1. LIAISON Called Dan Childs,
Senate Select: Committee on intelligence staff, and set up
the briefing he had previously covert a on for
Monday, 17 July, at 2:00 p.m. 25X1
both of CA/DDO, and Don Gregg, C PCS LOCI, W L. I attend.
2. LIAISON Received a call from
Ed. Levine, Senate e ec.. .ommittee on Intelligence staff,
on the secure ;ine. Levine gave me a list of issues the
Committee would like addressed in the presentation on the
"spy war" before the full Committee. The date for the
presentation is unclear. Levine also asked me two questions
about the case.
3. LIAISON Called Leonard Weiss,
Staff Director, Senate Governmental Affairs Subcommittee on
Energy, Nuclear Proliferation and Federal Services, to inform
him we could find no indication that there was any truth to
the story in the Now York Times magazine that former counter-
intelligence staff director James Angleton had passed nuclear
technology to the Israelis. I told Weiss that this was based
on two factors. First, I had contacted all appropriate
people here and no one had any knowledge of this and second,
Angleton would,:have hadno access to this information as
chief of counte` intell:i_gencc staff. Weiss seemed somewhat
skeptical but accepted this response. I also offered Weiss
a briefing on a late 1950s accident at a Soviet nuclear
installation. The briefing had been requested some months
ago but was held up until Weiss could get the appropriate
clearances, which he now has. Weiss said he would see if
Senator John Glenn (D., Ohio) wanted to be briefed on this
subject and would get back to me.

1 rori Bill Miller, Staff I)irector, Senate Solt Committee on
Intelligence, requesting a change in the 1}'fng of the
