10. Talked with Jack Stempler, DOD, indicating
that we had a coordinated letter between GSA and ourselves which would
be shown to Senator Russell Long or Mr. Hunter, of the Senator's staff.
I also indicated that we had reached the decision that it would be best if
the fact of the Agency involvement were made known. Mr. Stempler agreed
with me and my request that he set up an appointment with the Senator's
office and advise me.
11. Talked with Bill Woodruff, Senate
Appropriations Committee staff, showing him the Gross amendment to the
Foreign Service Authorization Act. Woodruff saw no practical way in which
we could insert our interests in this matter in the legislation or the report.
Woodruff felt we could well rationalize our situation as compensation for
services rendered rather than assistance.
12. alked with Al Westphal, House Foreign
Affairs Committee staff,- indicating that I had reviewed the Gross amendment
with Bob Michaels and Bill Woodruff and between us we had come up with
no good ideas regarding language in the report which Westphal is preparing
to write. Westphal said he thought we would not and thanked me for advising
him.
13.1 et with Senator Milton Young furnishing
him with a copy o the briefing notes had prepared on the
South Vietnamese elections. These were fully adequate for the Senator's
purposes and he was most appreciative. The Senator also discussed with
me his amendment to S. 1035, removing the FBI's complete exemption and
putting them in the partial exemption for CIA and NSA. He pointed out
that Senator Edward Kennedy. had been prepared to go on the floor to take
away the complete FBI exemption on the merits, but apparently after some
discussions in the Democratic Policy Committee, suggestions were made
that the amendment offered by Senator Young would be a better step and
would be better if offered by Senator Young.
