1. (Internal Use Only - GLC) LIAISON Tony Lapham, General
Counsel, advised me that in his conversation yesterday with Robert
Lipshutz, Counsel to the President, Lipshutz had told him that regarding
the reports to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and the House
International Relations Committee on foreign agreements pursuant to
the Case Act he had no objection to our proposal for reports going to
the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and ultimately to the Senate
Select Committee on Intelligence, but he recommended that we hold
up any reports to the House International Relations Committee pending
House action next week on oversight legislation for an intelligence
committee. I told Ilapnam that we would check with Norvill Jones,
Chief of Staff, Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and Bill Miller,
Staff Director, Senate Select Go;r. iittee on Int~ll~xe o reconfirm
the arrangements which we had proposed to them for the handling of
these reports.
Regarding reports on matters referred to the IOB, Lapham said
the matter was much less clear and it appears that Lipshutz will propose
some alternative procedure. He suggested that he and I talk with Bill
Miller about this on Monday.
