I LEGISLATION Received a call from
Elliot Maxwell, on the staff of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence,
who informed me he expected to provide us the Committee's redraft of
Title I of the charter legislation late Monday and that he would like to meet
with us to discuss the new draft on Wednesday afternoon, 11 January. I
told Mr. Maxwell I would get back to him to confirm the Wednesday meeting.
Mr. Maxwell then went on to reiterate that next week would be "our last
chance" to provide comments on the SSCI draft charter material since he
would be meeting with Senator Walter Huddleston (D., Ky.) the following
week to finalize preparation of the drafts for introduction later this month.
In this regard, Mr. Maxwell indicated that, absent further comment from us,
Senator Huddleston, on introducing the legislation, would make a statement
to the effect either that by virtue of our silence on certain provisions of the
legislation we presumably supported these, or that the Agency had been
provided drafts of the legislation but failed to comment on them. I told
Mr. Maxwell that our failure to address any particular provision or
provisions of the draft legislation should not and does not represent either
acceptance or rejection of such provisions. Mr. Maxwell then said he
would be discussing with Senator Huddleston the nature of any remarks
which might be made when the legislation is introduced.

in a ice o eneral Counsel at NSA, who wanted to know
