. It
would be appreciated if you could also designate someone in the
Central Intelligence Agency to assist in this task.
Upon their return from this trip, Messrs. Moose and Meissner
will be asked to prepare a classified report for the Committee. In
the event Committee members subsequently decide to issue a public
version of their report, we will consult with the Executive Branch,
as in the past, to ensure adequate protection for information
affecting the national security.
Sincerely,
bhn Sparkman
Chairman
