14. At his request, met with Representative
Porter Hardy, Jr. (D., Va.) and his Administrative Assistant, Mr. Thad
Murray. Mr. Hardy was very interested in today's Allen-Scott report
relating to alleged testimony of General Robert Porter in executive session
before the House Foreign Affairs Committee relating to Soviet shipping in
Cuban waters. Mr. Hardy also noted that it had been reported separately
in the press that there are strategic missiles in Cuba and that a column by
Henry J. Taylor indicates that during Operation LANDFLEX in the Caribbean
they were photographed from submarines and that there are a large number
of Soviet submarines in the Caribbean. Mr. Hardy was advised that I had
no information on the Soviet alleged testimony by General Porter on Soviet
shipping but that the allegations concerning submarines and Soviet strategic
missiles are unfounded. Mr. Hardy advised that he would appreciate such
unclassified information that he might use in response to queries which he
has already received from the press and that this topic might be worthy of
a few minutes of consideration in Thursday's briefing.
Mr. Hardy very much regretted his inability to accept the Agency's
invitation to speak to the Mid-Career course on 19 May. Unfortunately he
will be leaving the city for a talk for which he has already committed himself.
15.1 Met with Mr. Boyd Crawford, Staff Director, 25X1
House Foreign Affairs Committee, and received from him on a temporary
loan basis a copy of the transcript of the hearings in executive session of
Tuesday, A ril 2 containing In discussing the
Allen-Scott report of today Mr. Crawford noted somewhat in jest that he
guesses the Committee does have some "bad boys."
16. ket with Mr. John R. Bla.ndford, Chief
Counsel, ouse Armed Services committee, and provided Agency employment
brochures which he had requested. Mr. Blandford noted in passing the
Pearson-Anderson treatment of the Greek crisis and noted that he assumed
that the Director would be greeted with the Greek question in his meeting with
the Subcommittee on Thursday.
With regard to the TSD exposition, Mr. Blandford regretted that he
would be unable to attend any time this week.
