be interested in having a plaque of the Agency seal for his office. I told
him that unfortunately we did not have any plaques on hand, that the few

intended to implement the findings and recommendations of the Members of

from Mr. Maclver a draft copy of the proposed resolution.

to Miss Dorothy Fosdick, Staff Director, Subcommittee on National Security

the complete text of President Thieu's 31 July broadcast to the Vietnamese

6. JGO) Received a telephone call from
Mr. J. G. Sourwine Ch' Subcommittee on Internal Security,
who requested that a former member of the Castro
regime, be made avai a e or u committee interview in accordance with
the ground rules that had been worked out with the Subcommittee for this type
case. From the press reports, this individual is knowledgeable in several
areas of interest to the Subcommittee.
7. I I- JGO) Received a call from Mike Lennon,
Assistant to Representative Donald M. Fraser (D. , Minn. ), who requested
help for the Congressman in identifying a statement attributed to President
Truman in 1963 concerning limiting of the Agency's role to intelligence.
Mr. Lennon said that the Legislative Reference Service of the House had been
unable to identify the statement. I thanked him for the call and told him I
would be back in touch tomorrow.
8. - JGO) Met with Harry Lambert, Assistant
to Representative Glenn M. Anderson (D. , Calif. ), and discussed with him
Representative Anderson's letter of 30 July to the Director concerning the
maintenance of files of names of persons opposed to the Vietnam war. In
brief I explained that we do not maintain such files and since we are prohibited
by-the National Security Act of 1947 from internal security activities we are
not in a position to determine the need for such files or the constitutionality of
such practices. It was also pointed out that such a practice would appear to
have little merit since the House Committee on Internal Security has published
several volumes of testimony onthis very subject. Mr. Lambert was most
appreciative and advised that no further action would be necessary on
Representative Anderson's letter, that they are engaged in. a-routine action
generated by a constituent inquiry.
