18. LIAISON I called Bob Boettcher,
on the staff of the Subcommittee on International Organizations,
House International Relations Committee. Boettcher had called
while I was out and was quite upset that I had not returned his
phone calls. I told him that I had not done so as I was still working
on his request for a briefin 25X1
I also told him that, frankly, we were having problems with the request
as it dealt with operational matters and that the procedures to date on
this sort of thing was to refer the requester to the Chairman, Special
Subcommittee on Intelligence, House Armed Services Committee. I
told him I would be back to him as soon as I had an answer. I discussed
the matter with Marian Czarnecki, Chief of Staff, House International
Relations Committee, who said he would bring it to the attention of the 25X1
Chairman of the Committee, Representative Thomas E. Morgan (D., Pa.
and asked if there was any executive agreement
Czarnecki said Chairman Morgan would ask
t at
question and if one did exist it would be hard not to allow Chairman
Donald M. Fraser (D., Minn.), Subcommittee on International Organizations,
to at least see the agreement since such agreements are supposed to be
filed with the House International Relations Committee. I told Czarnecki
I would get back to him with the answer. When I called back to tell him
there was no such agreement, he said he had been in touch with Chairman
Morgan and Morgan indicated he would support our position if he is
approached by Chairman Fraser. I spoke with Frank Slatinshek, Chief
Counsel, House Armed Services Committee, and relayed the above to him
and told him that if he had no objection I would call Boettcher and advise him.
that this request involved operational matters and suggest that if Mr. Fraser
felt it necessary he call Chairman Lucien N. Nedzi (D. , Mich.), Special
Subcommittee on Intelligence. Slatinshek approved and said he had brought
the request to Nedzi's attention so that he would be somewhat prepared if
Chairman Fraser called Chairman Nedzi. I then called Boettcher and so
advised him.

Office and Civil Service Committee and informed Bob Lockhart that the

11. BRIEFING I attended a breakfast
for Representative William V. Alexander (D., Ark.), hosted by
George Cary and Ed Proctor, DDI. OCI, was also
present. The purpose of the breakfast was to brief Representative
Alexander on the situation in southern Africa with particular emphasis
on Rhodesia. Representative Alexander stated that he was appreciative
of the briefing as he had little background in that area of the world. He
suggested that perhaps we should make an effort to provide briefings
for groups in Congress which have traditionally been excluded by the
Administration in its dealings with Congress. He mentioned in
particular the Black Caucus and suggested that due to their numerous
contacts with African leaders they might be of considerable help to the
Executive Branch in its dealings with these countries if they were given.
