1. (Unclassified - THW) LIAISON I called Peter Hunt, House

staff member, to see if he was the person who requested the paper
on shale oil extraction. He said he was and I told him I was forwarding
a paper on the subject to him. He also asked if he could talk to some-
body about
2. (Unclassified - THW) LIAISON Chip Chester, House
International Relations Committee staff, called stating that he was
in charge of a Congressional delegation leaving next week for Mexico
in connection with the International Parliamentary .Conference,and asked
if we could give them some unclassified background information on the narcotics
situation and illegal aliens. I told him I would see what we could do.
He asked for the information by 3:00 p.m., on 24 May. I delivered the
information to him on that date.
3. (Unclassified - THW) LIAISON In response to a request
from I- I OGC, I called Denver Dickerson, of the Joint
Committee on Printing, to see if he had located the citation to the law
exempting CIA from provisions of Title 44 with respect to the depository
library program. I told Dickerson that we had received a letter from
a librarian asking us to comply with Title 44 and that we will go back
with an answer stating that the Committee had advised us that CIA, was
exempt from that Title and that she should write the Committee if she
needed further information. Dickerson said that the staffer 'who had
been doing the research had retired and that he would :put somebody
else on it. He also concurred in our response to the librarian. Subsequently,
Angelo Elmo, of the staff, called to say they were unable to locate the
citation, but from the files circa 1956 it appeared that perhaps the exemption
was based on the CIA Act of 1949. I asked if we could come down to
review their files and he agreed. The Committee would appreciate an
opinion from OGC on the matter. has been advised.
