SUBJECT
gresslonal
Keeping the Inspector General and the
Legislative Counsel advised of
Congressional Matters
'Wish to call to your attention the following con-
about which neither the Legislative Couns
nor I were informed until after the eve
The Office of Scientific Intelligence addressed
a memo to you concerning the request of the joint Committee on
National Intelligence Estimates. Neither
Mr. Warner nor I heard of this memo until after it had been
received in your office. I would note that the memo did not mention
s government agencies to advise: the
the basic law which reguire
Committee on Atomic Energy matters. Perhaps it wa
fortuitous that action wa
taken on this memo until after all
of the facts had been obtained.
b. A letter was recently received from Senator
Frank Moss which was sent to Colonel Grogan rather than to
Mr. Warner. I have repeatedly requested that all congressional
letters g
ctly to Mr. Warner who has the responsibility for
interested offices.

c. The Agency did not look good in going back to
enator Gore's office to ask them about
We were informed by the Sena
that he had talked to you and that the knowledge of
office
was available in your office. We later discovered this, although
the initiative for the call to the Senator's office had carne from your
office.
2. In the Interest of tying together much closer the
congressional work that is currently being done. I wish you would
stress to everybody in your office that I am to be informed im-
mediately and that all congressional matters should reside with
the Office of Legislative Counsel.
