OFFICE OF LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL
Monday - 6 January 1975
Called General Furlong, DOD Legislative
Affairs, and told him we had asked our Personnel people to expedite the
shopping o.f .file. I told him there were some possibilities
but we do not want to be too encouraging because the openings here are few
and far between. I said we would be in touch as soon as possible. (This
is an applicant case on which Furlong had received an inquiry from
Representative Robin Beard.
`l? Alice Sherman in the office of Representative
Al Ullman (D. , Oreg.) called and inquired as to actions taken by the Agency in
combating illegal drug traffic. She stated that a constituent had written a letter
prompted by his reading of the book "The Politics of Heroin in Southeast Asia.
I suggested that she forward the letter to our office and we would assist in the
preparation of an appropriate reply. _.,._

OFFICE OF LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL
Called Paul Summitt
u Oconirni ee on Criminal Laws and Procedures staff, and advised him that
our report to Chairman John L. McClellan (D., Ark. ) commenting on the
Committee Print of S. 1, which codifies the criminal laws, would be delivered
to him today. He requested that a copy by handcarried to Karen Skrivseth,
Justice, who is clearing all reports for the Committee. I briefed him- generally
on our report and offered to discuss further the effects of section 1124 on
unauthorized disclosures upon the Agency and our own legislation for protecting
intelligence sources and methods. Summitt feels certain that the section will
be struck or greatly weakened when the bill is considered by the Senate in
the next session. According to Sumnmitt, the bill will be reported out without
hearings and calendared for floor vote at an early date-
