3. I IMrs. Arlene McArthur, Personal
Secretary to Senator Charles McC. Mathias (R. , Md. ), called to say
that unfortunately the Navy had scheduled a briefing on 9 October which
Senator Mathias felt he could not miss and therefore it would be necessary
for him to cancel his lecture to the Mid-Career Course that morning.
She said the Senator was anxious to do this kind of thing, however, and
asked that we contact them again when another opportunity might present
itself. 25X1 C
J. Sourwine, Chief Counsel, Senate
Internal Security Sub called and asked if we had any information
on I told him I would check
on this and be back in touch with him.
5. Talked further with James Gehrig, Staff
Director, Senate Aeronautical and Space Sciences Committee, about a
briefing of the Committee and designated staff members by Mr. Duckett
on the Luna 16 shot and recent developments in the Soviet space program.
Gehrig plans to talk with Chairman Anderson and Senator Margaret Chase
Smith about a briefing sometime next week and he will be back in touch
with us. It was agreed that staff participation would be limited to Gehrig,
Bill Parker, and Craig Voorhees.
6. Talked with Ed Kenny, Senator Strom
Thurmond 's representative on t e Senate Preparedness Subcommittee staff,
about the Senator's letter to the Director on Cuba. (Kenny had mentioned
to me earlier that the Senator had sent such a letter.) I told Kenny that
the Director had focused on the letter and appreciated the Senator's concern
over the situation. He also wanted the Senator to be assured that we were
on top of the situation and giving it top priority. Kenny said he was sure
we were and that the President had so instructed the Director. He said
Thurmond had made a public statement expressing his concern over the
Cuban situation including a statement that he was calling on the Director
to give it his full attention, and he wanted to follow up on this by sending
him a letter. Kenny went on to say that as noted in the Senator's postscript
when we were "in a position to provide anything further on this the Senator
would appreciate it. "

10. et with Bun Bray, Staff Director,
Subcommittee on Manpower and Civil Service, House Committee on Post
Office and Civil Service, who told me that he had been with the Chairman
for sometime during the morning. No Subcommittee meeting has been
scheduled and Mr. Bray himself is not certain at this point what the
Chairman's intentions are with regard to S. 782, the Ervin bill. Mr. Bray
noted that on his tour of the West during this last week or so he has given
each audience that he has addressed a chance to raise whatever questions
or complaints they might have with regard to invasion of privacy and so far
has identified only one that by its nature does not really fit the problem
Senator Ervin is trying to resolve. Although he foresees no meeting this
week, he will try to keep me advised should the situation change. As far
as union interest it is centered completely on wage and wage related matters
with no apparent current interest in the Ervin bill.
11. Jay Sourwine, Senate Internal
Security subcommittee sta , called to determine theauthenticity and
timeliness of information on the Katyn massacre in the form of excerpts

Subcommittee on Labor, House Education and Labor Committee, on the
recently reported out Equal Employment Opportunities Enforcement Act
(H. R. 17555, S. 2453). He said prospects for passage are good since,
unlike previous years, the Senate seems prepared to act. I explained our
problem with the Senate version which he readily appreciated. He felt the
Committee would be receptive to protecting our interest explaining that the
application of the legislation to federal employees had not received a great
deal of attention and no one had focused on the problems it might cause
sensitive agencies. I stressed that the prime purpose of my call was to
obtain information and that the viewpoints I expressed did not constitute
an. Agency position which he said he understood.
Called 1 -1 General Counsel, NSA, to alert him to the
action on the above i s and their possible adverse effect. I also called
Robert Hull, Department of State, and alerted him to the action on these
bills.

advised if there is any progress against the possibility that we might want
to request similar consideration for our retirement act.

priations Committee staff, and discussed in some detail the Military
Procurement Authorization Act and the amendments that were made by
the Senate.. He noted that this bill is apparently headed into difficulty
in conference between the Senate and House Armed Services Committee,
at least in part due to the very strong position already taken by
Chairman Rivers with regard to the points at issue. He also noted the
present adjournment talk in the Senate (15 October) does not appear very
realistic at this time.
I briefed Mr. Preston on the following items: aerial hijacking
and PFLP; continuing SAM activity in the canal standstill zone; potential
Soviet aircraft shipments to the UAR; operational assignment of Flogger
and Foxbat aircraft, and Soviet military aid commitments to Pakistan.
