OFFICE OF LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL
Monday - 13 September 1971
about the application of in whom the Senator had 25X1
previously expressed considerable interest. He said was
extremely anxious to obtain a position with the Agency, and I said when I
last looked into the matter his processing was well underway, but I would
take another look in the light of possible personnel freezes.
Senator Young said he would like an intelligence roundup briefing
sometime this week, tentatively at 2:00 p. m. on Thursday, 16 September.
request a change in the Department's draft reply to Senator Stuart Symington's
7 July request for :information about U. S. arrangements for information
and intelligence exchanges with foreign governments. Wolf said niy proposal
would cause them some problems but I said I thought it was the best we
could do and he said he would check it out with his superiors and call me
back.
Employee Benefits, of House Post Office and Civil Service Committee, planned
hearings tomorrow on a new version of the Ervin bill, I met with Chairman
Hanley and Richard. Barton, of his staff, to explain that, despite the fact that the
new version of the bill provided the Agency a number of desirable exemptions,
we were still very much troubled by the .fact that it nevertheless provided aggrieved
employees with the right of appeal to an outside board or a Federal court. I
pointed out that this would result in forcing the Agency either to reveal a great
deal about its inner workings in order to defend itself in such an appeal, or
remaining silent in the interest of security and thereby losing the case by default.
Hanley appreciated our position and assured us of his support for a complete
exemption for CIA, as well as NSA and the FBI. He was uncertain as to how the
other members of the Subcommittee would vote, but seemed to think there was a
fair chance that a complete exemption could be obtained. If not, he thought we
could still solve our problem if Chairmen Mahon and Hebert would weigh in for a
full exemption with Chairman Dulski, of the full Committee, when the bill reaches
that point.
