SUBJECT: DCI Briefing of the Full House Armed Services Committee -
3 February 1965
1. The Director met again with the full House Armed Services
Committee at 9:30 a. m. and the session lasted until about noon.
Accompanying the Director were: R. J. Smith, Bruce Clarke and
John S. Warner. Present from the Committee staff were:
John R. Blandford Earl Morgan
Philip W. Kelleher William H. Cook
Frank Slatinshek Ralph Marshall
General Alva R. Fitch, Deputy Director, DIA, was present as was
Captain Arthur H. Berndtson, Legislative Assistant to the Chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff. As in yesterday's briefing, there was a technical
sweep and special security arrangements were made so that tapes and
transcripts were in the custody of CIA.
2. The Chairman continued to call the roll to permit questions from
all members. The subjects covered were varied. Mr. Hebert raised a
question of the status of the Soviet civil defense program and the Director
read the appropriate lines from the recent estimate. However, Mr. Hebert
had further questions and the Director indicated he would provide an
additional statement. Mr. Smith is working on this.

3. Following yesterday's briefing, as well as today's, there
were numerous laudatory statements to the Director as well as favorable
comments made to the staff and the undersigned. The Chairman in
particular was most gratified with the briefing having in mind the
appropriate indoctrination of the many new members of the full Committee.
I believe this briefing will long be remembered by those new members as
well as the others as an outstanding briefing.
