Friday - 14 August 1964
1. Received a call from John Wilpers,
FDD, advising us that of the Joint Publications Research
Service (JPRS), had received a telephone inquiry from Mrs. Annelle K.
Murray, of the Select Committee on Government Research. Mrs. Murray
requested information on JPRS' activities in the translation of foreign
scientific documents. She also requested information on the authority
which established JPRS, etc. On the basis of this conversation and a
review of the matter with OCR, I called Mrs.
Murray and advised her that "we had an interest in JPRS" and asked
that she not pursue this matter further until I had an opportunity to
talk with her about it on Monday. Mrs. Murray said she suspected as
much and would be happy to see me on Monday.
2. Miss Natalie Martin and Mr. Hoyt,
in the office of Senator George Smathers, passed on to us correspondence
which the Senator has received concerning
I advised we would look into
this and be in touch.
3. Attempted to see Senator Thomas Dodd
or his Assistant James Boyd concerning the Senator's letter to the Director
regarding an applicant for Agency employment. 50X1
Neither Senator Dodd nor Mr. Boyd were available. We will follow up
on this on Monday.

Legal Assistant, Senate Post Office and Civil Service Committee, and

8. (Internal Use Only - JGO) Met with Mrs. Phyllis Piotrow,
Legislative Assistant to Senator Kenneth B. Keating (R., N. Y.), con-
cerning her query with regard to Viet Cong guerrilla instruction in Cuban
forces. I advised Mrs. Piotrow that there was quite a bit of overt informa-
tion on this subject, but that in essence the National Front for the Liberation
of South Vietnam had established a permanent commission in Havana in
August, 1962, headed by Li Van Thinh, and that this commission had been
engaged in various propaganda events. During July at least eight Vietnamese
i arrived in Cuba as invited guests for the 26 July celebration. Although we
have no information that the Vietnamese are training Cubans or Latin
\
Am.ericans in Cuba, it is quite likely that those who are there and have had
military or guerrilla experience are informing interested persons of their
items and experiences.
9. (Internal Use Only - JGO) Met with Mr. Jack Matteson, Chief
Investigator, House Foreign Operations and Government Information Sub-
committee, who advised that he had not had occasion to meet with the
Chairman concerning the Chairman's inquiry relating to FBIS, but that
he would do so at an appropriate time. It is still his belief that the informa-
tion furnished is adequate and that nothing further will be required.
