Met with Chairman Lucien N. Nedzi (D, , Mich. ), Intelligence Subcommittee, House Armed Services Committee, who repeated Frank Slatinshek's, Chief Counsel of the Committee, request of last night for assistance with regard to a listing of Committee hearings and meetings held since Nedzi was Chairman and also the subject matter covered. I told the Chairman that Slatinshek had relayed his request late last evening and had included a request for a listing of all contacts with the Committee d uring the same period. In a chance meeting later with Chairman Nedzi, he told me he had just forwarded telegrams to the New York Times and the press gallery advising them that he is scheduling hearings on the allegations of domestic activities by the Agency and requesting their assistance in providing information and possible witnesses. 9. Delivered a copy of the National Security Act of 1947 and the Central Intelligence Agency Act of 1949 to Colleen in the office of Senator Floyd K. Haskell (D. , Colo.). 25X1C 11. Sam Goldberg, State Department, called and sought our general guidance as to what recommendations he should make to Secretary Kissinger, who has been asked to appear before the House Armed Services Committee on 21 January. The hearing was setup before the recent allegations against the Agency resulting from the Hersh article, but he felt that the subject might very well come up. Goldberg felt at a loss to advise Secretary Kissinger on these matters since his office does not involve itself in the Secretary's responsibilities as National Security adviser,. I told Goldberg that the Director would be testifying before Senate committees next week and that we would keep his interests in mind, but there was nothing specific that we could suggest at this time.

I assured Tarabochia that if I developed any information contrary to what he has I will can him first before contacting Sourwine. I inquired as to the status of the Committee staff study on the Venceremos Brigade which Tarabochia is preparing with an input from the Agency. He judged that he would have the final draft of the study completed by the end of this month or early next month. He said he was still having a problem getting the other input (FBI) into the report; however, he is prepared to complete the study without this contribution. ubcommittee on Internal Security, called and withdrew 2, Received a telephone call from Frank Slatinshek;' Chief Counsel, House Armed Services Committee, who told me that Chairman Lucien N.
