3. (Secret - JGO) Accompanied Office of 25X1
Security, who changed the safe combination in the private office of
Mr. Ralph Preston, House Appropriations Committee staff.
Mr. Preston noted in passing that he had spent a good part of the
weekend with the Chairman and that by his present schedule appropriations
hearings this year will be completed by 15 June. Mr. Preston's schedule
is such that he is not able to set a time for a visit to Headquarters for con-
tinuation of Agency briefings, but he will schedule a visit as soon as
possible. He also advised that he will cal! me later in the week and arrange
to review the Agency classified documents he is holding.
Mr. Preston noted that Mr. Bow will be sitting in the Defense Sub-
committee hearings during Mr. Lipscomb's absence. With regard to the
CIA Subcommittee, he advised that it will probably operate on a three-man
basis for the foreseeable future. Mr. Preston noted further that Chair-
man Mahon never mentions the membership of the CIA Subcommittee. This
membership should be considered to be classified at least at the "Secret"
level.
4. (Secret - JGO) Met with Mr. Homer McMurray, office of the
Official Reporters to House Committees, and made the necessary arrange-
ments for security control of the transcripts of the Director's appearance
before the House Appropriations Defense Subcommittee on 3 and 4 February.
5. (Internal Use Only - JGO) Received a call from Jo-Anne Coe,
Assistant Secretary to Senator Robert Dole (R., Kans.), who inquired on
behalf of a constituent employed by the r BI whether evidence of termination
of employment with the Bureau is normally required by the Agency. The
constituent had apparently been given this impression from a meeting or
interview with an Agency representative. After checking with the Deputy
Director of Personnel, I advised Miss Coe in part that we do not undertake
active consideration of employment applications of individuals while they are
employed by the Bureau. Miss Coe expressed her appreciation for the
prompt reply.
