5. Dorothy Fosdick, Staff Director, Subcom- 25X1
mittee on National Security and International Operations, called in behalf of
Senator Henry Jackson to say that he would stop in Washington for only a few
hours en route from his home on the West Coast to Europe and, therefore,
wished Miss Fosdick and Colonel Haaken Lindjord, her associate, to proceed
to draft a speech the Senator intends to give in Europe (presumably before the
North Atlantic Assembly in Brussels). Miss Fosdick said the Senator would
like her and Lindjord to get an updated briefing on the Warsaw Pact military
situation and the general conditions in Eastern Europe, Middle East situation,
Finland, and conditions on the Sino-Soviet border. Since she had spoken
enthusiastically of the earlier briefing on some of these subjects given by
OSR, I said I would call on him for the briefing and we agreed 25X1
on 11:00 A. M. , Friday, 1 November. I notified Mr. Hicks.
Later, Miss Fosdick called to say she had just received a call from
Senator Jackson who expressed keen interest in "the German spy cases, "
and despite his tight schedule would like a personal briefing thereon during
his brief stopover en route to Europe on Saturday, 9 November.

7? Talked with Kenneth Sprankle, Staff
Director of the House Appropriations Committee, regarding a contact
made with him by the Office of Security which appeared to result in
considerable irritation on Sprankle's part. The contact was made in
the course of a routine security review of the clearance of
Page 3
another employee of the Appropriations Committee staff. Sprankle was
most upset as a result of the contact and our conversation concluded with
a request by Sprankle for a list of all of the staff members who have been
cleared by the Agency. I told Sprankle we would be happy to provide him
with such a list (See Memo for the Record for details),

A ccording to Finley

He subsequently came to this country and has now been classified

a matter between and Selective Service. I did confirm that
had been a member of the Cuban Brigade. I added that we
were aware of no policy or precedent for Cuban invasion participants
to be exempted from the draft. In response to his question as to
whether we knew if any other Brigade members had been drafted
I responded that this was a matter in which we had no record but
recommended that he might want to check with the Brigade office
in Miami. Finley said this was a good suggestion. He also added
that Representative Fascell might appeal to the President on
behalf.
6. Talked with James Wickwire, on the
staff of Senator Henry M. Jackson, regarding the case of
who is interested in employment as a pilot with Air
America. (Wickwire is leaving Jackson's office to accept a position
in a law firm in Washington state.) After advising Wickwire that
did not meet present requirements for Air America it
was agreed that we would explore the possibility of having Air America
advise of the contact made by Senator Jackson on his
behalf and restate the situation with regard to employment. I will be

7. Met with James Gehrig, Staff Director and
Chief Clerk, Senate Committee on Aeronautical and Space Sciences,
and advised him that we expected the Soviets to conduct another manned
earth orbital test the latter part of this week. I also indicated that the
Soviets are expected to launch a lunar shot later on, perhaps in November.
8. Senator Daniel B. Brewster (D. , Md.) L~~i
was briefed in my office at Headquarters and later at lunch in the Director's
Dining Room, on world trouble spots by Messrs. George Carver, Q 25X1
and Milton Brown. The Senator explained that he wished background 25X1
information in preparation for some speeches and debates scheduled
for the final phases of his rather hectic campaign for reelection. During
the discussion several sensitive matters came up but in each case the
appropriate caveats were clearly emphasized. On several occasions the
Senator sought comment on policy matters but these questions were
politely evaded.
As I escorted the Senator to his car he spoke most enthusiastically
of the briefing and his admiration for the Agency generally. He referred
rather apologetically to an incident in 1965 while he was visiting DaNang,
remarking he had not really intended to attack the Agency, but was merely
"sticking up for the Marines" who were involved in a controversy at the
time.
9. Mr. W. E. Creswell, Administrative
Assistant to Senator John C. Stennis, called to say the Senator would be
in town Wednesday and Thursday and asked if I would be available on either
of the days to give the Senator a briefing prior to his European trip. It
was agreed that Mr. Creswell would call and arrange a time for the briefing.

Russell I provided William Darden, of the Senate Armed Services
Committee staff, with data and photographs of the Soviet helicopter

requirements and that he would return it to us after he had shown it
to Senator Russell.
I advised Darden of the request we had received through Bill
Miller for a briefing of Senator Cooper on the Warsaw Pact and Czech
situation on Thursday. I told Darden that we were considering these
requests very carefully and provided briefings only when it had been
ascertained that the briefing had been requested by a Senator, although
we felt that we could not exclude a staff member from the briefing if
it was the Senator's desire to have him present. Darden appreciated our
problem in this respect and seemed to feel that there was no other way
to handle requests of this sort.

1. Met with Mr. Philip Kelleher, House
Armed Services Committee staff, who advised that the Chairman and
other members will be traveling to a meeting of NATO parliamentarians.
The meeting will be held 11 through 15 November 1968 in Brussels.
He had not been able, however, to sort out the various other parliamentary
groups.
2. Met with Mr. Darrell St. Claire,

Mr. St. Claire was also helpful in identifying the administrative support
provided in various Congressional offices of these delegations.

5. Queried William Darden, Senate Armed Services
Committee staff, about the origin of Senator Russell's question yesterday
regarding possible new developments in the Paris negotiations. Darden
explained that Senator Russell had been queried on this by Senator Dirksen
who apparently had picked up a rumor on the subject and wanted to know if
Russell could confirm or clarify. Darden was unable to throw any light
on the original source of the rumor.
6. Talked with Mr. Robert Michaels, House
Appropriations Committee staff, who requested advice for the Chairman
concerning the reported pressure by the Soviets on the government of
Finland and whether there might be any similarity to the pressures on
Czechoslovakia prior to the takeover. Mr. Michaels noted that press
reports seemed to play up the Kosygin visit. He noted that this is not a
matter of real concern but only of interest at this time.
7. Received a call from Vincent Augliere,
Chief, Foreign Operations, House Subcommittee on Foreign Operations
and Government Information. Mr. Augliere advised that Chairman Moss
had called from the West Coast requesting advice or information for a
young friend at Brigham Young University concerning the "internal service
of the Soviet Union penal system", how it functions, and what it is called.
Apparently what the Chairman feels is needed would be background and
reference materials that could be forwarded to the individual. Restricted
information would be of no help. I advised Mr. Augliere that I was sure
we would not be able to assist in this instance but I would relay his request.

Stennis on a trip to Europe from 5 November to 23 November. The Senator
expects to be in Germany from the 5th to the 10th and in Brussels from
the 10th to the 15th. The balance of the time will be spent on a return
trip to Berlin and visits to London, Holy Loch and Naples.
I plan to see Kimmitt in the next few days to get more details
on the trip and to offer the Senator briefings prior to his departure.
In conversation with Bill Darden, of the Senate Armed Services
Committee staff, I learned that Kimmitt had been requesting the Senator
to make this trip for some time. I also learned that Jack Stempler,
Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Legislative Affairs, will also
be traveling with the Senator.

1. Mrs. Evelyn Pali, in the office of
Representative Paul Findley (R. , Ill. ), called to inquire whether Agency
employment results in draft deferment. I informed Mrs. Pali that it is
Agency policy not to request draft deferments for its employees.
3. Mr. Matthew Harvey, Con ressional
Liaison Office, AID, called in connection with who
was then in his office at the suggestion of Speaker McCormack and is
interested in funding support for a dormitory for his school which is
connected with the University of Hong Kong. I told Harvey that if
is seeking to speak to one of our representatives this could
possibly be arranged and I would check, but that I was sure that we could
not be of any help in connection with the financial problem.
4. William Darden, Senate Armed Services
Committee staff, called and, in behalf of Senator Russell, asked
whether we had any confirmation of a story that Senator Russell had received

Mr. Rivers and others to the NATO parliamentary meeting in November.
Mr. Kelleher advised that he was not familiar with it but he would inquire
and talk to me about it further in the morning.
I briefed Mr. Kelleher concerning current indicators relating
to possible movement of MIG interceptor aircraft south of the 20th
parallel in Vietnam.
6. Met with Mr. Robert Michaels, House
Appropriations Committee staff, who advised that the number of
appropriations bills and conference agreements between now and the
end of the session appear to foreclose any possibility of a Subcommittee
meeting between now and the time the Subcommittee members leave the
city. He noted in passing that one of the Subcommittee members has
already returned home and a second will probably leave Saturday evening.
I also briefed Mr. Michaels for the Chairman concerning the Chinese
production of MIG-19 jet fighters from 1966 through 1968, Soviet
third flight testing of a MRV vehicle on 6 October, the patrol of a Soviet
nuclear-powered submarine from the Kola Peninsula to a position off
the west coast and return to the Soviet Pacific fleet and the current
indicators relating to possible movement of MIG interceptor aircraft
south of the 20th parallel in Vietnam.

4. and I lunched with Mr. Phil 25X1
Kelleher, Counsel, House Armed Services Committee, and reviewed with
him some of the likely forthcoming changes among the members and staff
of the Agency Subcommittee. Kelleher said that the logical successor to
Representative Hardy, on the Agency Subcommittee, would be Representative
James Byrne (D. , Pa. ). However, Byrne's interest in defense and foreign
policy matters is limited to the Philadelphia Navy Yard, and quite possibly
Chairman Rivers (assuming Democrats controlled the House) will not fill
the Hardy vacancy.
5. Jay Sourwine, Chief Counsel, Senate Special 25X1
Subcommittee on Internal Security, called to inquire whether the Agency knew
anything about five Americans being trained in Cuba for guerrilla warfare.
Sourwine had obtained the story from a news item ori~inatin~ in Santo Domingo.

in the office of Representative Arch A. Moore, Jr. (R. , W.Va. ), called to

dated 20 May concerning an Agency employee. I noted that 25X1
I had personally talked to Representative Moore on 3 June concerning this
case and that at that time he was completely satisfied with our response and
had said no written answer would be necessary to his letter. Mrs. Terry was
most upset that the Congressman had not informed her and thou ht he himself

the Senate Aeronautical and Space Sciences Committee on 3 October.
The question was raised by Staff Director, James Gehrig, and constituted
a request for information about the new Soviet boosters. Brandwein
had offered to brief Gehrig on the boosters if this would be helpful.
I subsequently talked to Gehrig who pointed out that what he wants is
information which can be placed in the open record. He cited state-
ments which have been made by the former NASA Director Webb. I
advised Mr. Brandwein of this and indicated that this was a matter
between the Space Committee and NASA and one which should be worked
out by these parties.

that members and wives will be traveling but neither the itinerary nor the

primary emphasis on insurgency problems. Beyond this, he said he was
drafting a list of items which the Subcommittee may want to go into and
would have a copy available probably by tomorrow. I suggested that on this
list he check those items on which our contribution might be particularly
useful and send us a copy so we might be guided accordingly. He said they

not permit them to visit each of them. I passed this information to Messrs.

I also mentioned to Mr. Darden my understanding that it was now clear
that no action would be taken on the Ervin bill (Constitutional Rights of Govern-
ment Employees) this session. I then asked Mr. Darden whether he thought
we should pursue the matter further until after the new year. I said we had
in draft form a paper dealing with certain legal aspects of the bill, but were
not sure whether in present circumstances it would be useful to give this
paper to Senator Ervin or otherwise raise the matter with him until the next
Congress. Mr, Darden said he thought it wiser to defer any such action until
we see how things look in January.

Office of Industrial Security, Defense Supply Agency.
6. Received a call from Mr. Jay 25X1

Miami foreign language news broadcasts this afternoon indicating possible
revolt or uprising in Oriente Province, Cuba. After checking with
Mr. Milton Brown I advised that we had no information that would verify
the reports.
7. Talked with Colonel James Brower, 25X1
Office of Secretary of Defense, Legislative Liaison, regarding the
request we had received from the Senate Preparedness Subcommittee
staff for a briefing on the developments of the crisis in Czechoslovakia
and the status of the situation there at this time. I queried Colonel
Brower as to whether he had received a similar request. He said that
Ben Gilleas, of the Subcommittee staff, had mentioned the possibility of
a Pentagon contribution on this but added that no specific request was
made. Brower plans to discuss this with DIA officials but feels if any
briefing is to be given it should be given by CIA. I stressed the importance
of coordinating any presentations given to this staff and Brower readily
agreed.

1. In response to a query from Robert
Michaels, House Appropriations Committee staff, and after checking
with OCI, I said we had no evidence of Soviet attempts to
obtain a naval base from India. I said speculation in this regard might
have resulted from the fact that the Indians were acquiring several
submarines from the USSR and were constructing, with the assistance
of Soviet technicians, abase on the Indian Ocean to support these sub-
marines. Michaels said the request was originated by Representative
Sikes (D. , Fla. ).
2. Met with Miss Patricia Price,
in the office of Representative Barber Conable, and reviewed with her
a set of Agency employment applications and the applicant information
sheets. Miss Price was most appreciative and indicated that the set
of application forms should be adequate for Representative Conable's
use in responding to a constituent inquiry concerning requirement of
polygraph in processing for employment with the Agency.
3. Received a call from Miss Dorothy
Fosdick, Staff Director, Senate Subcommittee on National Security
and International Operations,
Miss Fosdick also noted that Senator Jackson was extremely pleased
with the excellent briefing our people. provided yesterday and indicated
the Senator will be making a speech today that will be of interest to us.

developments in Peru and the Soviet FOB test of 2 October.

Foreign Affairs Committee staff, and reviewed with him the tentative
plans of a proposed study mission to the Far East. A fairly sizeable
group, as yet undetermined, of Committee members and wives is
being scheduled for travel to the Far East. Present plans do not
include Vietnam. Probable dates of travel will be from 11 November
through 7 December, It is not anticipated at this time that any Agency
briefings will be desired prior to departure or that any Agency contact
or support will be necessary during the trip. Mr. Westphal will keep
me advised as plans are developed.
6. Met with Mr. Ben Gilleas, Director
of Investigations, Senate Subcommittee on Preparedness Investigation,
who requested a briefing of the Subcommittee staff if possible during
next week at the convenience of the Agency. It was requested that the
briefing cover ground forces and air unit movement of Soviet and Warsaw
Pact forces during the buildup, deployment and withdrawal to date from
Czechoslovakia. It will be helpful if matters such as electronic counter
measures used in screening the buildup and deployment and the strength
of units could be detailed in the briefing. I advised Mr. Gilleas that I
would relay his request.
7. In response to a previous request,
informed Jay Sourwine, Chief Counsel, Senate Special Subcommittee
on Internal Security, that represented the CPUSA
at the last Preparatory Conference in Budapest.

Staff Assistant, House Subcommittee on Defense and the Subcommittee
on Transportation, concerning plans for constructing a research track
on the BPR Langley site. He said that the Department of Transportation
is not under any congressional direction in this regard to his knowledge,
and that the Committee strikes funds from Transportation's appropriations
unless the location for the facility is known.
10. Spoke with Ralph Devlin, Staff
Assistant, House Subcommittee on Retirement, Insurance and Health
Benefits, concerning the prospects for the Civil Service retirement and
benefits bill (H. R. 17682). He confirmed that, while pleased that the bill
has progressed as far as House passage, it would not be taken up in the
Senate and that the Senate committee staff has not even begun to initiate
any work on the bill.
11. Mr. White, in the office of Representative
Samuel L. Devine (R. , Ohio), called to request an application form and
a copy of our clerical and professional brochure. This material was sent
to the attention of Mr. John Hoyt, Representative Devine's Administrative
Assistant.
12. Talked to John Reddan, staff member, 25X1
and later with Chairman Porter Hardy, of the Special Subcommittee on
National Defense Posture of House Armed Services, regarding their request
for a written briefing on the situation in the Rio and ANZUS Pact areas,
suggesting that an oral briefing might be more useful than a written one.
Both agreed, but pointed out the extreme difficulty of getting enough members
together at one time to make this feasible. They both felt we had best
plan to handle the matter in writing.

In a conversation today
a. Senator Ervin has shown some flexibility regarding
proposed amendments to his bill to protect the constitutional
rights of Government employees, but remains "adamant" regarding
any exemptions for CIA. Senator Ervin insists that he will agree
to any amendments serving national security, but that the amend-
ments in which the Agency is interested would not really serve
this purpose.
b. However, Senator Ervin is "slowing down" and the
whole thing is a dead issue for the remainder of this session.
The next session will be a "new ball game" and we can take a
look at the problem again early in the year.
c. In (view much of the difficulty arises
from the failure of the Civil Service Commission to develop
effective machinery for handling personnel complaints before
they reach Congress. plans to take this up with
the Commission at an early opportunity.
14. Mr. Jack Norpel, Senate Internal Security
Subcommittee staff, called and requested that he be put on distribution for

book on China. FBIS, said she would take care of this.

had been moved into Czechoslovakia. We assured the Senator that in
the event of early additional significant developments in this regard he

portions which he felt were of particular interest to the Senator this
morning. Mr. Woodruff advised that the Senator had indicated that there
would be no attribution to the Director on any statements he might make
during this morning's proceedings. Mr. Woodruff also noted in passing
that the quick delivery of the Director's notes for Senator Russell's use
was very helpful. The Senator had questioned earlier this morning whether
a transcript shouldn't have been available to him in the office.

by 1973-75. I informed Murphy of my earlier conversation with Ed Bauser,
of the Subcommittee staff, on this same article and told Murphy what I had
told Bauser at that time -regardless of what was in the newspaper the
Joint Committee had in its possession the most recent intelligence information
on this subject in the form of SNIE 13-10-68 dated 19 September 1968. This
seemed to satisfy Murphy as it had satisfied Bauser earlier.
