MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
Morning Meeting of 3 June 1969
3 June 19 69
The Director was at the White House. DDCI was in the chair.
Godfrey pointed to two cables from Uruguay and one from Chile
assessing the situation there in light of Governor Rockefeller's pro-
jected visit. He noted that Ambassador Korry had observed that every
political group in Chile has expressed opposition to the visit and advised
that there may be a ground swell of reporting which argues for cancella-
tion of Phase III of the Governor's mission to Latin America.
DD/S reported that last week they completed the review of con-
tractor files at ten universities, encountering opposition to the removal
of excess material only at the working level at Columbia University. In
the case of Columbia, however, when senior officials were consulted,
they asked that the files be purged. In response to the DDCI's question
DD/S noted that the files at seven universities remain to be reviewed
prior to completion of this task.
Carver noted that it is relatively quiet in Vietnam. He reported
that he spent one hour with Secretary Laird yesterday on NSSM No. 36,
Vietnamizing the War, and commented that State is dissenting from
the paper and disassociating itself from the DOD position.
Maury reported that er the Director's request he advised Frank
Slatinsheck to contact for the figures he requested com-
paring the Agency's budget with those of other elements of the intelligence
community.
Maury recalled that had briefed the American
Republics Affairs Subcommittee of the Senate Foreign Relations Com-
mittee on insurgency in Latin America. He noted that Pat Holt is now
requesting a similar briefing for the full Subcommittee on the Western
Hemisphere. Holt has made it clear that they do not wish to bother the
Director with this briefing, which is tentatively scheduled for 16 June.

Maury reported that the Director's appearance before the Defense
Subcommittee of the Senate Appropriations Committee is now set for
9 June commencing at 10 or 10:30 a. m. , with approximately two hours
having been set aside. He noted that is working on the
briefing, which will be concerned with the Soviet threat.
Maury reviewed his problem in responding to the request of Alton
Frye, Senator Brooke's staff assistant, for a briefing on the SS-9 and
ABM problem. After consulting with several staff members on the Hill,
Maury noted that he called Mr. Frye and advised him that our ground
rules prevent the briefing of staff assistants, therein leaving the ball
in his court to appeal this position. DDCI asked Maury to raise this
problem at tomorrow's meeting. Maury noted that he will be with
Senator Baker in the morning but that ill comply.
Houston called attention to the item in today's Baltimore Sun
reporting on He commented that he will be happy
to brief the on t e background of this case at his convenience.
o-
DD/S&T initiated a lengthy discussion on what appears to him to
be an inconsistency in prior approval processes connected with over-
flights vs. peripheral flights in terms of 303 Committee approvals.
Bross noted receipt of a memorandum from Deputy Secretary Packard
pertaining to peripheral flights and noted that the memorandum has
precipitated a study group to be formed under the chairmanship of
Gardiner Tucker, Acting Deputy Director of Defense for Research
and Engineering. Bross noted that the addressees on the memorandum
include the full membership of the 303 Committee and that we must
decide who will represent the Agency on this study group.
DD/S&T noted that he had a good session yesterday with Paul
Nitze, who recently joined the DD/S& T Strategic Intelligence Panel.
Executive Director asked that each Executive Committee member
serve up his summer leave schedule.
