OFFICE OF LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL
Monday - 10 February 1969
1. Called Mr. Sam Papich, of the FBI,
re our ina ion a orts in connection with the Ervin n bill. I said
one of my contacts on the Hill had suggested that H. Allen Smith, a
former Bureau agent, might help us. Since Smith and Representative
Charles Wilson are from California, I suggested that Smith might
sound out Wilson about granting the Bureau and the Agency exemptions
from Representative Wilson's bill (the House version of the Ervin bill)..
Papich said he would pass this suggestion along to the Bureau's congres-
sional liaison people.

6. I I Spoke to Larry Conrad, Chief Counsel,
Senate Su chit ee on Constitutional Amendments, concerning the
Ervin bill (S. 782). Conrad said he had been informed by Paul
Woodard,of the Ervin Subcommittee, that no hearings are planned and
it is expected that the Subcommittee will report the bill out, as will the
full Committee,for an early vote on the floor.
On the question of the Arthur Flemming Award, Conrad said
he was unable to attend the meeting and sent Larry Cummings, of
Senator Bayh's office, to sit in for him. Conrad was unable to furnish
any information on the meeting.
7.1 Ispoke to Franzetta DeGooyer, on
the stall o the Senate Subcommittee on Immigration
concerning their request for information
Mrs. DeGooyer said Senator Hartke had not reintroduced the bill and
they will put in a new request for information if and when he does.
8. Hand carried to Robert O'Brien, in
Speaker McCormack's office, a copy of a 1966 OER publication
entitled "Foreign Trade of the European Satellites in 1965: A.
Statistical Summary (ER 66-27, November 1966)". I had previously
advised O'Brien that another publication which he requested had been
printed in a study prepared by the Joint Economic Committee. I
explained our policy with regard to publications of this sort and asked
O'Brien to restrict the distribution of these documents as much as
possible.

12. Met with William Woodruff, on the staff of
the Sena J e Appropriations Committee, to keep him up-to-date regarding
our thinking on the Ervin bill. Woodruff still feels we should pursue
this matter in the Judiciary Committee through Senator Birch Bayh (D. , Ind. )
and that the Director should raise the subject at the next meeting of the CIA
Subcommittee. Woodruff said he could give no guarantee that the Director
would not receive a somewhat negative reaction from Senator Russell
but he feels that the Agency should bring it to the attention of the Sub-
committee meeting involving legislative matters which are of concern
to us.
