11. THIRD AGENCY Called'Jim Hoobler,
Department of Justice, to inquire on the progress of FBI authorization
and appropriations. Hoobler says the Justice authorization is just about to be
reported (H. R. 12005). It provides annual authorization and a total amount
for FBI with no breakout for intelligence. He did not know how the House
Judiciary Committee was progressing on H. R. 12240 but would inquire. He
says the Subcommittee on State, Justice, Commerce and Judiciary of the
House Appropriations Committee has already marked up but not reported.
He thinks the FBI will wind up with an increase over the President's budget.
12, LIAISON Dan Childs, Senate Select
Committee on Intelligence staff, reported that he talked with Chairman
William D. Hathaway (D., Maine), Subcommittee on Budget Authorization,
about meeting with the Director and the Chairman said that he would take
care of it. Childs thinks that Chairman Hathaway means to call the
Director and conduct their meeting by phone.
13. LIAISON Called Chuck Snodgrass, House
Appropriations Committee staff, and arranged for the Director to meet
with him at 4:45 p. rn. on Tuesday, 9 May, in his office, H-135 of the

15. LIAISON Accompanied Senator Jake Garn
(R. , Utah) and Stan Taylor, Senate Select Committee on intelligence staff,
to a briefing by Sid Graybeal, D/OSR, on the Standing Consultive Committee,

Garn is receiving on SALT-related issues. After the meeting, Taylor met
with both of OER, to discuss the paper he has
written on the 1977 OE R publication on Soviet oil.
16. LIAISON Called Earl Eisenhower, Senate
Select-Committee on Intelligence staff, and discussed with him the timing
for the briefing on counterintelligence to be given to the Committee. Eisenhower
