OFFICE OF LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL
Tuesday - 15 October 1968
After discussion with the Director
calle Sherman Cooper in hopes of nailing
down with the Senator the timing and ground rules for the briefing
requested by Mr. William Miller, of his office. The Senator was in
New York but Mr. Miller confirmed that the Senator would be back
Thursday morning and that they would like the briefing at 3:00 p.m.
Thursday, 17 October.
I n response to his request on behalf of Senator
R u s s e II I provi e Darden, of the Senate Armed Services
Committee staff, with data and photographs of the Soviet helicopter
carrier Moskva. Darden said this material more than filled his
requirements and that he would return it to us after he had shown it
to Senator Russell.
I advised Darden of the request we had received through Bill
Miller for a briefing of Senator Cooper on the Warsaw Pact and Czech
situation on Thursday. I told Darden that we were considering these
requests very carefully and provided briefings only when it had been
ascertained. that the briefing had been requested by a Senator, although
we felt that we could not exclude a staff member from the briefing if
it was the Senator's desire to have him present. Darden appreciated our
problem in this respect and seemed to feel that there was no other way
to handle requests of this sort.
