5. I I Called on Senator Joseph M. Montoya
(D., N. Mex.) and invited him to the Agency for breakfast with the
Director and any briefings he might desire. Montoya said that he would
be delighted to come and expressed the desire for briefings on the Agency
charter and organization, a briefing in some depth on Latin America, and
a rather cursory briefing on Southeast Asia. I suggested that, although we
would be very willing to brief him on Latin America as an entity, this
would be very time consuming if it were to be done in depth and thought
he might be better served on briefings of troubled areas. He agreed that
this would be a better approach and specifically requested Guatarnala and
Argentina be included. Additional countries which have been suggested by
William Broe, C/WH, are Haiti, Venezuela, Panama, and Ecuador. It
was agreed with Senator Montoya that I would check the Director's calendar

transferred to office, to be returned to this office tomorrow.

people had recently met with Senator William Proxmire (a member of the
Committee) and given him a briefing on the economic situation in Communist
China. Knowles said Senator Proxmire had mentioned this to him and had
commented that he had found the briefing most interesting and informative.
I obtained from the Joint Economic Committee some
8. Checked again with Colonel Glenn Smith,
Senate Preparedness Subcommittee staff, regarding the status of the Sub-
committee's hearings on worldwide U. S. commitments. Colonel Smith said
that no further plans had been made with respect to Secretary Rusk's
appearance in executive session and it was quite possible this would not
take place before the end of this session.
