I I Explained in confidence to Frank Slatinshek, Acting Chief Counsel, House Armed Services Committee, the holddown on briefings regarding Cienfuegos. I said that in fact, so far as I knew, there was very little information to add to what had already appeared in the press. Slatinshek said if I thought that was all there was to it, I was mistaken, and indicated that he had turned up a good deal of information from other sources. 7.

I told Zafra that I was not fully conversant with the fiscal details involved, but asked if this issue had been raised in connection with similar legislation accorded the State Department last year. I also said it had been my under- standing that the funding issue was not a direct result of our substantive provisions and again suggested that OMB clear those provisions and resolve our funding question when that issue was resolved for the other retirement systems. Zafra said the clearance of the Foreign Service provisions had been an error as far as lie was concerned and was one in which he was ''embarrassed institutionally. " He said he would track down our letters and review them. 6. Per arrangements made by Mr. Miller, picked up from Jay Sourwine, Senate Internal Security Subcommittee Staff, the Diary of the Katyn Forrest Massacre. 7. Delivered to the Offices of Senators Edmund S. ?Muskie (D., Maine), John Sparkman (D., Ala.), J. W. Fulbright (D., Ark), Mark O. Hatfield (R.
