25X1
I I and John S. Warner
met with William Paisley, Chief Counsel, Subcommittee on Criminal Laws
and Procedures of Senate Judiciary Committee. Mr. James Wood, of the staff,
was also present. We discussed the wiretap bill and the additional language
that had been approved by Justice, the two agencies and Mr. Fensterwald, of
the Subcommittee on Administrative Practice and Procedure staff. They
readily saw the necessity for this additional language and thought there would
be no problem in having it included. They indicated there was a meeting of
the Subcommittee scheduled for Monday and they waald try to have this worked
into it at that time. They also raised the question concerning admissibility
in court of evidence secured by national security wiretaps. It was indicated
that from a CIA viewpoint, we saw no reason to have a prohibition and while
security might normally bar use of such evidence, we would favor an
authorization. They then indicated that the current bill had knocked out
the prohibition in favor of an authorization. They also agreed that court
approvals of national security wiretaps would raise grave constitutional
problems and they did not think there was any serious movement in this
direction.
25X~ Mr. Jay Sourwine, Chief Counsel, Senate
pecial u committee on Internal Security, called to indicate the Subcommittee's
interest in serving as a vehicle for publication of Che Gueverra's diary.
Mr. Sourwine made good humored reference to the fact that the Subcommittee
had not been too successful in obtaining defectors for exploitation. I told
Mr. Sourwine that I would put his request into channels so that it could be
properly considered if and when the matter falls within Agency control.
Mr. Dave Phillips, of WH, was advised of this request. Mr. Phillips advises
that the diary most probably will find its way into public print, but for the
present is still under the control of the Bolivians.
