Schmitt (R., N. Mex.), on a referral from Sena o Lowell Weicker
(R., Conn.), wanted to review the sensitive material which was
delivered for Senator Weicker's reading on Friday, 17 March. I said I

++ V ?. W- 1J V QUID Senate Select Committee on Intelligence staff, who said Pat Norton, also
of the Committee staff, was considering the possibility of open counter-
intelligence hearings in May related to Committee charter questions. Evans
asked our opinion of whether the following questions could be dealt with in
open session: the scope and nature of the threat of foreign intelligence and
security services, the kinds of activities needed in response to the threat
and the extent to which these activities impact on rights of Americans
provisions in the Committee proposals. Evans said he was also looking
for recommendations on whether there should be an Agency or FBI spokesman
or both.

29. LIAISON Pauline Baker, Senate
Foreign Relations Committee staff, called to ask when she could expect
to receive the written response to the questions that had not been covered
at the 10 February 1978 Senate Foreign Relations Committee closed hearing
on foreign military presence in Africa. I told her that NFAC/25X1
CSS, was attempting to come to grips with this problem, but that, as had
told her previously, the analysts are really overloaded and have not been able
to address themselves to the large list of questions that she sent us. She
then went on to suggest that there is Senatorial pressure for a response and
that she has been successful so far in resisting pressure to send a letter
to the DCI. She then said that she had not yet received copies of the charts
(boards) that were used during the hearing. I apologized and said that I had
not recalled that a request for these charts had been made and that if such
a request was made I should have followed up on it. I told her that I would
look into getting copies over to her as quickly as possible and have passed_
the request on tol . 25X1

32. LEGISLATION Spoke with Pat Norton, 25X1
on the staff o ? the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, who said that,
in the context of the schedule for testimony on the intelligence charter
legislation, the Committee was considering inviting an Administration
witness to testify in the earlier stages of the hearings before receiving
testimony from public non-Government witnesses relating to individual rights
and counterintelligence. I told Mr. Norton that, in my view, it probably
would be more appropriate to schedule Administration witnesses, particularly
the DCI, after the initial round of public testimony on the charter legislation,
as previously contemplated by the Committee staff, rather than break up
the Administration testimony. We did agree, however that it would be
useful to have testimony focusing on counterintelligence and individual
rights in the early stages of the process, i. e. , before the non-Government
witnesses (such as the ACLU) likely to focus on this particular aspect of
the legislation. I told Mr. Norton I would discuss this matter with others
and would get back to him.
