Representative Catherine Mai {R. , Wash. ), called on beha'f of a constituent
interested in employment with FBIS. Apparently the individual has a
pending application with the Agency and I offered to relay the interest in
F3I5 to oar Personnel office and as an alternative suggested that he might
wish to deal directly with the Personnel representative who interviewed
him in the Washington area recruiting office. Mr. Adams said he would
check and let us know if the applicant preferred our channel.

1. Mr. Donald Jameson and I met with Mr.
Chester D. Smith, General Counsel of the House Committee on Un-
American Activities, to discuss his request for an appearance by
before the Committee next Wednesday or Thursday. We explained
to Smith the problems which such an appearance would create at this
time. Smith said he understood and added that he was confident he
could explain this to the Committee members who had expressed an
interest in having testify. We agreed that at such time as
might be available to appear before one of the Committees~HCUA would
have the prior claim to him. We pointed out, however, that
might elect to tell his story to the press and that we had no effective
way of precluding this. Should that situation develop, however, we would
make every effort to notify the Committee in advance. (See Memorandum
for the Record for details. )

1. In connection with Representative
Mahon's recent conversation with Admiral Taylor on the Minshall
letter, I checked on the availability of Robert Michaels, of the House
Appropriations Committee staff, and Representative Glenard Lipscomb.
Both Michaels and Lipscomb are on leave and are not expected back
until some time next week.
2. Received a call from Chester D.
Smith, General Counsel of the House on Un-American Activities Committee,
regarding the case, making reference to the inter-
view with as reported in the Smith
said that several members of the Committee were anxious to have
appear before the Committee, preferably in open session, next Wednesday
or Thursday. He said the Committee and the staff would be willing to
work with us in any way and would abide by any restrictions we wish to
impose. He also said they would like to speak within advance of
his appearance and work out a script of questions and answers for his
appearance. I told Smith that as he knew this was a touchy situation and
I felt quite certain that an open session appearance was completely out
of the question, but that I would look into the matter and be back in touch
with him. Smith, who at one time held the position of Deputy Director,
Internal Security for the Department of the Army and was also a member
of the USIB Committee, said he appreciated that this would have to be
checked out, both within the Agency and the State Department. He said
while he appreciated that there were problems, he felt thatOtes-
timony would have an enlightening effect on U. S. public opinion.
Following my conversation with Smith I discussed the matter with
Mr. Karamessines and Colonel White and suggested that if we were flatly
opposed to any appearance by~a knowledgeable DDP officer accom-
pany me to a meeting with Smith in an effort to point out to him the very
negative aspects of such an appearance. It was agreed that we would
raise this with the Director in the morning. (Mr. Goodwin and
were also advised of this request. )

the black market. After checking with Personnel I informed Miss
Obrokta that we had had a military detailee by this name for three weeks
in December 1964 but did not currently have anyone on our rolls
with this name. I also pointed out that claim is obviously
false on the face of it since the Agency has no jurisdiction in the United
States over this subject matter. The Office of Security has been informed.

3. Spoke with Mr. Al Westphal, Staff
Consultant, House Foreign Affairs Committee, who concurred in the
desirability of initiating a security clearance on
House Legislative Counsel (see 8 August Journal). Apparently,
none of the members of the Legislative Counsel office have clearances to
Westphal's knowledge and he would like to review the matter more thoroughly
since there a.re no precedents to follow. Westphal understands that we are
deferring to him completely for the present and he said he would inform us
of his recommendations in the near future.

5. Howard Soloway, in the office of Repre-
sentative John J. McFall, called on behalf of a constituent to inquire
whether the Agency had any openings for language instructors. According
to Soloway their constituent is qualified to teach both Greek and Russian.
After checking with the Office of Personnel I advised Soloway that we had
no current openings for language instructors. I explained to him the
confusion which had arisen over an advertisement the Agency had placed in
a local paper for part-time instructors and the ultimate dissemination of
information about this advertisement in an article in the Wall Street Journal.
Soloway said his constituent had mentioned the Wall Street Journal article
and was pleased to have this clarified.
6. George Murphy, on the staff of the Joint
Committee on Atomic Energy, called to ascertain whether the Agency was
in a position to translate an article which appeared in the Danish newspaper
BT of 29 July concerning possible classified information found in a dump in
Denmark. I told Murphy I would check on this and let him know.
Mr. Murphy also expressed interest in a New York Times story
of 22 July 1968 on a Russian nuclear physicist, Andrey Sakharov. Murphy
is interested in any information we can provide on the origin of this
article
7. John Norpel, on the staff of the Senate
Internal Security Subcommittee, called to say that he had received a call from
Bill Grogan, on the detective squad of the Yonkers Police Department, indicating
that they had come across a white racist bulletin carrying the title "Where it
Is. " After checking Norpel had reason to believe that there was a definite
tie-in between this publication and one compiled by an Agency employee
entitled "Where's What. " Norpel said he suggested to Grogan that he contact
the Agency concerning this. Norpel merely wished to alert us to the fact
that he had referred Gro an to us. All of the above information was passed
on to of the Office of Security.
