on the staff of the Subcommittee on International Trade and Commerce,
House International Relations Committee, to see what the disposition

suggestion.

10. (Internal Use Only - RJK) LIAISON Spoke with Clara
Buchanan, Senate Foreign Relations Committee staff, and told her
that
she requested for John Ritch, on the Committee staff, to her by

and she agreed to these ground rules.
11. (Internal Use Only - RJK) LIAISON Brian Benson, Senate
Republican Policy Committee .staff, called requesting background infor-
mation on the recent Agency paper on Soviet military expenditures.
After discussions with OCI, called
Benson and agreed to allow Benson to visit the Agency on 9 April

12. (Internal Use Only - RLB) LEGISLATION Spoke with.
Jon Holstine, on the staff of the Subcommittee on International Operations,
House International Relations Committee, to get a final reading on how
the Subcommittee dealt with Senator William W. Proxmir.e's (D. , Wis. )
"gift" amendment during the Subcommittee's mark-up session on Tuesday,
6 April. He stated that the gift amendment was not considered by the
Subcommittee and, consequently, would not appear in. their version
of.the bill. He said that he was working on getting out a Subcommittee
version of the bill and would make it available to me. We agreed that
the next step would be to make certain that the full Committee did not
take up the gift amendment, and later to approach the Senate conferees
and attempt to have them recede on the inclusion of the amendment. As a
fall back position, John rioted that he will retain our remedial language,
but that if it became nece ;sary to use that technique he would consult
with me and we would maize certain that the language was not attributable
to the Agency.
