STAT SUBJECT: Conversation with I D/DCI/RMS, re
Legislative Liaison Function for the Intelligence
Community

as Director of an office which willL.include liaison with Intelligence
Community components and with the Hill. A legislative liaison person
STAT will report through I land will be responsible to us
in OLC as well on legislative matters. I have no problem with this
STAT organizational scheme and he plans to announce it as soon as
the reprogramming is signed.
2. I did, however, object to the naming o as the
occupant of the liaison position. I did so on the grounds that I did not

John has agreed to consider with me additional candidates for the job.
STAT He will not announce I I appointment to it but will make
STAT II available to during the remaining weeks of this
legislative session to help as needed in the reclamas.
3. We concluded on the notion that he will have to give
maximum time and attention to this matter himself; that I would try

to include him on reclama visits on the Hill with the Director and that
