say that the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy had been in touch with
Dr. Chamberlain directly regarding the last Chinese Communist nuclear
25X1 test. As a result I will be briefing Mr. Murphy and possibly
Mr. Conway, of the Joint Committee staff, on this this afternoon.
25X1 3. called to
25X1
4. Mr. Murphy, Joint Committee on
Atomic Energy staff, called and asked if the Agency's budget or personnel
ceilings are going up or down for Fiscal Year 1969. He said he was
interested in any unclassified statement we could make on this subject.
When I queried Mr. Murphy as to the reason for his request, he said that
the Committee would be holding hearings on the AEC budget in the near
future and he is interested in knowing what other departments and
agencies such as State, DOD, NSA and ourselves would be doing. He
said if there was no unclassified information available or no unclassified
statement made by the Agency, he would eliminate our Agency from
his comparisons. I indicated that this was in fact the case.
