1. 1 1 Representative Jamie Whitten (D., Miss.),
House Appropriations Committee, and Ralph Preston, Staff Assistant,
visited Headquarters where they toured the Cuban missile exhibit, were 25X1A
briefed by General Walters and Mr. Ted Shackley on the WH area in
preparation for their upcoming trip, and lunched with the Director, General
Walters and Messrs. Colby, Karamessines, Shackley, Maury and
Subjects discussed during the briefing and luncheon conversation included
Communist (Soviet, Chinese and national) influence in the WH area generally
and Cuba in particular; the political and economic picture in the areas to
be visited (Mexico, Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina, Peru and Ecuador);
problems and prospects involved in the developing petroleum industries
in the area; arms purchases (U. S. versus European). It was agreed that
if we saw serious tensions developing in Argentina in connection with the
return of Peron we would notify Mr. Whitten so that he could change his
itinerary, in which case we would recommend a visit to Sao Paulo.
2. I I In response to her call, met with
Marsha Malts, House pp-rgpria i ons Committee staff, and picked up the
detailed itinerary for Representative Jamie L. Whitten (D., Miss.) who
will be departing Saturday morning for Latin and South America. This

4. I I I called Ralph Preston, House
Appropriations Committee and asked his opinion of using the
opportunity while Representative Whitten (D. , Miss.) is visiting
Headquarters to brief him on a sensitive project. It was Preston's
opinion that such a briefing on this visit would be counterproductive
that Mr. Whitten would not want to spend the time during this visit.
As an aside Preston noted that since Whitten was interested in a briefing
on South America he might not be interested in spending very much
time on the Cuban missile crisis display. Preston told me that he would
be leaving at noon with the congressional delegation for Representative
Bow's (R. , Ohio) funeral in Canton, Ohio. He expects to return this 25X1A
evening as soon as the funeral is over.

3. I I Talked with Bill Woodruff, Counsel, Senate
Appropriations Committee, about our approach to queries from the field
regarding the travel of Senator Daniel K. Inouye (D. , Hawaii), i.e., our
people are to take no initiative with the Senator but should be cordial and
responsive if he makes contact with them or levies any request on them.
Woodruff said he would try to get us a copy of Senator Inouye's itinerary.
4.1 1 Made arrangements with Ed Braswell, Chief
Counsel, Senate Armed Services Committee, for him to visit Headquarters
on Tuesday, 21 November, for lunch and a briefing on the sensitive Agency
project.
5. I I John MacKenzie, Congressional Relations,
Department of State, ca-lied to say Senator Henry Bellmon was anxious to
get a copy of "the briefing on Soviet crop conditions which CIA provided
to Department of Agriculture. " After checking wit D/OE (1A
I called MacKenzie back to say that while we have done a number of papers
on this general subject, they were all clas?;ified and not suitable for Bellmon,
who departs tomorrow, to take with him on his trip. I said the Department
of Agriculture had prepared unclassified material on the subject and felt
sure Senator Bellmon could get what he wanted from them.
6. Met with Mr. Charles Snodgrass,
Agriculture, Environmental and Consumer Protection Subcommittee staff,
of House AppropriatQns_.Cpmmittee. and received from him a copy of the
latest itenerary of Representative Jamie Whitten's (D. , Miss.) travel to
Central and South America.
7. I IMet with Mr. Herb Hoffman, House
Judiciary Committee staff, who told me he had reviewed the material
given to him last week concerning the status of the Espionage Act and
Agency proposals for change in the recommendations of the President's
Commission o Codification of the Criminal Law. Hoffman told me he
would appreciate an explanation of these proposed changes. He said
also that he will be pleased to meet with Agency representatives at their
convenience. Messrs. Warner and OGC, have been advised.

8. I I Met with Miss Helen Boyle, Secretary
to Representative George H. Mahon (D. , Texas), who told me that
Chairman Mahon's plans are very uncertain. He is travelling throughout
the district giving talks in various places and could return to Washington during
the next week. The odds are about even, however, that he might not come
back until some time after Thanksgiving.
9, I I Met with Mr. Frank Slatinshek, Chief Counsel,
House Arme ervices ommittee, who told me that since his request of
Friday a number of matters have come up within the Committee which will
require several staff people to be away from the city within the next week or
so. In consequence, he would like to wait a bit before scheduling the
Committee professional staff for a visit to Headquarters for a briefing on
the Agency and the Cuban missile crisis. He does want to get the
professional staff out to Headquarters for briefing during the recess.
I briefed Slatinshek on the Chinese CSS-X-3 missile; Syrian air
defense capability; and Soviet underground testing at Semipalatinsk.
10. Met with Mr. Ralph Preston, House Appropriations
Committee stall, w no mentioned that in the early discussions about
Representative Wkitten' a (D. , Miss.) itinerary there was some concern
about the unrest in Argentina and that in the event a critical situation
should arise during the course of the trip, Whitten would be given ample
warning. I told Preston that this would be covered in the briefing on
Thursday but that this would not appear to be the case even though
Mr. Juan Peron may be arriving back in the country late this week. It
was agreed that I would pick up Whitten and Preston at the Rayburn Building,
South Capitol Street entrance, at 10:30 a, m. Thursday.
I briefed Preston on the Chinese CSS-X-3 missile; Syrian air
defense capability; and Soviet underground testing at Semipalatinsk.

7. I I At lunch today I raised with Ralph Preston,
Staff Assistant,- Ouse ppo_priations Committee, the issue of the recent
prohibition on the payment of shipping expenses of foreign made vehicles
after 31 December 1972 (see Journal of 9 November). I asked if any considera-
tion could be given to those employees who had purchased vehicles prior to
the imposition of this rule in October of this year. Preston said Chairman
Mahon was adamant on this issue. He said the Chairman will not permit
any exceptions whatsoever regarding this ruling. He added that any employee
who purchased a foreign made vehicle prior to October of this year could
have the shipping cost to the U. S. paid by the Government only if the vehicle
is shipped prior to 31 December 1972.
8. Frank Slatinshek, Chief Counsel, House
Armed Services Committee, and Ralph Preston, Staff Assistant, House

to the briefing they toured the exhibit on the Cuban missile crisis on which
they were briefed by OSA, and

perhaps arrange for the constituent to submit a new application for employ-
ment.

the professional staff of the Armed Services Committee, all of whom sit
in on the Director's briefings, be included in the schedule to view the Cuban
missile crisis display and while they are at Headquarters be given an

Preston filled me in on the changes that had been made since our last
conversation and said that he will be meeting, or at least talking to,
Mr. Whitten probably each day next week. In consequence, he did suggest
holding off at the moment on a cable to the field. Mr. Shackley, WH 25X1A

1. I I Had lunch with Bill Woodruff, Counsel, Senate
Appropriations Committee, today. He told me that he and Senator McClellan
plan to leave 18 or 19 November on a trip to Honolulu, Korea, and Japan. 25XIA
Woodruff said he had been very much impressed by the briefing he received 5X1A
I
some years ago
and thought Senator McClellan would like to have a similar b rie ing.
I told him I would also look into the possibilitie II told
Woodruff we had been interested in getting Senator McClellan out to Headquarters
for a briefing and wondered if he would be in town long enough to come out to
the Agency before their departure on this trip. Woodruff said he was not yet
certain of the Senator's plans between now and then but expected to find out
something in the next day or two and said he would let me know. I told him
we were interested in getting some other members, such as Senators Stennis,
Pastore and Thurmond, out for briefings during the adjournment and he said
he doubted that many of them (with the exeption of Senator Stennis) would be
in town before the first of the year.
Woodruff said he was quite certain he would not be able to make the
briefing tomorrow and I told him we would have him out with Ed Braswell,
Senate Armed Services Committee staff, at. a later date, perhaps next week.
I talked with Woodruff about the provisions in the conference report
on the State, Judiciary, and Related Agencies Appropriations bill prohibiting
the payment of transportation expenses from overseas positions to the U. S.
and asked him about relief for those persons who had purchased foreign made
automobiles prior to the issuance of the conference report. Woodruff said
this had been a matter of concern to the House (Appropriations) Committee
and we should take it up with Ralph Preston, House Appropriaticns Committee
staff. He added that he thought we should follow the procedures of the State
Department in this regard since their situation most closely resembled ours.

5. Cliff Hackett, House Foreign Affairs
Committee staff, called to suggest anew date of the afternoon of Tuesday,
14 November for our briefing of Representative Donald Fraser on the CPSU.
He said he hoped other members might be present.
6. Met with Mr. Ralph Preston, Staff Assistant
House Appropriations Committee, and reviewed with him Appropriations
Committee instructions that have been written into the conference report
on the State, Judiciary, and Related Agencies Appropriations concerning
payment of transportation of foreign made vehicles and furniture. In brief,
Mr. Preston told me that the Department of Defense had violated a written
directive from Chairman Mahon and in defense of their action had claimed
in part that civilian agencies were not subject to the same instructions.
As a result the Chairman inserted the language in the State, Judiciary,
and Related Agencies Appropriation bill with the unanimous consent of
all conferees. In Mr. Preston's judgment the Chairman intends a final
cut-off date of 31 December 1972 and does not feel that there should be any 25X1A
exceptions. Ihas been advised.

inquired he did not press the question of a date by which he might
expect declassification of the various documents. I told him that I did not
