7. Conferred with Mr. Adams, representing Senator Sparkman of
the Senate Small Business Committee, and- respecting deletions and 25X1A9a
amendments to the FTC Petroleum Report, required by considerations of
national security. Full agreement was reached and Mr. Adams and I later

the Report would be released as a staff report directly to the Committee,
so that it would not have FTC or Presidential approval, and the Director
noted this proposal.

9. Mr. Hedden gave me his views on the Scientific and Technical
Ad Hoc Committee Report as follows:
a. Some question was raised as to the status of JAEIO, but I pointed
out that this Committee was being continued and Mr. Hedden was
satisfied on this point.
b. Mr. Hedden raised a question as to whether we should refer to
Chapter 7 of the NIS. He preferred to have the Chapter described
and I agreed.
c. Mr. Hedden raised a question as to whether SEC could stimulate
working level conferences, if it were to meet only as required
for NIE contributions. I assured him that NIE requirements were
sufficiently frequent to make this workable, and also indicated
that stimulation of working-level conferences could be
accomplished without actual meetings of SEC, - for example, at
the request of a member through the Secretariat.
Mr. Hedden and I were in agreement that the success of this effort would
depend upon whether the military services fulfilled adequately the respon-
sibilities that they were undertaking. If they did not do so, as disclosed
by a subsequent survey, serious consideration would have to be given to
making scientific and technical intelligence a real service of common concern.
10. Inquired of Dr. Colby whether AEC desired to be represented
on SEC as well as on JAEIC. Dr. Colby requested time to consider this
question further.

put on the Agenda.
