4. (Internal Use Only - JSW) Senator John Stennis called inquiring
if the Agency could furnish him a briefing on the PUEBLO matter. A.
time was set for 2:30 today. At the Director's request, the DDCI and
John S. Warner were to meet with Senator Stennis. Subsequently,
Senator Stennis had to cancel.
5. (Internal Use Only - JSW) Senators Milton Young and Charles
Percy located me on the Hill and requested information on the PUEBLO
incident. I informed them both that the basic facts are in the public
domain and pointed out the Defense Department release on this. It
appeared as if both simply wanted Agency assurance that the facts as
being reported are accurate.
6. (Internal Use Only - JSW) Briefed both William Woodruff,
Senate Appropriations Committee staff, and William Darden, Senate
Armed Services Committee staff, on the PUEBLO incident pointing
out that the basic facts are well in the public domain. In addition, I
asked Mr. Darden to mention to the Chairman that the Director stood
ready to brief the Chairman or be of whatever assistance possible.
Mr. Darden indicated that the Chairman had been briefed by the Pentagon
but he would pass the message.
7. (Internal Use Only - JSW) Talked with Pat Holt, Senate..
Foreign Relations Committee staff, about his recent trip. In discussing
Chile, Mr. Holt indicated there were varying views on the seriousness
of the situation but the general climate of the times and economy moves
were more involved in the probable difficulties in further aid.
8. (Internal Use Only - JSW) Talked with Mr. Michaels, House
Appropriations Committee staff, who indicated the Chairman would like
the Subcommittee to visit the Agency for breakfast and briefing on the
31st. Mr. Michaels stated that current planning was for all morning
and possibly longer. He had no suggestions as to content except he
thought a general discussion of the budget would be useful as well as a
visit to the "tank. "

9, I ket with Mr. Carl Marcy, Chief of Staff,
Senatp- Foy e;3gn R ~.la .;nns, Comittee, and returned to him copy number
two of the transcript of the Director's briefing of the Committee on
23 January. I received back from Mr. Marcy the copy of the Director's
prepared notes which had been provided for use by the Committee
reporter. After reviewing the Agency's suggested editorial changes
with Mr. Marcy, I entered the changes in longhand in every one of the
three transcripts. It is noted for the record with regard to the three
copies furnished the Committee by the contract reporting firm, copy
numbers one and three of the transcript were Xerox. Copy number two
was a typed carbon duplicate of the original.
10, Met with Mr. Robert Michaels, House
Appropriations Committee staff, and reviewed with him the arrangements
for the CIA. Subcommittee's visit and breakfast here at the Headquarters,
Wednesday, 31 January. Mr. Michaels advised that transportation would
be advisable for one and possibly more then one of the Committee members,
I met later in the day with Representative Andrews and arranged to pick
him up at the Congressional Hotel at 7:30 a. m. , Wednesday the 31st.
