17. LIAISON Chuck Snodgrass, House
Appropriations Defense Subcommittee staff, called to say that
Chairman George Mahon (D., Texas) wanted to speak with me but in
my absence Snodgrass talked tol and asked for the Director's
phone number. The Chairman then tried to reach the Director who was
in a meeting at the White House. On my return to the office from the
Hill, I attempted to reach Snodgrass but was told that he was in a private
meeting with Chairman Mahon and could not be interrupted. I later called
Snodgrass again and reached him. At this point he said that the matter
they had called about had passed and there was no need to discuss it with
us. I asked Snodgrass if Chairman Mahon still wanted to talk to the
Director and he said he thought not. I suggested that the Director pursue
the call to Chairman Mahon, however, and later learned that he talked
with Chairman Mahon by phone and in a social contact later in the evening
but the Chairman indicated that Snodgrass said the matter had passed
and was of no consequence.
