1. LIAISON Received. a call from
Cliff Fo ier, GAU, who requested a copy of the Director's
1 September letter to Mr. Elmer Staats, Comptroller General
of the United States, regarding GAO's draft report on
An hour later, Mr. Fowler stopped by the office to pic up 25X1
the copy.
2. FORA/LIAISON I called the
office o Representative o ert Livingston (R., La?) and
spoke with Ms. Alice Mayer, Executive Secretary, concerning
an inquiry CIA received from Mr. S. J. Primm who had
requested that any information or correspondence directed
to him also be sent to the Congressman. Ms. Mayer indicated
that she was aware of Mr. Primm's request and did wish to
receive a copy of the Agency's response to Mr. Primm.
This is being sent out today.
3? LIAISON On 'Thursday, 31 August,
Mr. Bob 0 , minority Counsel, Senate Armed Services Committee,
called to determine whether CIA had in its old files any
newspaper articles for 1963 relating to the Cuban missile
crisis. He was aware that the actual time of the missile
crisis was October 1962; however, he felt the articles he
was looking for, at the request of Senator John Tower (R., Texas)
were published in 1963. After several calls between OLC and
Mr. Old, wherein he was given the little information that
was surfaced, he gave me one more specific date to check out.
It seems the Senator is interested in comments made against
him by Fidel Castro during 1963 but concerning the missile
crisis. I called today to pass the results of the latest
search to Mr. Old, but he is away until Thursday and I left
word with his office.
4. THIRD AGENCY Took a call
from John Fawcett, of the National Archives, who said that he
was in receipt of a fairly large volume of CIA-originated
material from the John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson Libraries.
This material had been requested by the House International
Relations Subcommittee on International Organizations. Fawcett
said that he would arrange to have the material delivered to me
so that it could be reviewed and sanitized prior to being made
available to the Subcommittee. a 0 1/CD 25X1
