1 LIAISON Met with Bill Miller, Staff
1
.
Director, Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, and informed
him that the Agency would be contacting recipients of funds under
the program beginning 9 October to inform them that the
Agency a been making the payments to them all along and would
continue to do so. I reminded Miller that we had first briefed
him on this about a year ago but that the program was just now
going into effect. I informed Miller that the Agency had no
unique insight into the recent deaths of Bulgarian defectors in
Europe but that we were attempting to learn what we could about
this. Regarding the Committee's follow-up questions on the
Kmpiles case (Chairman Birch Bayh's (D., Ind.) letter of
19 September), I informed Miller we would not be able to respond
in writing until after the Kampiles trial but would be glad to
meet with the staff to discuss orally any of the questions to
which the Committee needed prompt answers Miller agreed to this.
Miller also reported that Senator Malcolm Wallop (R., Wyo.) was
still exercised over the Epstein book Legend and the Committee
needs a highly detailed discussion of The charges made in the book.
