8. I I LIAISON Spoke several times during the
day with Frank Slatinshek and Bill I-logan, Chief Counsel and Counsel,
House Armed Services Committee, and then later in the afternoon while
on the Hill, Hogan advised that Chairman Lucien Nedzi (D., Mich.) had
agreed 99 percent with the proposed sale of the residual assets of
Air Americ t was reserving the one percent until. he had in hand
s written report. Chairman Nedli gave us the go ahead to explain
the n.iattcr to Chairman Jack Brooks, House Government Operations
Committee. An appointment was set for 2:30 p. rn. on Monday, 3
November with the Chairman.
9. I ILEGISLATION Called Pat Holt,
Chief of Staff, Senate Foreign Relations Committee, regarding the
McGovern amendment, #959 to H. R. 9005, and said that it would
appear to be in the best interest of the United States as a whole that
the McGovern amendment not b'e pushed and he agreed that it would
not hurt to see Senator McGovern on this either directly or raise this
point with him indirectly with another Senator. Although there is
nothing to stop a member of Congress from introducing such proposals,
I argued the fact that these things are reported to six committees of
Congress and assures a fairly broad cross section and that every effort
should be made to channel reactions privately back to the Executive Branch
rather than publicly in amendments such as this.
10.1 I LIAISON Spoke with Benson
Buffham, DD/NSA, and provided some suggestions with respect to
dealing with a particular Subcommittee.
