5? I IMr. Scott Cohen, in the office of
Senator Char es Percy R. , Ill. I, called to set up a briefing for himself
and William G. Miller, of Senator Cooper's staff, on the Soviet ABM
System. Mr. Cohen said that he and Miller were working on this as legmen
for their Senators and that the information is needed in connection with the
consideration of the Defense Appropriation bill. I told Mr. Cohen that we
would relay his request and be back in touch.
6. Met with Representative F. Edward
Hebert, o the Hardy National Defense Posture Subcommittee, who
advised that on the strong recommendation of the Embassy in Stockholm
he had not attempted to meet with the military deserter who is a son
of one of his Louisiana constituents, The Embassy had advised that
the lad is a very tough character and that previous attempts by the Embassy
in a similar case had resulted in virtual entrapment of an Embassy officer.
I advised Mr. Hebert in general terms, concerning the ASA
military deserter, information that was passed to the Chairman of Armed
Services through Mr. Blandford on last Friday.
Mr. Hebert noted that the Subcommittee trip had been a very busy
and trying one. He also made mention of Committee meetings with various
ambassadors and others. It is his feeling that the overall Committee
effort was well worth while.
Mrs. Olga Watkins, in the office of Representative William Bates,
concerning the news releases this week by the Republican Policy
Committee Task Force on national security. It was noted that in addition
to the 37-page report published in the Congressional Record by Senator
Tower on Wednesday, an additional report on the National Security Council
and national security would probably be forthcoming today.
