SUBJECT: Request for Director's Appearance before Chairman John V.
Tunney's (D., Calif.) Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on
Constitutional Rights
1. On 11 June 1975 I received a call from Douglas Lea, Counsel,
Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Constitutional Rights. They were
scheduling unclassified hearings in the last week of June to determine
the extent of technological advancements and research and development
in all aspects of technical surveillance. The hearings would be held
jointly with the Senate Commerce Special Subcommittee on Science,
Technology and Commerce which Senator Tunney also chairs. He asked
that the Director testify. I expressed serious doubts since this would
involve intelligence sources and methods and could jeopardize foreign
intelligence collection efforts. He asked that I check anyway and call
him back.
2. I subsequently discussed the request with Clark McFadden,
Counsel, Senate Armed Services Committee. He agreed that the Director
should not testify and suggested I so advise Lea and that if Chairman
Tunney wishes, he can discuss the request with Chairman John C. Stennis
(D., Miss. ), Senate Armed Services Committee. The request was also
discussed by Mr. Cary with Chairman Stennis.
3. I called Lea back as suggested by Clark McFadden. Lea was
not convinced by my arguments. He did not indicate whether or not
Chairman Tunney would discuss the matter with Chairman Stennis.
Assistant Le is ative Counsel
