indicated Chairman Vinson could not meet with us on 26 July, and

2. Thomas E. Keena, of Representative

that Daddario was much interested in meeting with Mr. McCone

again was the fact that an individual in Connecticut is currently
circulating a petition, and has some 7, 000 signatures, dealing with

hoped that a meeting could be arranged, and I said I would do what
I could.

had visited with Senator John tennis (D., Miss.) for approximately
one-half hour. At the conclusion the Director advised Elder that
