11. LIAISON Called Jim Fellenbaum, Senate
Appropriations Committee staff, in connection with his call yesterday
to George Cary on language for incorporation in the Appropriations Act to
assure that CIA funds are available for obligation only for one fiscal year.
I suggested that he delete all the language after the colon, and substitute
language so that the provision would read as follows: "None of the funds
appropriated in this Act for programs of the Central Intelligence Agency
shall remain available for obligation beyond the current fiscal year; with
the withdrawal and restoration of unobligated balances being treated in a
manner consistent with applicable statutes, including 31 U. S. C. 701 et seq
and 50 U. S. C. 403g. " This language was coordinated with Comptroller,
Office of Finance, and OGC.
12. I I BRIE; ING Accompanied
and NE, to a pre-trip briefin session of g o Sena
tor James B.
Pearson (R. , Kansas) and David Bushong, Senate Select Committee on
Intelligence staff. The briefing went very well.

13. BRIE= ING Mark Moran, staff of Senator
Frank Church (D., Idaho), called in response to my earlier suggestion and
asked if we could arrange a breakfast session with the DCI and Senator
Church for sometime next week as a prelude to the Senator's trip to Cuba.
14. LIAISON Dave Newhall, in the office of
Senator Richard Schweiker (R. , Pa.), called to register a mild complaint
that Mary Francis Lowe, the Minority staffer on the Senate Human Resources
Subcommittee on Health and Scientific Research, was not permitted to review
the MKULTRA material on the basis that she didn't have a clearance. After
checking, I ca1re-Z Newhall back explaining that the preliminary arrangements
contemplated including a Minority staff member of the Subcommittee, and the
individual designated had been Spencer Johnson, Minority Counsel of the
Committee, but he had never showm up. I indicated that if Senator Schweiker,
as the Ranking Minority Member of the Subcommittee, wanted to have Ms. Lowe
involved, we would have no objection, but that it was too late in the day
to verify her security clearances with DOD, which apparently holds them.
It was agreed that we would check on the clearance status first thing in the
morning and Lowe would call toz--orrow to verify that everything is in order
before visiting the Agency to review the documents.

conc w?rr- f 'g.Lrdxng the attendance of various personal staff representatives
at this oirx;'s hearing.. Jones and I discussed this in some detail and
he mentioned that the problern is greater that just S. Res. 60 designees.
It also c~~?r; rs other personal representatives which members may have.
I told l~iu ;.leis was a matter o concern to us, as I was sure it was with
the Coxnrirdittee. We agreed to talk with our principals about this problem
and suggest that they take the matter up the next time they met on a
covert action briefing.
I also advised Miler Unat there were several types of documents
involved in our recent file discovery and some of them did not pertain
to the subject of drug testing, mere fore, we would separate those documents
which did not pertain to clru ;_, :J and make them available to the Senate
Select CoxYmitte staff separately from those pertaining to drug testing which
will probably be rna de available to both the Senate Select Committee staff
and the is r~:~te licirran i?.esources Subcommittee on Health and Scientific
Research ,staff. Miller said this procedure made sense to him.

who also works on the Subcommittee, were meeting with Senators Joseph R.
Biden (D,. , Del.) and James B. Pearson (R. , Kansas) that afternoon to get
further direction for their staff work. As Bushong saw the Subcommittee
activities, they are pointing toward approximately a week of hearings in the

Executive-. Order replacing r.,- n- 11652-is expected by 1.5 September 1977);
compartxx:ientation, 'declassification, unauthorized disclosure, and espionage.
I told Bushong that Legislative Office, NSA, had passed
to me liiorig's request for DCID 3. Bushong said it wasn't DCID 6`/3 that
they needed, but rather the annex to it. He said it was possible the Committee
already bad this document and he would check before asking me for it.

included It cite to an OGC paper done in the mid-1960's on unauthorized
disclos3tire. Bushong asked for a copy of this OGC paper.
