MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: Handling of Agency Reserves with Senate Appropriations
Committee
1. In discussing the above subject today Bill Woodruff, Counsel,
Senate Appropriations Committee, made the following points:
a. Chairman McClellan definitely intends to review the
whole problem of Agency Reserves with the full CIA Subcommittee
in the near future. (Membership in the Subcommittee has been
formally established and consists of Chairman McClellan and
Senators Stennis, Pastore, Young, and Hruska. Jim Calloway
and Guy McConnell, of the staff, will both be involved in Agency
matters. )
b. McClellan's concern is not centered on the Agency as such
but on the fact that our Reserves represent a substantial sum
which the President can spend in almost any way he sees fit with-
out prior knowledge or approval of the Congress.
c. McClellan points out that in the past the Reserves have
been used more for political and military purposes than for
intelligence collection, and feels operations in this field, in
particular, should be undertaken only with the knowledge and
approval of the Subcommittee.
