5. (Unclassified - RJK) LIAISON Evelyn Olsen, press aide
to Representative J. Kenneth Robinson (R., Va.), called concerning
a recent newspaper article which reported that a known KGB
officer had been installed as Chief of Personnel in the United
Nations. She had concluded that in this position an intelligence
officer, if he wished to, would have access to the personnel
and financial files of all UN employees and I agreed that her
conclusion was accurate.
6. (Unclassified - RJK) LIAISON Steve Emerson and
Jim Thessin, Senate Foreign Relations Committee staff, visited
Headquarters for a briefing on the prospects for a new oil
embargo by Saudi Arabia. NFAC representatives presented a
briefing. There were no follow-up items.
7. (Unclassified - RJK) LIAISON Spoke with Peter Visclosky,
on the staff of Representative Adam Benjamin (D., Ind.),
concerning events surrounding the arrest of William Kampiles
in Munster, Indiana, which is in the Congressman's district.
The Congressman had requested any information the Agency could
provide in throwing more light on the entire case. After
checking wit of General Counsel, and Public Affairs,
and based on , OLC, guidance, I informed Visclosky
that the Agency was ma ing no comment on the matter at this
time but that the FBI had issued two public statements and
that the Kampiles indictment is a public document available
from the U.S. District Court in Hammond, Indiana. Visclosky
appreciated our response and indicated that the Congressman's
district office was located in the same building as the District
Court.
9. (Internal Use Only - RJK) LIAISON Met with Norvill Jones,
Chief of Staff, Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and requested
that he review a 7 March 1967 memorandum for the record which
is part of an FOIA request. Jones did so and concluded that
there was no reason from the point of view of the Committee
why the document could not be released upon proper sanitization.
