Friday - 4 November 1977
9. (Internal Use Only - CM) BRIEFING At
request and in Pat Carpentier's absence on the Hill I talked with
Jim Pyrros, Administrative Assistant to Representative Lucien
Nedzi (D., Mich.), about specific subjects of interest for the
briefing of Mr. Nedzi this afternoon on three Middle East countries
which had been scheduled as a follow up to yesterday's briefing
on Africa. Pyrros said that he had not had a chance to talk with
Mr. Nedzi since the briefing of the day before and suggested that
our analysts "wing it."

11. (Internal Use Only - CM) BRIEFING At the request of
John Andrew Hamilton, Jr., CBO, we postponed the scheduled
briefing.today for him on matters of methodology' in interpreting
Soviet defense expenditures. We tentatively rescheduled it for
10 November, at 2:00 p.m.
12. (Internal Use Only - CM) LIAISON I talked with Jim
Conrow, in the office of Representative C. W. Bill Young (R., Fla.),
who said that he had noted in the New Digest of the American
Enterprise Institute for 2 November that CIA had recently published
a report on the Soviet Union's ownership of businesses in the west.
He said that he would like to get a copy of the report. I checked with
NFAC/CSS, who said this was a publication entitled,
"Soviet Commercial Operations in the West." Conrow indicated that
he would like the report by noon today. I arranged to have the report
.
dropped off at 1:00 p.m., which was 'satisfactory to Conrow.
13. (Internal Use Only - CM) CONSTITUENT Lucien Haas, in
the office of Senator Alan Cranston (D., Calif.), called to say that he had
received a request from Warner Brothers Studios asking if there is a CIA
STAT office. in Warner: Brothers is making a film with some reference
in it to CIA and it appeared that they wanted to shoot some footage in a real
STAT CIA office I checked with OPA, who said that we had had
such requests in the past and always turned them down. I called Haas back
and told him that we did not honor requests of this nature due to security
reasons. Haas said that he understood and that appeared to end the matter.
