1. I I Met with Bill Woodruff, Counsel, Senate
Appropriations Committee, and discussed a number of items including
arrangements for the Director's briefing of the Defense Subcommittee
of the Senate Appropriations Committee presently scheduled for Thursday,
18 March at 9:30 a. m. See Memorandum for the Record.
2. I George Murphy, Joint Committee on
Atomic Energy staff, called. He said he understood Dr. Teller has
:made a statement to the effect that the Soviets are well ahead of the U. S.
in the computer field. Murphy said he did not feel this was an accurate
statement and asked if we could give him authoritative sources (preferably
unclassified) which could be used in taking issue with Teller on this.
After checking with Mr. Duckett and Dr. Chamberlain, I advised Murphy
that Duckett had no objection to his saying that Teller's statement did
:not square with statements made by Mr. Duckett on this subject. OSI
has also prepared references to unclassified materials on the subject
which we are forwarding to Murphy.
3. Talked to Mr. Frank Keenan,
Administrative Assistant to Congresswoman Florence Dwyer (R., N.J.),
STATINTL who suggested 9:30 Thursday morning for the demonstration by the STATINTL
STATINTL representatives. After talking with
OS, I confirmed the time of meeting with Mr. Keenan.
Mr. Keenan said also that he will be meeting with thel eople when
STATINTL they arrive in town and will let me know the names of the Company
STATINTL representatives who will be giving the demonstration. OS,
has been advised.

4. Recruitment TATINTL
Division, called to advise that he had been referred by P Personnel, to Mr. Douglas Jones, in the office of Congressman STATINTL
Lennon (D., N. Car.), concerning an appointment inquiry by a
constituent. Mr. Jones is a personal friend of
informed Mr. Jones that he would send a letter and application to the
constituent, F_ I A copy
25X
of the letter will be furnished to Legislative Counsel.
5. On 6 March, I talked to Dorothy Fosdick, on the
staff of Senator Jackson's Subcommittee on National Security and International
Operations. She said the Senator was cutting a tape for his CBS "Face The
Nation" program the next day and had asked her to check with me as to
what could be said about the deployment of a new type Soviet ICBM. I
said this was still very sensitive information and I thought the Senator
could do no more than say that despite reports that SS-9 deployment had
leveled off, it was much too soon to conclude that the Soviets had called
a long-term halt in deployment of all ICBMs.
Today I told Senator Jackson of our concern over some of his
comments during his TV appearance yesterday regarding recent Soviet
ICBM developments. See Memo for Record.
6. Captain John Bruce, Chief, Legislative
Affairs, U. S. Coast Guard, called for an appointment to discuss U. S.
policy and procedures in handling defectors. He explained that his
attempt to get this information from State Department had proven unsatis-
factory as he had been referred back to a Captain Dahlgren (phonetic) in
the Coast Guard. His interest stems from an up-coming visit by the
:Board of Visitors to the Coast Guard Academy and the need to institute
a course there on the handling of defectors (international law and foreign
policy implications). After a discussion with who
also called Captain Dahlgren' s office, I advised Captain Bruce that on
the basis of information available to me, Captain Dahlgren should be a
knowledgeable source for the type of information needed. Captain Bruce
didn't seem to be optimistic about the outcome but said he would call
Dahlgren.
