Excerpt from Journal
Office of the Legislative Counsel
Friday - 7 February 1964
Talked with Representative Gerald R. Ford, soliciting his
views on John Lindsay. Mr. Ford stated that he thought Lindsay was
an intelligent, aggressive Congressman, obviously one who is going
places. He speculated about Lindsay as a Senator or even Governor
of New York and who knows what after that. It was Ford's very strong
view that if anything were to be done in connection with Lindsay's
criticism of CIA it should be done personally with Lindsay by Mr.
McCone. Mr. Ford volunteered that he wished the members of the
Appropriations Subcommittee of CIA could take to the floor in the
defense of the CIA. He stated just recently when Zablocki commented
on a Joint Committee for CIA that he, Ford, felt a strong urge to rise
in support of the Agency. He pointed out, of course, that all of the
members are under a strong injunction from Mr. Cannon not to speak
about CIA publicly and he does not feel, therefore, that he is in a
position to go contrary to this. He added that he and Mr. Mahon have
discussed this very problem on many occasions and feel considerable
concern about it.
Mr. Ford also requested that we send him the FBIS Daily so
that he can keep current on foreign comment on the Warren Commission
looking into the assassination of President Kennedy.
