18. (Unclassified - LLM) Discussed with Prissy, in the
office of Representative Torbert Macdonald (D. , Mass.), her concern
of the error in a TASS broadcast in English from Moscow confusing
their Mr. Macdonald with Representative Larry McDonald (D., Ga.. )..
They became aware of this as a result of our distribution of the F73IS
take. I said I was quite sure that this was not a misinformation: project
directed at their member and that there might be a simple explanation
arising out of the similarity of the names. I told her that if they went
to TASS to get a correction, we would prefer if she could handle it
without making reference to the Agency.
19. (Confidential -- LLM) In response to her call, Dorothy-
Fosdick,- Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, Senate Government.
Operations Committee staff, was advised that Mr. Duckett, DDS&T, would.
be available to initiate: his briefing on Soviet,.weapons systems at 09',0
on Monday, 2 June, rather than 10:00 as originally scheduled.
20. (Unclassified - LLM) Called J. Sourwine, Chief Counsel,
Subcommittee on Internal Security -31 and
asked him if he could check to see if I lever testified STAT
before any congressional committees. Sourwine said he would have
Mary Dooley, Research Assistant, check and be back in touch with us..
21. (Unclassified - PLC) Attended a symposia on the Freedom of
Information and Right of'Privacy Acts given by the Civil Service Cothmission.
Speakers were drawn from Committee staff, Justice, Defense and HEW.
Also, Mr. Victor Kramer of the Georgetown Law Center spoke r. epresenti.ng
the private sector. From the comments of the various agencies, it is
apparent that there are serious problems, particularly in reconciling the
inconsistencies between both acts. Justice is presently considering issuing
a recommendation to all agencies that they handle under the Privacy Act
when it becomes effective in September all requests from. individuals seeking
to know what information agencies have concerning them. Presently, these
requests are being processed under the Freedom of Information Act,.
