SENATOR MCCARTHY INTERVIEWED
BOB GNEISER: "The Senate Foreign Relations Commi-
ttee has taken the first steps toward substituting a watch-
dog committee for present Senate supervision of the Central
Intelligence Agency. The committee would be composed of nine
senators, three from appropriations, three from armed servi-
ces and three from the Foreign Relations Committee."
"Senator Eugene McCarthy felt that this new watchdog
committee would help bridge the information gap."
MCCARTHY: "I think there's no question but what the
Congress is not being fully informed. I don't know about the
select committee, the special committee which. a -- to which.
the CIA does their report. Of course, when you say fully
informed, you have to interpret that as meaning that it ought
to be informed, to know the things that it ought to know.
Usually, when ever you raise the question to the CIA, they
say, '0h., you're going to be watching every agent. You're
going to have a congressman following every CI Agent around
the country. Around.' '- Well,. that's sort of nonsense as you
