STATINTL
2. Mr. Berger, Special Assistant to Director for Mutual
Security Harriman, requested that I review with him his draft of a
proposed revision for the House Foreign Affairs Committee pamphlet.
He desired that this be reviewed by the agencies separately rather
than in a group, and I stated that I would at least desire the PSB rep-
resentative to be present when we considered the revision. I then
talked with Mr. Boyd Crawford, Chief Clerk of the House Foreign
Affairs Committee, and he informed me that the Committee staff
study had in fact been based on a memorandum from Berger, and that
they had assumed that Berger had coordinated the memorandum before
submitting it. He agreed with me that at this point the best procedure
would be to recall those copies of the pamphlet which could be obtained
and not attempt to redraft it as this would point up the classified
sections and might arouse greater discussion. I subsequently in-
formed Mr. Berger that the CIA position would be to leave well enough
alone and not attempt to redraft. (See also memorandum for the
Director's Log, this date).
