OFFICE OF LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL
Friday - 26 June 1964
1. I I Received from the Moss Information
Subcommittee copy #2 of the hearings on use of the polygraph of
Thursday - 25 June 1964.
2. I Met with Mr. John Calkins, in
the office of Representative Howard W. Robison, regarding the trans-
mittal slip query relating to the Agency scholarship program set forth
in the Allen-Scott report. Mr. Calkins was sorry to hear we had no
such program, thanked me for coming by and indicated no written
response to the correspondence would be necessary. Mr. Calkins
will recontact Department of State with regard to the question relating
to State's interest that was posed by the same constituent.
3. I I Stopped by the office of
Representative David N. Henderson and advised that 25X1
whom the Congressman had inquired about in December, was brought
on board 8 June as a GS-3 clerk.
4. Met with Mr. John Martin, Assistant
Chief Counsel of the House Ways and Means Committee, who advised
the earliest the Committee schedule would allow hearings on miscellaneous
legislation would be the last week of July. He noted in passing that it would
be well if the Agency could recontact Treasury Department before any
possible hearing to assure that the Department representatives are in
accord with the proposed disability retirement exemption for CIA. In
his judgment, any objection on the part of Treasury would defeat any
further consideration of the bill in this Committee.

5. Talked with Mrs. Ashby, in the office
of Representative Harry R. Sheppard, regarding the Congressman's
interest in the Allen-Scott column alleging that the Agency is "financing
college educations" for promising students in return for guarantees that
they will join the Agency after graduation. I advised Mrs. Ashby that
we were quite concerned about this column and, as she could imagine,
had numerous inquiries regarding it. I assured her, however, that the
article was entirely false. I also advised her, for the Congressman's
information, that we are contacting Allen and Scott in an effort to
determine the source of this erroneous information.
6. Talked with William Darden concerning
the possibilities of our briefing the combined Senate Armed Services
and Appropriations Subcommittees. Since Mr. McCone is not available
next week, I suggested that we give thought to a meeting during the week
of 6 July, It is not certain whether the Senate will be in session that
week but we will discuss the matter further next week.
