Director
Central Intelligence Agency
Washington 25, D. C
4-2 17 (~, --
In view of discussions which have taken place
during the past several weeks, it has been suggested
that I raise with you again the question as to the
reaction of the Central Intelligence Agency to the
creation by the Foreign Relations Committee of a Sub-
committee charged with responsibility for the opera-
tions of your Agency in the field of foreign policy.
You will recall in this connection that when you ap-
peared before the Committee on Foreign Relations in
February, you responded to certain questions by stating
that you were unable to answer them but that you would
answer those questions if they were put to you by the
Subcommittees of either the Senate Armed Services or
Appropriations Committees.
What I wish to know now is whether a Subcommittee
of the Foreign Relations Committee, created for the
purpose of keeping itself informed of the activities
of the C`IA in fields related to the forei on policy of
the United States, would be able to receive without
restriction information on the same basis as that now
supplied to the Subcommittees referred to above.
It would be helpful if I could have this informa-
tion by the end of this week as I contemplate reporting
the resolution, a copy of which is enclosed, early next
l,reek. That resolution, as you know, was ordered favor-
ably reported on May 17 by a vote of 14 to 5.
Sincerely yours,
W. "Fulbrit
Chairman

Remarks :
Attached is a draft of a response to
Senator Fulbright's letter which I understand
Mr. Helms proposes to discuss with Senator
Symington on Wednesday. Note that the
question asked by Senator Fulbright is not
what we would do if the Senate passed the
McCarthy resolution but is what we would
do if a Subcommittee of Senate Foreign
Relations were formed. This is the basis
for my phrasing of the next to last sentence
in the third paragraph of the le S
