6. LIAISON Met with Joseph
Stewart, in the office of the Senate Majority Leader, and
discussed the Director's letter to the President of the Senate
initiating the program for the handling of compartmented clearances
in the Legislative Branch. Mr. Stewart said the Senate Whips may
wonder why their staffs were not included for compartmented
clearances. He personally saw no need for such access. I told
him that this was very carefully considered and it was determined
that the clearances should not go to staff below the Senate and
House Majority Leaders. He again expressed support for the
Director's efforts but said that the Majority Leader would not
want to get out in front on this issue.
7. LIAISON I met with
John Swanner, Staff Director, House Committee on Standards
of Official Conduct, and discussed the status of the Committee's
response to the Director's letter requesting return of the notes
of the staff's review of CIA documents in reaction to the leak
of sensitive information. Swanner said that Deanne Seimer,
General Counsel, DOD, had called Chairman John J. Flynt (D., Ga.)
and confirmed the sensitivities of the NSA information made
available for staff review. Swanner doubted that the Committee
would force Leon Jaworski, Sepcial Counsel, of the House Committee
on Standards of Official Conduct, to return the notes. Swanner
said that we are at an impasse and the only thing he could suggest
is that the Agency should consider turning the whole matter over
to the FBI for investigation.
8. LIAISON Stopped by the
office of Kirk O'Donnell, office of the House Majority Leader,
in response to his call to discuss the issuance of compartmented
clearances to the Congress, and made arrangements to meet with him
Monday afternoon 31 July.
9. LIAISON Met with Tom Latimer, Staff
Director, House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and
gave him a copy of the Director's letters to House Speaker Thomas P.
O'Neill and the Vice President initiating the program of issuing
compartmented clearances to the Legislative Branch and a copy of
the approved guidelines. Latimer said that Chairman Edward P.
Boland (D., Mass.) strongly supports limiting sensitive clearances
to the permanent staffs of committees. He is constantly under
pressure by the Members forcing their personal staff onto Committee
matters. Latimer said he would be willing to assist if needed
when we contact the Chairmen of the other Committees.
