25X1 1. I I LIAISON Jim Bush, House Permanent
Select Committee on Intelligence staff, called to say that the Budget
Authorization Subcommittee may be looking into HUMINT over the next
v ten months. They feel they are still less familiar with this area than
any other part of intelligence. Bush intends to call John McMahon, DDO,
and ask for a list of previously done studies so they don't duplicate anything
already done.
25X1 2. I BRIEFING Accompanied iI 25X
25X1 NFAC/ORPA, to a briefing of
Duke Short, who works for Senator Strom Thurmond (R., S. Car.) on
the Senate Judiciary Committee. The subject covered in the briefing was
a report the Senator had received about a possible serious incident in
the Canal Zone. Short was told that he had received the same information
that Minority Leader Howard Baker (R., Tenn.) had been briefed on. This
seemed to satisfy him and he said it would not be necessary for us to brief
the Senator.
25X1 3. ADMINISTRATIVE DELIVERIES Delivered
a box of slides, which the Agency had borrowed, to Representative Paul
Findley (R., Ill.) and left word with Bob Wickser, of the Congressman's
staff, that the Agency people very much appreciated the Congressman
making the slides available to us.

11. LIAISON Called Joe DiGeorgio,
GAO, to provide him with the follow-up to our eeting on 17 April
(See Journal item for 17 April). I told Mr. D' Georgio that there
are intelligence reports that his team mem rs will be shown in the
various stations they are visiting. Some these reports are so sensitive
that the team members may only be brie ed orally on them and that these
reports will definitely not be forwarde to the GAO regional base for subsequent
analyzing. I told Mr. DiGeorgio that each ;nili r r1?~1

be made on each one. He asked ether decisions had been made on the
I_- !;
that his team had requested, and I told
him that they had not yet been cided upon and hoped to have an answer
early next week. Mr. DiGeor io said that he was less concerned with being
given access to reports than of knowing what. the; ground rules would .be.;", I
told him I would make ever effort to get ground rules firmly established
as early as possible. In r sponse to his request that we inform other agencies
located in the countries t be visited that they are free to make available
our reports on terroris I told Mr. DiGeorgio that under no circumstances
could or would we issue that kind of blanket direction with regard to our
reports.
Staff Director, House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and made
i
an urgent request that the Committee obtain the transcript from the 20 April
Subcommittee on Oversight, chaired by Representative Les Aspin (D. , Wis.
hearing. I said that today's article in the Washington Post on what the Director
said with regard to ambassadorial access to identity of CIA sources with whom
the ambassador is in regular contact has caused considerable anguish and that
we are anxious to rebut the interpretation provided in the Post. After
several phone calls and considerable effort on the part of the Committee the
portion of the transcript relating to ambassadors was obtained and I picked
the transcript up at 3:30 and forwarded a copy to all interested components.

of State, called and referring to the article in the Washington Post this
morning, asked if it accurately reflected the DCI's statements of yesterday
concerning the role of the ambassador. I told him "no" and added that we
were trying to get a copy of the transcript today. He asked if we could
send him a copy of the transcript when we received it; I told him we would.
I also mentioned that the DDCI had been in contact with Ben Read, Deputy
Under Secretary for Management, Department of State, and had assured
him that the~Post article was in error.
House Select Committee on Assassinations, called and said he felt the 7
restrictions we had placed on the Committee's access to raw documents
was unworkable. I told him that I felt the restrictions were necessary to
maintain the physical control over the documents. He said that he thought
we should discuss the matter in person and we decided that we would meet
at 9:00 a. m. on 22 April to go over the full range of security problems
arising out of Committee business,
