4. I. JGO) Received a call from Mr. Art Kuhl, Senate
Foreign Relations Committee staff, as a partial followup to Senator
Symington's letter to the DCI concerning the Senator's trip over the
Lincoln week recess. Mr. Kuhl requested advice concerning the security
clearances of Major General John Murphy, Mr. David Calhoun, Jr. , and
himself in order to avoid any possible embarrassment with regard to the
briefing sessions with Agency representatives at each of their stops
during the trip. He noted that necessary arrangements will have to be
made in the event that any of these three individuals do not have appro-
priate security clearances. I thanked him for the call and advised that
I would be back in touch the first of the week.
5. I I- JGO) Met with Mr. Bruce Merkle, Administra-
tive Assist p entative William Bray, and returned to him the
Congressman's latest draft of his paper on New Left attacks on the CIA.

Mr. Merkle passed on, for our information, a copy of the
January 23 letter of a Member of Congress being circulated to members
of the House of Representatives soliciting co-sponsorship of a bill to
establish a Department of Peace. This bill, which was orginally sub-
mitted to the 90th Congress, will be reintroduced on 6 February. As
of January 21, 1969, this bill has 43 co-sponsors in the House. A confer-
ence of sponsors, both House and Senate, to revise the legislation and
coordinate plans for legislative enactment is scheduled for January 29.

Representative Frank Stubblefield (D. , Ky. ), in response to her call and

wit Mrs. Prine advised that 25X1A
this is a case involving a father who has lost communication with his son.
Although not identified specifically, the father indicates that he had
received forms from the CIA some years ago which indicated that his
son was employed by us. Mrs. Prine indicated that Representative
Stubblefield would appreciate such archives checks as possible to ascer-
tain whether I had ever been associated with the Agency. 25X1A
