LIAISON Received a call from Elliot Maxwell, Senate Select Committee on Intelligence staff, who said he would be unable to address the Senior Seminar as he had previously agreed because of a meeting just called at the NSC on the new Executive Order. I asked Anne Karalekas, also of the Committee staff, to fill in but she is attending the same meeting Maxwell is. I next asked Ed Levine, also of the Con.ttee staff, to fill in and he agreed. ' It is set for 26 September at 1:00 p.m. I asked Maxwell about Senator Walter D. Huddleston's (D., Ky.) letter of 19 September pertaining to use of Section 102(c) of the National Security Act. The letter asked for a 15 year breakdown on use of the section. I told Maxwell a five year breakdown was readily available but that a compilation of statistics for 15 years would require about three weeks of work. I asked Maxwell if he thought five years was a sufficiently lengthly period for the Committee's use. He said to send him the statistics for five years as soon as possible and he would see if anything else was needed and let me know. 8. LIAISON Called John Elliff, Senate Select Committee on Intelligence staff, in an attempt to get a final word if Senator Birch Bayh (D., Ind.) could speak at a Latin America COS Conference on 3 October.' Elliff reported that he could not. I then called Torn Moore, also of the Committee staff, and asked him to check whether Senator Gary Hart (D., Colo.) might appear before the group. Moore said he would let me know on 26 September. elease 2005/09/28 : CIA-RDP79M00983A001500050025-1 Apfwoved For. ase 20P79M00983A~15000 00 ~ 25-1 tin .~ #4 Addendum to Journal - Office of Legislative Counsel Thursday - 8 September 1977 6.

Shulsky asked the status of comments being prepared on S. 1950, Senator Moynihan's proposal regarding Soviet SIGINT activities. After checking, I informed Shulsky that.the Executive Branch was in no position to comment until PRM-22 decisions were made, this would not be for about two weeks. Shulsky said it is his understanding had prepared25X1 some studies on this problem for the White House Office of Telecommunications Policy. Shulsky asked if this was so and if he could see the studies. I told him I would try and find out if such studies existed, however, he would have to make a request to review the reports with the White House. 7.

Subcommittee on Administrative Practice and Procedure, Senate Judiciary Committee, and expressed our concerns that it would not be a balanced hearing. Taylor said he did not believe Senator Jake Garn (R., Utah) would be in a position to act since he was not a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Taylor said he would mention it to him, and perhaps Senator Garn would speak to Senator Orrin G. Hatch (R., Utah), who is a Member of the Senate Judiciary Committee. 8.
