WASHINGTON--SEN. J. WILLIAM FULBRIGHT, D-ARK., SAID TODAY HE
HOPED TO MEET SOON WITH SIA DIRECTOR WILLIAM F. RABORN TO DISCUSS
THE QUESTION OF CIA EMPLOYES PUBLISHING ARTICLES WITHOUT
IDENTIFYING THEMSELVES WITH THE AGENCY.
FULBRIGHT, CHAIRMAN OF THE SENATE FOREIGN RELATIONS OOMMITTEE,
HAD WRITTEN RABORN, A RETIRED ADMIRAL, AFTER PUBLICATION OF A RECENT
MAGAZINE (FOREIGN AFFAIRS) ARTICLE BY GEORGE A. CARVER JR.,
A CIA ANALYST. IT DEALT WITH THE NATURE OF THE VIET CONG IN SOUTH
VIET NAM, WHERE CARVER FORMERLY SERVED WITH THE U.S. AID MISSION,
BUT DID NOT DIENTIFY CARVER AS A GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE.
RABORN REPLIED THAT HE WOULD BE GLAD TO DISCUSS THE MATTER WITH
FULBRIGHT. NO DATE HAS YET BEEN SET FOR THE MEETING.
FULBRIGHT AIDES SAID HE WAS NOT SPECIFICALLY PROTESTING CARVER'S
ARTICLE OR NECESSARILY OBJECTING TO THE CIA'S POLICIES. HE
REPORTEDLY WAS MORE INTERESTED IN THE GENERAL SUBJECT.
ANOTHER HMBER OF THE FOREIGN RELATIONS GROUP, SEN. EUGENE J.
MCCARTHY, D-MINN., ALSO WAS KNOWN TO BE INTERESTED IN THE CIA
PRACTICE. MCCARTHY HAS PERENNIALLY ADVOCATED TIGHTER CONGRESSIONAL
OVERSIGHT OF CIA'S ACTIVITIES AND HAS BEFORE THE COMMITTEE NOW A
PROPOSAL TO SET UP A SPECIAL CONGRESSIONAL WATCHDOG COMMITTEE.
PROSPECTS FOR THE LATTER APPEAR REMOTE, HOWEVER, AND MCCARTHY,
FULBRIGHT, AND SOME OTHER MEMBERS ARE CURRENTLY SEEKING A
COMPROMISE THAT WOULD GIVE THE FOREIGN RELATIONS GROUP A ROLE IN THE
WATCHDOG FUNCTION OF AN INFORMAL SIX-MAN GROUP WHICH REVIEWS CIA
ACTIVITIES.
MEMBERS OF THE LATTER ARE DRAWN FROM THE SENATE ARMED SERVICES
AND APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEES. ONE MEMBER, SEN. STUART SYMINGTON,
D-MO., ALSO IS ON THE FOREIGN RELATIONS GROUP BUT SERVES ON THE CIA
SUBCOMMITTEE AS A MEMBER OF THE ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEE.
