OFFICE OF LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL
Tuesday - 29 February 1972
1. (Secret - GLC) Met with Bill Woodruff, Counsel, Senate Appro-
priations Committee, to see if we couldn't work out some alternative means
of handling Senator Case's questions on Soviet ICBMs at a lower classification
level through Woodruff. I showed him a less complete yet responsive answer
to the Senator's questions. The revised response is classified "secret. "
Woodruff suggested an alternative which would involve passing the answer
back to Senator Case through Mr. William Mills, of the Senator's staff,
through whom the original request had been made. I told Woodruff I would
be back in touch with him on this tomorrow.
2. (Secret - GLC) In response to his request, I hand-carried to
Mr. Pat Holt, on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee staff, a biographic
sketch on ~
STATOTHR
3. (Unclassified - GLC) I provided Senator Robert Taft's (R., Ohio)
office with a suggested reply to a constituent inquiry fro
ml-
concerning allegations of Agency involvement in illicit drug traffic abroad.
4. (Secret - GLC) Left with George Murphy, Joint Committee on
Atomic Energy staff, a brief statement which he could use if he is pressed
further by Senator George Aiken (R. , Vt.) on the subject of the alleged sale
of jet aircraft to Guatemala by Israel. Murphy said he would put the statement
with the Committee's transcript.
In response to his request about the Henry J. Taylor column on an
alleged briefing of the President by the Secretary of Defense on Red China's
atomic capability, I told Murphy that except for Lop Nor we still regard
association of the other locations with China's atomic energy programs as
classified although there have been some references to some of them in
unclassified publications.

12. (Secret - JGO) Met with Mr. Ralph Preston, House Appropriations
Committee staff, who told me that he has received the OMB letter on the
Agency budget which sets forth in part the availability of funds for the
Agency to cover the shortage in the budget amounts forwarded by the Department
of Defense. Mr. Preston asked that I be sure to remind him of the need for
inclusion of these amounts when the DOD supplemental comes before the
Committee. Mr. Charles Briggs, OPPB, has been advised.
13. (Internal Use Only - LLM) In followup of the decision to go the
legislative history route on S. 2515, Equal Employment Opportunities Enforce-
ment Act, met separately with key staffers representing the principal
Senators and Representatives on the conference committee and they all
endorsed the insertion of the essence of our suggested statement in the
conference report:
"In providing the statutory basis for such appeal or court access,
it is not the intent of the Committee to subordinate any discretionary
authority or final judgment now reposed in agency heads by, or
under, statute for national security reasons in the interests of the
United States. "
(The underscored words of art from the 102(c) authority were added to make
perfectly clear that the Agency was contemplated in this boiled down version
of our suggested statement. ) Involved in this determination were: from the
House Committee on Education and Labor, Chief Clerk, Donald Baker;
Director of the Labor Subcommittee, Robert Vagley; Chief Consultant, Tom
Hart, and from the Senate Education and Public Welfare Committee, Counsel,
Gerald Feder; Associate Counsel, Donald Elisburg, and Minority Staff General
Counsel, Eugene Mittelman, representing respectively Representatives Carl
Perkins (D., Ky.) and John Dent (D., Pa.) and Senators Harrison Williams
(D. , N. J.) and Jacob Javits (R. , N. Y. ).
Separately, Representative Albert Quie (R., Minn. ), Ranking Minority
Member of the full Committee, told Mr. Cary he would support our position
and Representative John Erlenborn (R., Ill. ), Ranking Minority Member of
the Subcommittee, told me we could count on his full support.
The advice and approval o was obtained on the languag25X1A
above and Mr. Fisher was advis o e agreement on the language for
whatever action is necessary to keep the Civil Service Commission apprised
of these developments.

9. (Secret - JMM) John Lehman, on the White House staff, called
to ask if the Agency was appearing this week before the Nedzi Subcommittee
regarding the Hebert/Arends bill (H. R. 9853) on security of classified
information. I said we were not, in view of our policy against appearing
in open session. Lehman was glad to hear this. He asked my views about
trying to delay hearings on this subject until next month so that the
Administration's position could be clarified and further work completed in
the NSSM 13 exercise. I said one argument against delay was the possibility
that the Moorhead Subcommittee would pick up the ball and run with it, and
I thought we were better off dealing with Nedzi. Lehman said this was a
consideration which hadn't occurred to them, and maybe they had better
take another look. He asked how we were getting along with Nedzi and I
said there were no major problems at this stage. This seemed to surprise
him.
Lehman said he had a friend leaving the Navy who was interested in
a job with Air America. I suggested his friend contact Air America's
office directly, but told Lehman to let us know when he did and give us any
recommendations he might want to offer so we could be sure they got full
attention.
10. (Confidential - JGO) In response to Ambassador Winthrop G.
Brown's, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian Affairs, request
for guidance in responding before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee
if asked about the number of CIA personnel on the country team, forwarded
to Mr. DC/FE, a copy of the Department of State's
16 Nove er 11) fl letter. in accordance with the letter which forwarded to the
Foreign Relations Committee the numbers of personnel in place by country
and
C by agency, it 7 recommended that Ambassador Brown, if questioned
respond to the effect that he will arrange for the
Department to provide this information to the Chairman.
11. (Confidential - JGO) Talked to Mr. Bruce Clarke, OSR, who told
me he had a good meeting with Mr. Fred Wikner, assistant to Dr. John S.

and Mr. Arthur Rosen, Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs, Department
of State, I called Mr. Gerard Schiappa, Administrative Assistant to
Representative Louis Wyman (R. , N. H. ), in response to his letter of
18 February 1972. I told Mr. Schiappa that we do not copy TV newscast in
the States nor does the Department of State and that it was the Department of
State's suggestion that the principal source for copies of network TV newscast
would be the particular network. I suggested also that he might want to
check the Public Affairs Office, Department of Defense, to see whether they
might have a copy for their overseas program. Mr. Schiappa thanked me
for the call and the DOD suggestion. He also indicated no further response to
Representative Wyman's letter is necessary.
2. (Confidential - JGO) Met separately with Messrs. Frank Slatinshek
and John Ford, House Armed Services Committee staff, and discussed with
them the blind memorandum of 23 February, "Moscow's View of Force
Reductions in Europe. " This memorandum is in response to Mr. Slatinshek's

Randall (D. , Mo.) after the Director's briefing of 8 February.

15. (Internal Use Only - JGO) By chance I met with Representative
Sidney Yates (D. , Ill) who thanked me for the assistance given him on
Monday. He said that he had met General Dragunskiy at a dinner some
time ago and is asking him for assistance in an immigration case. On
reflection he feels that the Embassy may have been misleading him on the
spelling of the General's name to provide an out for failure to deliver
the letter. See Journal of 21 February.
16. (Confidential - GLC) OEL, alerted us to 25X1A
a personnel matter involving the wife of an employee of an Agency contractor
at a sensitive installation who has registered a complaint with Representative

and there is no need for Agency involvement at this time,

copy 9 of the Director's prepared statement before the Committee on 16 February.
Miss Edith Jack, the shorthand reporter, reviewed her notes on this copy and
returned it to us.
George Murphy, on the Committee staff, said he told Senator George
Aiken (R., Vt.) that we had no additional information on the subject of the
Israelis providing jet fighters to Guatemala but the Senator expressed
surprise and asked Murphy if he would double check this. The Senator
apparently has information which he believes should also be available to
the Agency on this subject. We are looking into this.
18. (Secret - GLC) Late in the day George Murphy, Joint Committee
on Atomic Energy staff, called about the Henry J. Taylor item in the Wash-
ington Daily News of 22 February having to do with an alleged briefing of
the President by ecretarv Laird on Red China's atomic capability. Murphy
was particularly interested in whether we consider reference to the locations
mentioned in the Taylor item as classified. I told him I would talk to our
people about this and give him a call.

13. (Secret - JMM) George Murphy, Joint Committee on Atomic
Energy staff, called to discuss the Director's appearance yesterday. He
asked if I felt that his comments on the case of some missing "yellow cake"
uranium were clear. I said I thought he summarized the case accurately.
He agreed with my recollection that the only item on which we were committed
to supply supplementary material for the record concerned Senator Aiken's
question about Israel supplying fighter aircraft and small arms to Guatemala
and other small countries. However, he said he would check the transcript
to see if there were other items that required .followup action.
He said the entire presentation had been completely successful,
but all the members were especially impressed with the Directo.r's
extemporaneous discussion of the political situation in China, which Senator
Pastore had commented on most enthusiastically.
14. (Internal Use Onl - RJK) Delivered to the office of Senator
Robert Dole (R., Kans. ) a tem in which his name was mentioned.

China Atlas for the Senator's use.
16. (Secret - GLC) Sam Goldberg, on the staff of Senator Charles
McC. Mathias (R., Md.), called. He said Senator Philip Hart (D., Mich.)
has interested Senator Mathias in his proposal to extend the nuclear test ban
treaty to include underground testing. Goldberg said Senator Mathias has
gotten quite interested in this and has received briefings from DOD and AEC
on the subject but he and Senator Hart would like to hear from us. They
would like us to tell them what the Soviets are doing in the field of underground
nuclear testing and to give them our judgment as to whether a U. S. move to
ban this type of testing (either unilaterally or otherwise) would place the U. S.
in a disadvantageous position vis-a-vis the Soviets. They would also like us
to brief them on the state of the art for detecting such tests. Goldberg said
the only time the two Senators would be available for a briefing in the immediate
future is tomorrow morning at 9:30. They realize that responding on such short
notice is an unreasonable request and, therefore, would be willing to defer
the briefing if we cannot make it tomorrow. I told Goldbert I doubted we could
do anything by tomorrow morning since this had to be taken up by the Director,
but I would raise the question and be back in touch with him as soon as I had
an answer.

1. (Confidential - GLC) In connection with a request from Carl
Marcy, Chief of Staff, Senate Foreign Relations Committee, for a copy
of the paper which had been prepared on the cost of terminating the Radios,
C /CA Staff, advised the matter had been taken up
with a xecu ive Director-Comptroller who felt that if this paper was to
be passed to Marcy it should be given to him by either State Department
or OMB. Feldman has been in touch with State Department and State is
currently looking into the situation.
2. (Confidential - GLC) Called Mr. Harry Symmes, Deputy Assistant
Secretary for Congressional Relations, Department of State, and reviewed
with him the facts pertaining to our talks with Representative John Murphy
(D., N. Y.) in connection with his proposed trip to the Panama Canal Zone.
I made it clear to Symmes that in our dealings with Murphy and General
James Lawrence, Deputy Assistant to the Secretary of Defense (Legislative
Affairs), we had studiously avoided the diplomatic and political aspects
as to whether Murphy should or should not go on the trip and we had also
avoided becoming involved in whether he should be provided transportation
by the Air Force. I asked Symmes if he would be sure that Assistant
Secretary David Abshire was made aware of this and he said he would.
Mr. Symmes mentioned that State had been caught off guard by the
decision of the Senate leadership to call up the Case bill, S. 596, on
international agreements. He said the Department had a speech ready for
use on the Senate floor on this and while they didn't expect to head off any
action on the bill they had planned to get such a statement on the record
in the hope that it would be helpful in defeating the bill in the House. At
this juncture Symmes is fearful that if the bill is brought up on the House
floor that it will pass there also. He said his only hope was that it could
be slowed down and otherwise lost in committee.

(R. , Mo.) in response to a note he gave the Director when the Director
appeared before the House Armed Services Committee on 8 February
asking about the Director's relations with other members of the community.
I said I would be glad to come over and talk to Dr. Hall personally at his
convenience. He said he wanted the "straight story" and not the usual
"obfuscation" and asked if I was speaking for the Director. I said I would
make sure I got instructions from the Director before talking to him, but
we would certainly "tell it straight. " I said if he had any particular
sensitive questions to raise personally with the Director, I was sure the
Director would try to arrange to see him, but the Director was quite busy
these days. Hall said he would be glad to talk to me about the matter some
time after Tuesday, 22 February.
5. (Secret - JMM) Mr. David Abshire, Assistant Secretary for
Congressional Relations, State Department, called to say they were having
serious trouble with the Radios but he expected they could swing Senator
Fulbright at the last minute.
He also inquired about our briefing this morning of Representative
John M. Murphy (D. , N. Y.) and I told him I didn't have the details, but
knew that Murphy had raised with us the possibility of a military aircraft
and we had undertaken to pass this request on to the Pentagon.

Benefits Subcommittee, House Post Office and Civil Service Committee, who
told me that the Hanley bill, H. R. 11150, concerning the rights of Federal
employees, is scheduled on the agenda for the meeting of the full Committee
tomorrow. Mr. Barton noted that should question arise concerning the
Udall amendment to provide annual reporting by exempted agencies under the
bill, he has the notes that I gave him concerning the factors affecting personnel
security.for reference. He will have copies of Chairman Hebert's letter to
Chairman Dulski requesting full exemption for the Agency placed on each
Committee member's desk for their individual information. It was noted,
in passing, that a lack of quorum for the meeting would cause cancellation
of the session tomorrow.

OCI, to a briefing requested by Representative John urp y ku. , IN. Y.
on Panamanian reaction to the Panama Canal Subcommittee's upcoming
trip to Panama. Jim Larocca, Administrative Assistant, and Major Moore,
Escort Officer, also attended. The briefing went well.
Representative Murphy said they were having trouble getting a military
aircraft for the trip and saw our general assessment that Panamanian reaction
to the trip in large measure depends upon whether the Subcommittee limits
itself to strictly Zone matters as opposed to treaty negotiations and Panamanian
matters as additional justification for the use of military aircraft (which would
land in the Zone and not in Panama). He asked that we pass our assessment
on to Rady Johnson, Assistant for Legislative Affairs, Department of Defense.
I called Mr. Johnson's deputy, Brigadier General James Lawrence, and
explained the background of Murphy's request, pointing out that we had no
interest in whether the Subcommittee traveled or not and that where the
Subcommittee deplaned was only one of a number of factors affecting their
profile in Panama, which he understood completely. I informed Jim Larocca,
in the Congressman's office, of what I had told General Lawrence.

of Senator Alan Cranston (D. , Calif. ), a suggested reply to a constituent
inquiry on the T. D. Allman article, " Boy Soldier, " which had appeared in

8. (Secret - JMM) Met with Bill Woodruff, Counsel, Senate
Appropriations Committee, and discussed plans for the 15 February briefing
of the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee. Woodruff recommended that
the Director cover a prepared text on the Soviet Union, Communist. China,
and Southeast Asia, leaving other areas for the question period. He said the
Subcommittee was skeptical about recent testimony of Admiral Zumwalt
regarding the rapid expansion of the Soviet navy, and Woodruff recommended
the Director devote "four or five minutes"to this subject.
Woodruff said he would like to get from John Clarke "within the next
week or ten days" a "money and people" paper for FY 1973 on CIA, DIA, NSA
and NRO, similar to the paper provided last year.
Woodruff said Chairman Ellender wanted a special briefing on the
intelligence community from Mr. Helms and Assistant Secretary of Defense
(ISA) Albert Hall in the near future--possibly appearing jointly, although
Ellender has not made up his mind on this aspect. Woodruff said that,
although he planned to hear from both the Director and Hall, Ellender would
probably try to hold the Director responsible for the entire community.
Woodruff expressed concern over the reference to tactical intelligence
in the Presidential directive, and I assured him that this was something which
we felt strongly had no place in the community picture. Woodruff agreed,
noting that excluding the costs of tactical intelligence would help him to cut
the figure on community intelligence costs.
9. (Secret - JMM) Met with Senator Milton Young and discussed the
Director's appearance next week before the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee.
In response to his earlier request, I briefed Senator Young on the status of
Indian nuclear development.
10. (Confidential - JMM) Lunched with Ed Braswell, Chief Counsel,
Senate Armed Services Committee, and discussed some problems involving
community matters.
11. (Confidential - GLC) In response to J. Sourwine's, Chief Counsel,
Senate Internal Security Subcommittee, request and in his absence, I spoke
with Sam Scott, of the Subcommittee staff, and advised him that according
to our information all the Soviet diplomats who were PNGd by Mexico returned
to the Soviet Union and are still there.

(Intelligence Subcommittee) nose was out of joint as a result of a phone
conversation he had with Secretary Laird regarding a matter 1 ::1
and I had discussed with the Chairman last week. Slatinshek said that the
correspondent Seymour Hersh had been pushing Nedzi to make some public
statement about the matter but Nedzi had, true to his commitment to us
last week, stuck to a "no comment" statement. Slatinshek said Defense had
suggested that and I join with them to meet Nedzi to try to quiet
him down but Slatinshek seemed to have some doubts as to whether this would
be a good idea. I said we would be perfectly willing to do this and Slatinshek
said in that case it might be well to do it before the Director's appearance
before the full Committee on Tuesda , 8 February. I said we would see if
we could arrange it by then. is checking with Defense to wo2bX1A
