1. JSW) Mr. John A. Jackson, executive
secretary to Senator Leverett Saltonstall, called to say a student
constituent had been in to see the Senator in connection with a term
paper he is doing on the McCone nomination. He apparently has seen
a number of people around town and requested the Senator's good offices
in getting him in contact with someone in CIA to discuss this subject.
Mr. Jackson understood the difficulties but readily saw that our official
position for this purpose was no comment. However, I left it with him
that if it would be of any help to the Senator and if the Senator wished,
I would be glad to talk with the man although I would not be really able
to provide any information other than that which had appeared in
congressional documents. Jackson indicated that he thought he would
not wish to call on us further on this and seemed to understand our
problem.
2. - JSW) William Darden telephoned
this morning indicating that Senator Russell would like to tentatively
set a time for 10:30 tomorrow morning for the Subcommittee to meet
with the DCI. Mr. Darden had been instructed to try to line up
Senators Hayden and Young from Appropriations. At approximately
4:45 p. m. Mr. Darden telephoned saying that the meeting was firm.
3. - JSW) Talked with Senator Gordon
Allott's office suggesting that we would be glad to meet again with the
Senator to brief him on the oil shale situation in 0 at his
convenience. Subsequently, due to his departure, arrangements were
made for I o accompany I of ORR to see the
Senator at eleven o'clock on Thursday.
4. ( - JSW) Met with Mr. Shuman in the office of
Senator Paul Douglas and furnished him a copy of General Carter's
biography and an excerpt from the Armed Services confirmation
hearings dealing with General Carter's intelligence experience. This
was in response to a query of yesterday in behalf of a constituent. Also
discussed with Mr. Shuman the comments of Senator Douglas on the

a letter dated 7 April from lair. 1.. G. ,li.lson, of Moundsville, West

8. GLC) Attended, as an observer, hearings by the
House Government Operations Government Activities Subcommittee on
H. R. 7865 to repeal the 1893 statutes prohibiting the employment of employees
of the Pinkerton Detective Agency or similar agencies by the Government.
Witnesses testifying represented the Civil Service Commission, Government
Services Administration, District of Columbia Government, the American
Federation of Government Employees and the Pinkerton Detective Agency.
Several letters and telegrams including a letter from the Department of Justice
were also placed in the record. The only opposition to the bill was registered
by James Campbell, of the Employee's Union. In answering questions on
GSA's use of outside agencies for protective and custodial services, the GSA
witnesses used as an example the protective service provided for the new CIA
building while it was under construction. There was no mention of the draft
amendment to the bill circulated by the Committee staff, but it was quite clear
that Representative Moss was not in favor of a full repeal as provided in the
original bill. The hearings adjourned subject to the call of the chair.

10. Q - GLC) Chatted briefly with Senator Thomas J. Dodd who
said Mrs. Downey had asked him if he would try to arrange a meeting for her
with the Attorney General. Dodd said he had contacted the Attorney General
on this and he said he would be very happy to see Mrs. Downey. No date has
been set for the meeting. (Mr. Houston sent the Director a note on this.)
I mentioned to Senator Dodd our difficulty in arranging a meeting
between Mr. McCone and him because of their busy schedules. Dodd said it
looked like they would not be able to get together until after Easter and we
agreed that we would try to arrange something after the holiday.

11. { - GLC) Talked further with George Murphy, of the
Joint Committee on omic Ener staff, concerning a time for Dr. Scoville's
briefing of the staff on the and developments in 25X1
the Soviet Union with regard to atomic tests. Murphy said the staff director,
Mr. Ramey, would not be available for the briefing until Monday. He sug-
gested that since Dr. Scoville would not return to Washington until Wednesday
he might like to have one of his subordinates handle the briefing. We prefer
to put this over until Wednesday and I will attempt to arrange this with Murphy.
