8. Called Guy McConnell, Senate Appropriations
Committee staff, and alerted him to the articles in Saturday's and today's
NIDs on SALT and Vietnam res ectivel . We discussed Senator Stuart
S min ton's statement on 25X1
I said I didn't know how Chairman McClellan oi-
enator Young eta out t is but if McConnell thought it would be a g-ood idea
for me to see either or both of them and fill there in I would. He said he did
not think that was necessary. I told him the Director will not be making any
statement on this.
9. I I Called Frank Slatinshek, Chief Counsel, House
Armed Services Committee, and alerted him to the articles in Saturday's
and today's NIDs on SALT and Vietnam respectively.
Slatinshek asked how the Director was holding up under all the pressures.
I said he was doing well but I was sure he was a little frustrated, especially
over such articles as the Reston article this morning. Slatinshek said it upset:
him to see these things happen to Mr. Colby. He said Mr., Colby is the "most
conscientious man" he ever knew, that he is "dedicated" and that what these
people are talking about is history--it didn't happen on Mr. Colby's watch.
He cannot understand why they hang it all on him. He said the only thing
Mr. Colby could possibly be criticized for is he is too frank and candid and
outgoing. He said he admires Mr. Colby very much and he thinks he is tougher
than most people realize.

he would like to talk t s e of our people about the trip.

13. In regard to his earlier request,
called Jim Davidson, on the staff of the Subcommittee on Intergovernmental
Relations, Senate Government Operations Committee, to confirm that an
exhaustive search failed to reveal the existence of any 25X1
agreement" between the FBI and CIA which was written in 1948. 1 referred
him to a classified FBI memorandum dated 7 February 1966 prescribing
the scope of CIA's activities in the United States. Davidson said he will.
request the document from the FBI. He explained that the Subcommittee
needs this material in connection with their study to determine the juris-
diction of agencies within the intelligence community and the congressional
oversight which was initiated in the closing days of the 93rd Congress.

Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities, however, no hearings
will be held, though the study will be continued and coordinated with the
Select Committee. Davidson added that he works closely with Bill Miller,
the Staff Director. Davidson said he would be back in touch with us and
would furnish us copies of any correspondence with the FBI.'
