5 - CM) CONSTITUENT Dem Cowles,
of the stet, :t of Senator Mike ravel (D., Alaska), called on behalf
of I I of Fairbanks, a U. S. citizen who claims that STAT
personal photographs that he had taken were taken away from him
when he returned to the U. S. from Russia two years ago, and that
he had also suffered the interception of his mail; he thinks the FBI
and CIA did it. I urther clams that he has been denied STAT
access to his files, despite FOIA sts. He now has read that
a class action suit is being brought against CIA alleging invasion
of privacy, and would like to join the suit. I told Cowles that the
story sounded bizarre, and he agreed. I noted that CIA has no
border responsibilities or internal security functions. I recommended
that he contact the FBI and the Customs Service, and said I would
check our FOIA records to see if I iad made a request to STAT
CIA. I also suggested that he check with the Justice Department
on any suits pending against the CIA. He said he would do so.
6. LIAISON Per his request, forwarded
some ol. the 7/707 le as - o Nicholas Soarnes, in the office of
Senator Mark Hatfield (R, , Ore. ). I promised to have two more for
him in a clay or so.
Brand hoped to have the Clerk's letter,
Laphamt s, General Counsel, letter on the
Agency completed sometime next week.
