1. INTELLIGENCE BRIEFING I
accompanied OCI, to a briefing of Mike Van Dusen
and George Berdes on the staff of the House International Relations
Committee,and Richard Preece, of the Library of Congress. The
subject was a political and military overview of countries in the
Arabian peninsula and Ethopia. They requested the opportunity to
meet with some of our people during a trip planned beginning
16 October to the above ned countries. Since I had previously
cleared this wit I told them I would work something out.
2.1 LIAISON Ben Marshall, Security
Director, Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, called to ask whether
Mark Gitenstein, who recently rejoined the Select Committee staff, could
participate in the general briefings being given to the Committee staff
over the next few days. Gitenstein had been with the Committee in the past,
worked for ACLU for 2 to 3 months and is now back with the Committee 25X1
again. After discussing the matter with I land learning that the
FBI report for his time with ACLU had j
usr come in o the Committee
staff, I called Marshall back and told him that Gitenstein would be welcome
to attend the briefings.
I also told him that preparations had been made to prepare a badge
for Tom Connaughton, also of the Select Committee staff, when he visits the
Agency on Thursday for a briefing. I told Marshall that the report on the 25X1
physical security of the Committee offices which he had asked about was be'
sent to the Staff Director today and I also mentioned to him that
was completing details on a procedure for the destruction of documents and
would be back in touch with him on it in a few days.
3. LIAISON Per his request, mailed to
Tom Dine, Senate Budget Committee, a copy of the Agency publication
entitled, "Directory of USSR Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces

25X1 20. IAISON Marian Czarnecki, Chief
of Staff, House International Relations Committee, called saying he
would be leaving the Committee at the end of the month and would be
trying his hand at international banking. Czarnecki said Jack Brady,
also of the Committee staff, would replace him as Chief of Staff and
asked that we accord him the same arrangement made for him for access
to the NID. I said we would.
21. LIAISON Called Sam Hoskinson, NSC
Staff, and discussed with him Executive Order 10450, "Suitability
Requirements for Government Employment." Hoskinson said he was not
familiar with this Order and that normally matters such as this go
through their office as the last stage. I told Hoskinson that we had problems
with this Order as such and would be meeting with the Director tomorrow
and I was going to suggest that the Director write a letter to General Brent
Scowcroft. Hoskinson thought this was a good idea.

25X1 were seeking a copy of the patent for further study before we respond to
the inventor, Connaughton asked that we respond to the inventor's
lawyer rather than directly and inform Connaughton when we
25X1 have done so.
