Wednesday - 1 March 1978
1. LIAISON Called Jackie Hess, House
Select Committee on Assassinations staff, to indicate that we had
available material for review at Headquarters in response to the
Committee request of 21 February 1978. The Committee request
had sought a response no later than today.
2. LIAISON Cathy, in the office of
Representative Harold C. Hollenbeck (R., N.J.), called regarding
obtaining for a constituent MKULTRA-related material which was mentioned
in a newspaper article. I gave her the proper mailing address for our
Information and Privacy Coordinator.
3. LIAISON I spoke with Tom Latimer,
Staff Director, House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, on
several occasions regarding the Committee's hearing on CIA and the
/media scheduled for 15 March. The conversations were, for the most
part, centered around changing the date of the hearing from 15 March
to some later date. After an initial agreement on a changed date, he
called back and asked to switch back to the original date.
4. LIAISON I called Bill Miller,
Staff Director, Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, and asked
him how Senator Henry L. Bellmon (R., Okla.) had reacted to our
excisions with respect to the Panama debate. He said Senator Bellmon
appeared to be relenting somewhat from his demands and felt that in
the end the Senator would probably go along with the deletions. He
said the material is scheduled to come up on the floor at 4:00 p. m. on
Thursday and if no problems it will then go to the printer.
5. LIAISON Paul Powell, in the
office of Representative Bill Young (R., Fla.), called asking for
unclassified material with respect to the Soviet military buildup in
Cuba. He said Representative Young planned to participate in a joint
resolution against the buildup. After talking with C/CSS/
NFAC, I told Powell we had no unclassified material and said we would
be willing to come up and brief the Congressman on the subject. I also
indicated to him to the best of our knowledge there was very little in the
way of a Soviet buildup. A briefing was scheduled for tomorrow at 10:30 a. m.
