10. I I Called Jack Boos, I-Iouse Arx~rred Services
Committee s a ~ , o e l~iim t at we still had the letter to Speaker A}.bert
very much in mind but probably would be discussing it: with some }:cey people
on the Hill. I asked that he pass this on to Chairrnan J.ucien Nedzi, Ini:ellifi;eYxce
Subcommittee (and House Select Committee on Intelli re:nce) arrd he said h.e
would. I also told oas a e xrec or a:n would like t:o set:
up a meeting with Nedzi soon and that I would be back in: touch with him e~.rly
next week about this. I asked him how things were prog:rE~:ssirxg with t}ze kie}.erct:
Committee and he said rather slowly, IIe comxnen.ted they leave scat clra.fts.
of Committee rules and regulations to the members for cansicleratio:n acid
carnment. I thought it appropriate to mention fi:o him again our hope that t:he
Committee would decide to utilize secrecy agreements. ~,vith thc: Cox~nmii:tec:
staffers. Boos said it appeared they would and meat ionecl they have boon
reviewing the draft secrecy agreement which we provided him.
11: I I Dick Moose, Senate Foreign I~.c.lai:iorls
Committee s~I , ca e an as e if the briefing an Vietnarzz'ancl Caxxat,oclia.
which was postponed for Senator Diclc Clark could. be reschedulecl for Mo~~day
at 10:00 a, m. T called Moose back and said }VIO~SL;15., was
tied up at that time and arrangements were made for the bric..fir~~, at` i~:00 p. n-x.
in room 404 Old Senate Office Building.
12. called FranIc Sla.tixishek, C}7icf Gotx.x7sel., IJou:;c
Armed Services Committee, late this afternoon to express the Director's concern
about the release of the testimony of sit:. related to 25X1
certain NSA activities. Slatinshek said when it was returned f:o Bill. Rogan,: of
the Committee staff, with our suggestions for sanitization b.e sezb.,ecluentl)T x-xlacl.e
it available to the press and, therefore, he feels it would be cliffictxTt Lo clelet:e the
reference we are concerned about. I made two points in this regards fir si: t:}.eat
when eturned the ~ testimony to Hagan on l3 December 1~~
he strongly recommended to Hogan that he contact NSA also since the teCtinlony
dealt with certain NSA activities. We naturally assumed Hogan waul.d rnak~ this
cantact. Further, it seemed to me that regardless of whc;thcr sornc n~cmbc:rs of
the press have had access to the transcript, the Comrnit:tee could st%l.). cl.elei:e
that testimony from the hearing as they are published. Slatinshe}c said he vt=ould
be reviewing this matter Monday morning and would see what: cou}.d be done
but he didn't appear optimistic.
