6. BRIEFING At the request of Bill Hogan,
Counsel, House Armed Services Subcommittee on Intelligence and
Military Application of Nuclear EnergyF-
Fall of the Office of Program and Budget
Development, Intelligence Community Staff, briefed Hogan in his office
on the intelligence programs listed in the Director?s letter to Chairman
Melvin Price (D., Ill.) which the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence
has recommended be cut. Tom Hahn, Committee staff member, sat in
for part of the meeting. The briefers explained the impact of the
proposed cuts and stressed those programs which would be most
critically affected. Hogan will discuss this with Chairman Price. He
felt personally that, as a matter of principle, the House Armed Services
Committee should hold to its position that the programs not be cut.
However, the final decision will undoubtedly be strongly influenced by
Chairman John C. Stennis (D., Miss.), Senate Armed. Services Committee,
who will chair the conference. Hogan will discuss this with the staff of
the Senate Armed Services Committee and hopes a suitable compromise
can be reached before the matter goes to conference. Hogan read the
classified report of the Senate Select Committee and could see no
justification for the proposed cuts. (See Memorandum for the Record. )
