Dear eaator Furaell:
ccra'ening of the bath Cacigress in the
4 r rut" ~, I ~ec l like to brio tra your att ntiGti s y ral the ugfxt,
coracers irsg agency appearances before the CI. Subco-tumitte* of the
e.nate firmed Services Committee. As in the P "t. I shall eorxttuut,
to m e myself available to respond to the wishes of the Chairmaa
arad the 'u''acommittec mernbars.
Very early in the coming session, possibly in January, f
woula line to appear before the t; ubcozraii.ittee to pros-ant a briefing
wt ith wW deal in co"iderable detail with the Agency's activities,
operations, and some of its accomplishments. It is expected that
this briefing, would lsst no more than two hours. I suggest that we
be permitted to conduct this briefing reserving questions until its
completion, at which time I and other members of my staff would
be glad to respond to gaestions.
t the end of this presentation or at another meeting, I
would be glad to furnish an intelligence briefing concerning recent
events and a general status report. However, it is rmy* belief that
a briefing on the Agency itself is highly desirable to enable the
Iubcornrnittee mas hers more effectively to judge the progrez,s
of the Agency. The scope, and cOnterat of such a briefing have beets
e123cuesj&ee with :' anionic ZG1fCTa.

CIA Sul;coz;x1ittee of the Senate Armed
suggest for your consideration a Joint meeting of the two uhcorn_
s itters for the briefing on Agency activities. Consequently, a
joint meeting would iavolye only two additional Senators. In the
meantime, if there is any way the Agency can be of assistance to
the `hcomrraittee, picase let us know.
