17. LIAISON Spencer Davis, -Hate
Select Committec-on Intelligence staff called referring to a
story being done by NewsdaZ on posse le conflict of interest
arising out of the current employment of Larry Devlin, 25X1
Bill Colby, all former Agency employees, etc. I told Davis that
CIA employees arc subject to the conflict of interest statute
and rules which apply to Government employees generally. I also
reminded him of the DCI's action in terminating two employees
as an indication that active employees arc not to accord former
employees any different treatment than would be afforded a.
general member of the public. Davis felt that he could use
these arguments with Newsdy and I made arrangements for the
Office of Public,,,(lffairs to close the loop with Davis on this
issue.
1.8. LIAISON Called Howard Li.ebengood,
in the office of the Senate Minority Leader, to set up a session
with Senate Minority Leader Howard Baker (R., Tenn.) on

mation deserving of special handling and we wanted to be sure
Senator Baker was aware of it.

Bill Miller, Staff .rector, Sonate Select Committee on Intelligence,
for Bob Gambino, D/Security, and myself to see him on po
related information.
20. LIAISON Spoke with Dick Perle,
on the staff of the Senate Governmental Affairs Permanent Subcommittee
on Investigations, about his interest to see NIE 11-3-8, indicating
I hoped we could resolve this issue as we had in the past through
briefings but since we cannot I asked him to give me some time before
we go to issue on this because of the absence of clear precedents
of handling NIE's on the Hill. Perle said he would be more than
willing to give me whatever time I needed.
21. LIAISON Ed Levine, Senate Select
Committee on Tntcl1JgcacQ - ff, called on the Committee
ort, indicating that the copy of the report we had was
missingpa page and that he would send it to us. This page will

who needed an orientation briefing on CIA but was unsuccessful.

Senator John Glenn (D., Ohio), Chairman, Senate Governmental
Affairs Subcommittee on Energy, Nuclear Proliferation and
Federal Services, plus Subcommittee staff members Leonard Weiss,
Staff Director, and Leonard Spector. The briefing concerned
1950s. The Senator as well as the two staff members were
very interested in the subject and indicated they would like
additional briefings on nuclear-related topics such as
nuclear waste disposal. Spector indicated he would call me
regarding the Subcommittee's specific desires sometime next
week.
26. BRIEFING Accompanied
Assistant NIO/Africa, OER/NFAC,
am CSS/NFAC, to a briefing of Senator Jake
Ga.rn (R. , Utah) and Senate Select COn1 "i t_toe on Intelligen.e
staff member Stan Tay oar on Rhodesia. The discussion was
wide-ranging including the military, political and economic
situation. Senator Garn, who is taking a very strong line
in support of the transitional government in Rhodesia, did
not agree with the Agency's assessment of the Rhod?sia
situation. After the briefing, Stan Taylor said that Senator
Garn's personal staff member Dave Fitzgerald, who had just
returned from Rhodesia, thought he had been followed while
there, possibly by CIA. I told Taylor that this was ridiculous
but that I would confirm my views at the Agency and get a firm
answer back to him shortly.

30. LIAISON Winslow Wheeler, who
is on the staff of Senator Jacob K. Javits (R., N.Y.), called
in behalf of two members of the Public Broadcasting Service
in New York, Herbert Danska and Shicla Page. He said that
they were planning to do a TV program for a presentation in
the Miami area on the subject of how the Freedom of Information
Act operates. - As part of that, they were seeking interviews
with a number of Government agencies including the CIA. They
told him they had been turned down by our Public Affairs office
for an interview and had called Wheeler to see whether we
would be willing to reconsider. I checked with 25X1
Public Affairs, who said that we had agreed to meet with Danska,
but not to permit him to film the interview. Our reasoning was
that the filming would not be in our best interest. 25X1
reiterated our offer to meet with Danska. I called Wheeler
back, related the information to him suggesting that if Danska
wanted to meet with our people, he should call 25X1
whose number I provided. I was later informed y 25X1
that Danska did not call.

briefing by NFAC representatives was presented to Representatives

Relations staff, arranged the briefing and sat in aq, did two

and Gardner Peckham.
