11. (Secret - JGO) Delivered to Mr. Ralph Preston, Staff Assistant,
House Appropriations Committee, a letter for Chairman Mahon from the
Director dated 6 December concerning withdrawals from the Reserves.
After a brief review of the purpose of the withdrawals, Mr. Preston noted that
this letter relates to monies 'that have already been spent. 11
Mr. Preston told me that the Appropriations Committee conferees are
meeting this afternoon on the supplemental appropriation. The question of
meeting of the appropriation conferees on the military appropriation bill is
still up in the air. He said the Chairman plans to take the foreign aid appro-
priation bill to the floor of the House tomorrow under a rule waiving points
of order. He noted that since the Chairman and principal Committee members
will be on the floor there will be little time for any conference meetings. He
told me also that no new continuing resolution is in the works to extend
expenditure authority beyond the 8 December termination date of the present
resolution. Mr. Preston told me there should be no difficulty with the Senate
amendment to the supplemental which provides for RFE/RL. 25X1A
12. (Confidential - JGO) Met with Mr. Richard Barton, Staff
Assistant, House Post Office and Civil Service Committee, who told me
that although the full Committee is scheduled to meet on 16 December, the
meeting may well be cancelled in the interim due to a lack of quorum.
He told me that the letter from Chairman Hebert concerning H. R. 11150
has been duplicated and will be placed at each Member's position the morning
of the hearing. I thanked him for his consideration.
13. (Confidential - JGO) Met with Al Westphal, Staff Consultant,
Hou..___ $e Forein Affairs Committee, who told me that the conferees are
stalemated on the foreign aid bill due to Senator Mansfield's (D. , Mont. )
position concerning the end-the-war amendment. He also told me that
the House had appointed conferees on S. 18, the Radios bill, but that he saw
no hope at this time of the conferees meeting on S. 18 prior to conclusion of
the conference on the foreign aid bill.

6. (Internal Use Only - PLC) The status of S 1438, the Ervin Bill,
was discussed with Miss Marcia MacNaughton, Staff Member of Sub-
committee on Constitutional Rights of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Miss MacNaughton stated that the bill had been voted on favorably without
amendment in executive session by the Judiciary Committee but has not
been reported out as the Committee report is still in draft. She stated
the report would be the same as the report submitted to S 782, an identical
bill, which was passed by the Senate in the previous Congress. I aked if
the Director's letter of 21 May 1971 to Senator Ervin requesting a full
exemption to S 1438 would be noted in the report since the report to S 782
contained a statement that the DCI accepted S 782 with the specific ex-
emptions granted. Miss MacNaughton stated that the statement would be
deleted; however, the Director's letter of 21 May would not specifically be
mentioned. She expected the bill would be reported out within a few days
and calendared for Senate vote. Miss MacNaughton was aware of the Agency's
exemption and the President's broad authority to grant other exemptions
in the House version. She felt the differences in House and Senate bills
would be taken care of in conference. Mr. Richard Barton, Staff Assistant
of Subcommittee on Employee Benefits, House Committee on Post Office
and Civil Service, was subsequently called, and he was aware of the status
of S 1438. He felt that Senator Ervin will probably seek an early Senate vote
and the bill will pass. The Hanley Bill (the House version of the Ervin Bill)
will not be considered by the douse Post Office and Civil Service Committee
until the early part of the next session.
7. (Internal Use Only - JGO) Returned the transcript of the testimony
of the Secretary of Defense before the House Committee on Armed Services on
Tuesday, 16 November, concerning H. R. 8856, a bill to provide an additional
Assistant Secretary of Defense, to Miss 'IKalinowski, of the Committee staff.
8. (Confidential - JGO) Met briefly with Mr. Al Westphal, House
Foreign Affairs Committee staff, who told me that as of noon today he does
not foresee any immediate action on S. 18, the Radios bill. At the earliest,25XlA
he does not see any consideration for meeting of the conferees until after
the completion of the conference meetings on the Foreign Aid bill.
- CA Staff, has been advised.
