1. I IIn connection with a query which the
Director of ers orinel received from the Department of State regarding
Senator Peter Dominick's bill (S. 939) to provide for a U. S. foreign
corps, I contacted Mr. Steve Wexler, on the staff of the Subcommittee
on Education of the Senate Committee on Labor and Public Welfare,
and Mr. William Young, on the staff of Senator Claiborne Pell (D., R. I.),
who is Chairman of the Subcommittee. I advised both Wexler and Young
that we were following up on what we understood to be a query from Pell
to State Department witnesses (Howard Mace and Joseph Toner) at
hearings on this bill yesterday to ascertain whether the Agency concurred
in State's objection to this legislation. I indicated that we were reviewing
the State Department's position on S. 939 and would be in touch with the
Senator and the Subcommittee. I added, however, there was tentative
feeling that this was a matter of primary interest and concern to the
Department of State.
The Office of Personnel is formulating an Agency position on
S. 939.
2. 11 Mr. Robert Hull, Department of
State, called to discuss statements in a proposed letter from Mr. Macomber
to Chairman Fulbright, Senate Foreign Relations Committee, comparing
the major benefit provisions of the Foreign Service Retirement system
with the CIA retirement system and the Civil Service system as it applies
to FBI personnel. In response to his question I told him the statements
relating to CIA provisions were accurate.
Hull also gave me further background on State's appearance before
the Pell Subcommittee on Education on S. 939, U. S. Foreign Service Corps.

they will proceed from there to the staff hearing room assigned.
5. I I Met with Mr. Frank Slatinshek, House Armed

MRBM testing. This was in response to a question raised yesterday by
Mr. Slatinshek.
6. Met with Mr. Ralph Preston, Defense Sub-
committee staff, House Appropriations Committee, who told me that
he will be preparing questions for the Chairman's use during the
Director's briefing and will give me a copy when they are completed.
We also discussed the conduct of the hearings at some length. He
advised that he and the staff members do actively control the admission
of persons to the hearing room. He will review the admission of persons
with the other staff members prior to Tuesday's meeting. Mr. Preston
noted in passing that Representative Glenard Lipscomb's (R., Calif.) health
is not improving.

as revealed in the secret Senate debate of last December. Woodruff

After checking with the Director I called Mr. Gerber, in the office
of Senator Stephen Young (D. , Ohio), to say that I was ready to meet the
Senator at his convenience and give him the figures he had requested.
Gerber spoke of arranging a time for my "briefing" and I said that I
understood the Senator only wanted the figures on the amount we were d
spending [in Laos] and this was all I was prepared to provide--I said I
didn't want to make a date with the Senator under false pretenses but I
understood that his inquiry concerned only the amount of money the project
was costing.
After consulting with the Senator, Gerber called back to say the
Senator would like me to "come over for a talk" at 4:30 p. m. , Monday,
2 February. I again explained that I could come over and provide the
figures in question, but this was all I would be in a position to do. Gerber
indicated he thought this would be satisfactory.
Britton, of had been approached by Senator Stephen Young's
(D. , Ohio) staff for information on the Meo situation. I advised Wells of
our dealings with Mr. Gerber, of Senator Young's staff, on this same
question. Later in the day, ISA's Legislative Liaison Office referred
Gerber back to us again.

8. Met with Mr. James Lowenstein, Senate
Foreign Relations Committee staff, and received from him copies of
the staff report of his trip with Mr. Moose to Vietnam. Mr. Lowenstein
noted that publication had been forced by an apparent release of a galley
proof of the report. In our short conversation he was very complimentary
of the Agency people that he dealt with in the field and in particular
Messrs. He also noted that although we probably
would not like the report at least the Agency would understand it.
9. I IMet with Mr. Frank Slatinshek, Assistant
Chief Counse us ed Services Committee, who told me that
definitive dates for Committee posture hearings have not been set. In
all probability the beginning date will not be until March. He advised also
that Mrs. Rivers' operation had been successful.
The Chairman will probably be returning to the city on Tuesday.
I briefed Mr. Slatinshek on several items of current intelligence
interest. (See Memorandum for the Record.)
Mr. Lou Gerber, in the office of Senator
Stephen Young, called and said that ISA had directed him to the Agency for
information the Senator wants on Laos. He confirmed this involved the same
information on which he had contacted us yesterday, explaining that the
Senator did not want to go through the innumerable steps involved in getting
and then locating in the classified 15 December transcript the cost figures
for sustaining the "Meo army. " Mr. Gerber asked if someone could meet
with the Senator at 9:30 a. m. tomorrow and I said I would see what could
be done. 25X1A
11. CRS / PS B, called

OCRD Army, for the film "True Sons of the People" for a showing before
executive sessions of both the Senate and House Appropriations and Armed
Services Committees in connection with posture briefings. I suggested that
General Betts' office be made aware of our earlier showing of the film to
some of these same people.

briefing and he would make Mr. Helms available for this briefing if Senator
Stennis desired. Braswell said that he and Senator Stennis discussed this
and decided not to have a combined briefing on this. As a consequence
DIA will brief the full Armed Services Committee for 33 minutes this
Thursday morning prior to a Committee business session. In connection
with the Laird briefing offer, Braswell expressed concern as to whether
the Secretary was making a similar offer to other Committees.

on the strategic threat separately, rather than jointly with DIA witnesses.
Braswell said he had no specific guidance from any members of the

testimony, but presumably they would wish him to update the items covered
during his last appearance.

It will provide authority for the Civil Service Commission to exempt agencies

for 10:30 a. m. Friday, 30 January, and said the invitees (Senators
Fulbright, Mansfield and Aiken) would be included. He said the
briefing would be the usual world wrap-up covering the Soviet and

Mr. Preston noted in passing that he had spent a good part of the

hearings this year will be completed by 15 June. Mr. Preston's schedule
is such that he is not able to set a time for a visit to Headquarters for con-

possible. He also advised that he will call me later in the week and arrange
to review the Agency classified documents he is holding.
Mr. Preston noted that Mr. Bow will be sitting in the Defense Sub-
committee hearings during M:r. Lipscomb's absence. With regard to the
CIA Subcommittee, he advised that it will probably operate on a three-man
basis for the foreseeable future. Mr. Preston noted further that Chair-

membership should be considered to be classified at least at the "Secret"

to avoid any situations from which the contrary could be implied, as in the
instant case. Lucier said he realizes all this, but that there would be no
publicity surrounding our attendance. I told Lucier that I assumed agencies
with internal security responsibilities had been invited and he said they had
and that Senator John McClellan (D. , Ark.) w uld also attend. I told Lucier
I would pass on the request and that if we felt it was appropriate to attend

Bureau had been accuse by e esentative Donald G. Brotzman (R. , Co.lo.) 25X1
of giving the Congressman the "runaround" in responding to his inquiries
25X1A about the disappearance early last year of University of Colorado
According to Papich, Brotzman claims to have been informed by G.LA
that CIA had passed to the Bureau such information on the case as they had,
and that inquiries should be addressed to the Bureau. According to Papich,
the Bureau has never "opened a file on the case" but is having difficulty in
appeasing Brotzman and Papich asked if I would be willing to accompany a
Bureau representative in calling on Brotzman to clear up the situation.
I told Papich that, in response to Brotzman's query to the Director,
I had on 8 January told David Delcour, in Brotzman's office, that the Agency
25X1A had never had any contact witlObut, at the request of University authorities,
had made inquiries of local law enforcement agencies and been assured that
25X1A was alive and well, and had not been the victim of foul play, but had
apparently left Colorado and covered his tracks as a result of marital
difficulties. I said I had suggested to Delcour that if they wished to pursue
the matter further they might contact local police or FBI representatives,
since the Agency would have no jurisdiction in such a case even if foul play
were involved. (See Journal of 8 January 1970) Papich said on the basis
of the above he would try to straighten out the matter and would let me know
if there were further problems.
