OFFICE OF LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL
Monday - 12 June 1967
25X1 I Talked with Frank Meyer, in the office of
Representative Gerald Ford, and also talked with Representative Charles
Chamberlain. I advised that the Director would be unable personally to
give the briefing to the business group on the 14th of June due to pressure
of business. I indicated, however, that our number three man, Colonel
L.K. White, was available and was an excellent presenter. Mr. Meyer
said he was sure Representative Ford would understand and that they had
suspected this might be the case. Mr. Chamberlain said he was very sorry
adding that he wanted to think this over and would be in touch with me
tomorrow.
25X1
Talked with Mr. Robert Michaels, House
Appropriations Committee staff, and reviewed the intent of the Committee
in their letter on our appropriations. See Memorandum for the Record.

Kelleher, House Armed Services committee staff, and brought them up to
date on the situation in the Middle East. I also suggested that it might be
appropriate to have a meeting of the Subcommittee in the near future.
Mr. Blandford will take this up with the Chairman.

Handcarried to Forrest Rettgers, Adminis-

the Senator that there is no truth to the column. Rettgers said he understood
completely and appreciated the need for our no comment policy.
