5. I IDelivered to Mr. Augliere a
memorandum to Representative John E. Moss concerning the lack of any
information on Amelia Earhart. This was furnished to Augliere with the
understanding that our memorandum would not be published in any way.
6. Mike Findley, in the office of Representative
Dante B. Fascell, called to alert us to the fact that on Sunday there would be a
press release by Mr. Fascell, as Chairman of the Subcommittee on Inter-
national Organizations and Movements of the Foreign Affairs Committee, having
to do with proposed legislation to take away from CIA the job of supporting
private American operations abroad. The release indicates that legislation to
carry this out will be introduced by Mr. Fascell and Representatives Fraser,
Frelinghuysen, Morse, Roybal, Zablocki and Tunney on Monday. A copy of
Mr. Fascell's press release was picked up and forwarded to the Director.
7. I ITalked to Bob Michaels, House Appropriations
Committee staff, about the forthcoming appearance of Dr. Herzfeld and Dr.
Lukasik from ARPA. I explained the sensitive project might be raised in
connection with He was familiar with the 25X1
situation and said he would be alert to do whatever was appropriate.
8. Delivered to Mr. Darden, Senate Armed
Services Committee staff, the memorandum dealing with certain covert action
activities in part responding to a Drew Pearson column.
Also left with Mr. Darden the ticker item of 11 March in which Senator
Strom Thurmond accuses the Agency of building socialism.
9. Talked with Phil Kelleher, House Armed
Services Committee staff, about the routine letter from Chairman Rivers to the
Director asking for a report on the Ryan bill to amend the CIA Act. Kelleher
agreed that there was no point of reporting on this since obviously the Com-
mittee intended to take no action. He asked for the return of the letter and I
handed it to him. We can consider the matter closed.
10.1 Talked with Mr. Woodruff, Senate Appropriations
Committee stall, in connection with an appropriate letter on our supplemental.
He stated he expects the supplemental will have completed congressional action
before the Easter recess and he hopes to have our letter before then. He said
he would get together with Mr. Michaels on this.
Woodruff advised he had spoken with Senator Russell, with Senator Young
present, about the Senator visiting sensitive Agency facilities. Woodruff
reports that Senator Russell was happy to see Senator Young taking an interest
and certainly had no objection. He is particularly interested in the fact that
Woodruff and Darden would also be able to visit these facilities.
