in Houston, Texas, a copy of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence
Annual Report and accompanying remarks by Senator Daniel Moynihan (D., N. Y. ).
2. LIAISON Diana, of the office of
Representative Manuel Lujan, Jr. (R., N. Mex.), called to request a
professional employment package for a constituent. of this
office sent out the requested package.
4. LIAISON J. J. Hitchcock, Department of State,
called me to ask for our decision with regard to a Department of State
memorandum (drafted on principally CIA information) which Mike Epstein,
Senate Select Committee on Intelligence staff, wants to see in the unsanitized
version. I had lodged this query with the DDO on 25 April, but found that
a decision has not yet been reached. I so advised Hitchcock and told him I
would let him know as soon as the DDO had decided. I also told Hitchcock
that, if he finds time to stop by and see me at his convenience, I will be
pleased to pass to him a copy of our 20 April reply to Chairman Daniel K.
Inouye's (D., Hawaii), Senate Select' Committee on Intelligence, letter
requesting I information. Hitchcock thanked me and said he would
come in one day in the following week.

5. LIAISON Met with Messrs. Gordon
Malfeldt and Frank Frauson, FBI, at their offices to discuss the FBI
Public Tour Program as an input to the Agency OUTREACH program.
The dimensions of the FBI tours are staggering. Five thousand people
per day tour the facility. An additional 500 people per day tour the
facility under the Congressional tour program with each Congressional
office permitted an unlimited number of "reservations." (See Memorandum
for the Record.)
6. LIAISON Met with Stan Taylor, Senate
Select Committee on Intelligence staff, on several matters.
Taylor informed me he had been requested by the Committee to
prepare an analysis of the recent Agency study on Soviet oil production.
This will become part of the overall study of the Subcommittee on Collection,
Production and Quality regarding the quality of intelligence.
Taylor and I discussed further arrangements for the lecture at the
Agency for a group of interns from Brigham Young University. We are
offering to provide bus service for the students and Taylor agreed to
provide me a list of those attending.
7. LIAISON Accompanied Elliot Maxwell,
Senate Select Committee on Intelligence staff, to a lecture before the Senior
Seminar on new intelligence charters. Most of the questions centered on the
proposed structure of the Intelligence Community, particularly the post of
Director of National Intelligence.
Maxwell gave me draft secrecy agreements to cover Committee
staff access to compartmented information.

8. ADMINISTRATIVE -- DELIVERIES
Delivered to Audrey Hatry for David Bushong, Senate Select Committee on
Intelligence staff, a copy of George Bush's letter to Attorney General Levi
dated 1 December 1976 regarding FBI investigation of leaks.
I delivered to Hatry for Bill Miller, Staff Director, Senate Select
Committee on Intelligence, two letters from Robert Gambino, Director of
Security, concerning clearances for Committee employees.
9. LIAISON Met with Bill Miller, Staff Director,
Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, and briefed him on an NPIC program
to assist a local high school in their computer training programs. I told
Miller the program had the firm endorsement of the principal of the school
but that two teachers were suspicious of the CI.A involvement and alerted
Jack Anderson. Anderson's office made an inquiry but we did not know if
he would print an item on this.
I asked Miller about a report in the St. Louis :Post saying that the
Senate Select Committee on Intelligence had voted to prohibit CIA from
using foreign journalist to print "slanted" news. Miller said no such vote had
taken place and said he felt this must be a misinterpretation of Senator
Daniel K. Inouye's (D., Hawaii) 2 May speech before the American Society
of Newspaper Editors.
10. LIAISON Met with Hal Ford, Senate Select
Committee on Intelligence staff, to discuss Committee action on the report
on the A-Team/B-Team exercise. Ford said the Subcommittee on Collection,
Production and Quality had adopted virtually all the Agency's suggestions
regarding the report and that it had been approved by the full Committee on
17 May. This report will be sent to the President and the DCI next week.
Ford has drafted an unclassified version of the report which is being considered
by the Committee staff now. This will be submitted to the Agency for
clearance before its public release.
11. LIAISON Met with Ted Ralston, Senate
Select Committee on Intelligence staff, who informed me he was concerned
about the language of the Derwinski amendment to H. R. 6179. I told him
thought OLC, was handling this and asked Ralston to call him. He
agreed.

13. LIAISON Met with David Bushong, Senate
Select Committee on Intelligence staff, who told me Chairman Daniel K. Inouye
(D. , Hawaii) is particularly interested in the damage assessment in the
Boyce-Lee case and asked if I could get him a copy on Monday, 23 May. I
agreed to do so.
14. LIAISON Met with Frank Kelly, Senate
Select Committee on Intelligence staff, who said the Committee often has
cassette tapes which they wish to destroy or erase completely and asked
if the Agency had any capability to degauss the tapes.

22. LIAISON Talked with Bill Miller,
Staff Director, Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. I told Miller
that we might have some real problems with some of the actions taken by
the Committee, especially one sensitive item. Miller implied that while
theoretically we could appeal to Chairman Daniel Inouye (D., Hawaii)
for all intents and purposes, the Committee had acted on the budget and
had forwarded its action to the various committees as well as to the
appropriate elements of the Intelligence Community.

6. LIAISON Accompanied Mark
25X1
Gitenstein and David Bushong, Senate Select Committee on Intelligence
staff, to a meeting with OS/SSC. The purpose was to
review selected reports of damage assessments from leaks to the media.
I also showed them a paragraph on the bigot list procedure and an Agency
regulation on the marking of classified information. Gitenstein had
asked for these items at an earlier meeting with Robert Gambino, D/OS.
Gitenstein indicated that Senator Daniel Inouye (D., Hawaii), Chairman
of the Committee, has asked him to get completely informed on the
Boyce-Lee case and Gitenstein requested a copy of the Agency damage
report. Mr. Gambino's office has been advised of this request. The
two items that they reviewed will be forwarded to the Committee by
courier.
