1. LIAISON Talked with Pat Holt,
Senate Foreign Relations Committee staff. I alerted him to the
National Intelligence Daily change and told him that beginning Monday,
3 May, he would be receiving the Daily instead of the Checklist.
He said he was very pleased about this.
I also told Holt of Bill Ashworth's, also of the Committee staff,
request for an update on I la rrangement. I said if Ashworth is
talking about the overall monitoring program we have nothing to do with
that. I said we do have something going on with the and we
would get back to Ashworth about this. He asked that we follow up
with Ashworth, but he said he would like me to stop in to see him (Holt)
because as he understands it what we are saying contradicts what some
other people are saying. I told him I would be by.
Holt said he wants to get the Director and Chairman John Sparkman
(D. , Ala.) and Senator Clifford Case (R. , N. J.) together for a "Section 662"
review. I said I would try to set something up soon.
2. LIAISON Scott Cohen, in the office of
Senator Charles Percy (R. , Ill. ), called and said the Senator would like
Mr. E. H. Knoche to come up and talk to him. He said the Senator also
wants to discuss Agency activities with Mr. Knoche. Cohen
suggested Tuesday or Wednesday, 4 or 5 May, at 4:00 p. m. I told
him I would check and get back in touch with him.

9 BRIEFING Following
29 April meeting with George W.. Ashworth Senate
Foreign Relations Committee staff, I called Bob Flaten, State Congressional
Relations, concerning a briefing of Mr. Ashworth on an Agency activity
I said Ashworth has asked us for details and I thought it best
for the State Department to handle this matter. Flaten said he had already
briefed Ashworth, but he had no objection to the Agency providing details
since the Agency was doing the work. Flaten said he was not surprised that
Ashworth contacted us because Ashworth has been designated by the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee to stay on top of the matter. He suggested we
go up together to brief Ashworth.

10. BRIEFING 4 1 After checking vi215
I called George W. Ashworth, Senate Foreign
Relations Committee staff, to determine his interest. He said he wanted a 25
briefing on what the Agency was doingl 11 as he had only been given a 25
general briefing by the Department of State. He mentioned
plus anything else, and added that Pat M. Holt, Chief of Staff, Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, asked him to contact us. A. meeting was
scheduled for 10 am, Tuesday, 4 May 1976. I said we may ask State to join
us since we are simply doing a job for them. He said okay. Flaten will join
me in Ashworth's office.
11. LIAISON I took a call from Tom Smeeton,
on the Minority Staff of the House International Relations Committee, who
said that Representative William Broomfield (R., Mich.) had received
a letter from a constituent regarding political repression in South Korea -
and asked if we had a copy of the February issue of the magazine, "Concern,
which contained an article on the above and was mentioned in the constituent's
letter. I told him I would check and get back to him.
12. LIAISON In response to a request from
SE Division, DDO, I called Jon Ilolstine, on the staff of the
Subcommittee on International Operations, House International Relations
Committee, to find out the date and time of a hearing to be held on a
resolution introduced by Representative Millicent Fenwick (R. ,, N. J. )
calling for the formation of a committee to monitor world compliance
with the Helsinki accords.
