6. ) Representative Hebert telephoned
to advise that the CIA u com vtee of House Armed Services had approved
going forward with DS-195 in a< -ordance with the plan. I expressed my
appreciation. He then asked if I could give him some help in connection
with the daughter of a very close friend who is travelling in the Middle East
and Far East areas. He needed some advice concerning the probable
conditions and safety. I indicated we would provide this as soon as possible.
7. Talked with Lt. Col. Edward C. Peter, II,
Office of the Secretary of the Army, L&L, who will be escorting Senator
Stuart Symington on a trip to Europe in the near future. We discussed
arrangements whereby Symington had wished him to sit in on substantive
briefings but, of course, the Agency would not wish him to sit in on briefings
involving Agency activities. Peter said he understood this and so did
Senator Symington, citing the experiences on his trip last fall.
8. Received a call from Martin Convisser,
International Division, BOB, who advised that the Department of Defense
comments on the Agency legislative package had been received. Later in
the day, he provided a copy for our review.
9. Discussed the status of the testimony of
DS-195 with Phil Kelleher, Counsel, House Armed Services Committee and
learned that the testimony will be published on or about 23 March following
a floor statement by Chairman Rivers. Obtained the Committee jacket
number from Edith Johnson of the Committee staff and entered an order
for 2000 copies of the printed testimony. Kelleher believes there will be
no difficulty in obtaining the Chairman's signature on a cover letter to be
used by the Agency with its mailing list.
10. Talked with Harold Thomerson, in the office
of Representative Ralph J. Scott, concerning the application for employment
25X1A of I and said we would be back in touch with him as soon as
we were able to draw all the facts together. Thomerson thanked us for the
attention being given the case. The Office of Security was requested to .
verify and illuminate the references to an employment contact in 1955 with
the Agency.
