Tuesday - 3 May 1977
1. LIAISON Received a call from Rick
Grawey, House Government Operations Subcommittee on Manpower and
Housing staff, who inquired as to whether we had received a formal
letter from the Civil Service Commission advising that it has reversed
its policy denying Civil Service retirement benefits to reemployed
CIARDS annuitants. I told him that we had not yet received it; however,
Mr. Tinsley, Civil Service Commission, has advised the Agency that
the policy has been reversed and he is working out certain details which
he hopes to complete very shortly. Grawey said that Tinsley promised
him a copy when it is completed and he will continue to press Tinsley
for its issuance.
2. LIAISON Received a call from Craig
Pettibone, Civil Service Commission, who furnished further references
to decisions of the Comptroller General concerning reemployed annuitants.
Pettibone noted that Mr. Tinsley, Civil Service Commission, has
reversed the Commission's policy and reemployed CIARDS annuitants
will be eligible for Civil Service retirement. They are, however,
reviewing existing policy by which Foreign Service annuitants have been
found immediately eligible for Civil Service retirement benefits without
having to wait the five-year qualifying period as Mr. Tinsley had
mistakenly thought was required in our earlier discussions. If the
Commission finds that this policy must be continued, it will be applied
to reemployed CIARDS annuitants and they will not have to be in the
system for five years to qualify. He will let me know when their
decision is made.

4. LIAISON Called DIA,
for his reaction if we grant compartmented clearances to William
Jackson, personal staffer to Majority Whip, Senator Alan Cranston
(D., Calif. ), since this would be a change to Agency policy denying
clearances to other than permanent staff members of committees.
We discussed the broad responsibilities of the leadership of the
Congress and the overriding need for compartmented clearances for
those personal staff members whose assistance is required. I
felt that the proposal was sound and concurred fully on. behalf of DIA
and other elements of the Community within Defense. I told him that
this requires the approval of the Director and we would pass his
concurrence along in our recommendation to him.
5. LIAISON Received a call from
John Butcher, GAO, concerning GAO's survey of Privacy Act requestors
soliciting their comments on the manner in which agencies handled their
requests. Butcher said they will have to indicate in their report that
CIA felt it could not provide the names of requestors to GAO and,
therefore, did not participate in the survey. He asked if this would
present any problems. I told him that we did not consider it proper
to provide these :names and we would stand by our decision.
6. LIAISON Debbie, of the office of
Representative Clement J. Zablocki (D. , Wis. ), called requesting
information for a constituent, about the Agency. An information
package was forwarded to her.
7. ADMINISTRATIVE-DELIVERIES I left
information on FBIS for Mark Levinson, in the Congressional office of
Speaker Thomas P. O'Neill (D., Mass.), in response to Levinson's request
of 29 April 1977, on behalf of a constituent.

hearings.
15. LIAISON Met with Evelyn Chavoor,
Senate Select Committee on Intelligence staff, and informed her of a
change in the number of a records control schedule recently submitted
to the Committee. I also informed Chavoor that the Agency had
received approval from the National Archives and Records Services
for the destruction of approximately 8, 000 additional cubic feet of
files and that this made establishment of Senate Committee procedures
for approving destruction all more imperative.
16. LIAISON Met with Barbara Chesnik,
Senate Select Committee on Intelligence staff, and gave her copies of
decisions in certain FOIA cases where the issue of the Director's
sources and methods authorities was litigated. I asked her if she was
planning to visit Headquarters to review Agency maps as Audrey Hatry,
Chief Clerk, Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, had suggested.
She said what she really needed was a gazateer, not maps. I agreed
to see whether the Agency produced one.
17. LIAISON Discussed with Hal Ford
and Ted Ralston, Senate Select Committee on Intelligence staff, the
scheduled 4 May Committee meeting regarding the Subcommittee on
Collection, Production and Quality study of the A Team-B Team
exercise. I again told Ford it would be impossible to have the
Director's comments to the Committee before the meeting but agreed
to obtain a letter from Mr. Robert R. Bowie, D/DCI/NI, to Senator
Adlai E. Stevenson (D., Ill.) explaining the delay.
18. LIAISON At his request, I sent a
copy of the unclassified "National Basic Intelligence Fact Book" to

Senate Select Committee on Intelligence staff, and asked him if he had
finished his review of the separate security agreements covering
compartmented information which the Office of Security wants staff

suggesting a few changes. He said he would find the material and get
it to me in the next couple of days.

20. LIAISON Accompanied
C/CCS, and OLC, to a meeting with Bill Miller, Staff
Director, Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, to discuss an
anticipated Chicago Sun Times expose on certain Agency cover
arrangements.
I reminded Miller that the Agency was eager to give briefings
to new Committee members Daniel P. Moynihan (D., N. Y.), James B.
Pearson (R., Kans.) and Richard G. Lugar (R., Ind.), and Miller said
he would try to set these up.
I informed Miller of my discussions with Elliot: Maxwell, Senate
Select Committee on Intelligence staff, on separate compartmented
security agreements and of the fact that the Agency had an additional
8, 000 to 10, 000 cubic feet of material ready for destruction, pending

of Senator Howard Baker (R. , Tenn.), called with a question on his
personal clearances. He said that he had worked on former Secretary
of State Henry Kissinger's staff, where he had compartmented clearances,
until Inauguration Day. He has recently joined Senator Baker's staff
and the Senator has written a letter to the Department of Defense
requesting a reinstatement of Janney's clearances. I told Janney that
there was no requirement for a separate CIA clearance since this
Agency would recognize the clearance granted by DOD.
29. LIAISON Received a call from
__
I who said that he had been contacted
F
by a James Leonard of the Dayton office of the GAO. Apparently,
Leonard is seeking an Agency briefing on the Soviet Backfire aircraft.
Leonard was attempting to determine whether he could get an ad hoc
compartmented clearance for the briefing. I told we would look
into the matter and be back in touch with him. I learned later that
Leonard had also requested this briefing through the Office of Weapons
Intelligence /DDI.
30. LIAISON Called Peggy Papp, Legislative
Assistant to Representative Manuel Lujan (R. , N. Mex.) to get her date
of birth and social security number. I explained to her the reason for
this was to obtain a one-time clearance for her so that she could be

Staff Member, Office of Technology Assessment, to introduce myself
and to suggest to Dr. Fitzgerald that our office would. be proper for
contacts between OTA and the Agency. We scheduled. a meeting for
13 May 1977 to discuss the Materials Resource Program of OTA. This
call was prompted. by a letter from Dr. Fitzgerald to
CPS/DDI, in which Dr. Fitzgerald suggested that OTA could benefit
from Agency capabilities to present briefings on the International
Materials Resources. This letter, which evolved as a result of a
professional relationship, was sent to me from Dr.
Fitzgerald. requested a copy of the unclassified study on ''Prospects
