SUEJLC Conversation with Senator Hayden
This memorandum =s for informatics esly.
1. I called Senator Hayden this 0r" to ask hrs advice
an bow t handle Senator Dworshak's reported Complaints about
the *is* and expense of CIA, and his letter to the Bora+a of the
Budget on that subject. Senator Hayden
said Dworsb&k him before he sent the letter to Mr. and had ssuugge~~
that Senator Hayden might assign a staff member of the committee
to make some kind of investigation. Senator Hayden said he had
as present intention of doing anything of that sort. He added that
Senator Dworshak for some trope had a bee in his boast about
the number of C LA people in tt ashiagtozt, and that the building
appropriation had further ersflasnsd him on this issue.
Z. Senator Hayden's advice was that Mr. Brundage should
reply in very general terms to Dworshak, indicating that the Bureau
of the Budget was always seeking means of Ccononaisuag without
endangering the national security and that the CIA was subject to the
same Mad of review and regulation in this regard as any other
agency, etc". As for what CIA itself should do regarding Senator
l worshak, Senator Hayden is inclined to feel that it wouldn't be a
bad idea for Mr. Dulles to seek an appointment and go up and have
a private chat with Dworshak, at which time be could confidentially
inform him as to the number of our people at home and abroad.
and try to explain to him why we are so large, and why we must
treat our budget and personnel figures as classified material.
Senator Hayden does not urge any great rush is contacting Dworshai,.
He feels it would be better to wait until he cools down and becomes
preoccupied with other matters.
