14. Jay Sourwine, Senate Internal Security
Subcommittee staff, called again concerning Svetlana Stalina. He said
that although he had checked with us on Friday and had been advised that
the Agency was not controlling her, he wanted to double check this fact.
He said he had been in touch with State Department and the FBI both of
whom also indicated that she was a free agent. Sourwine said it was
"incredible" that she was not under the control of any one of our three
agencies. I reaffirmed the position we had stated to him on Friday.
A short time later, Sourwine called again and said he had been in
touch with "Ernst" in the law firm representing Svetlana in connection with
issuing a subpoena for her appearance before the Subcommittee. Sourwine
made a rather veiled reference to the fact that Ernst mentioned that there
was cooperation on the part of the firm and the Government but I did not
press him on this. He said Ernst had advised him that the House Committee
on Un-American Activities had already made a request for Svetlana.
Sourwine was interested in knowing whether this request had been made
through the Agency adding that, in accordance with their agreement with
HCUA, they would not pursue a case in which HCUA was already involved.
I told Sourwine we had received no request from HCUA regarding Miss
Stalina and that as he knew we tried to be very careful about priorities of
requests between these two Committees. Sourwine gave no indication of
irritation but seemed to be interested in checking the f acts.
Sourwine also asked if the Subcommittee would "run afoul of the
Agency" if they looked into the case of II told him I would check
on this and be in touch with him..
