SFRC - ANGOLA
Pat Holt called me yesterday to.inform me
that the CIA has briefed certain members of the
SFRC with respect to Angola. Holt asked whether
I would be available to testify next week to give
the Committee an explanation of our policy and of
the interests of the U.S. in Angola.. When I told
him that I will be on vacation next week, he said
that they would like to have Bob Ingersoll testify,
and no one below that level.
Bob has agreed to testify. I think that he
and I need to talk with you before we indicate
agreement to appear.
I am checking with Colby to find out just
what it is the CIA has told any members of the
Committee and/or staff.
It is very likely that questions will also
be raised regarding the Committee of 40 delibera-
tions, and we need to agree on what precisely
should be said to the Committee regarding this.
Bill Hyland, who was at the Committee of 40 meeting,
will be in on Monday. Therefore, it would be
desirable to have Bob testify on this day, before
Bill leaves for Helsinki.
