8.1 1 Met with William Woodruff, Senate Appropriations
Committee start, an provided him with follow up material to all of
the questions raised at the Director's briefing of the Senate Defense
Appropriations Subcommittee on 9 September. These included an
unclassified statement on Soviet and Chinese Communist military
potential for Senator Russell, a document on the extermination of
Ibos in Biafra for Senator Allott, material for Senator Stennis on
the percentage of Soviet gross national product which was being used
for defense and information on West European communist leaders for
Senator Mundt. An item prepared for Senator Kuchel on Soviet aid
to North Vietnam will be transmitted to the Senator directly as Woodruff
has suggested.
9. Advised Colonel Everett Harper, on the
staff of the Senate Preparedness Investigating Subcommittee, that a
copy of SNIE 13-10-68 had been left in the secure area of the Joint
Committee on Atomic Energy and could be reviewed by appropriate
Preparedness Subcommittee members at their convenience. Harper
expressed interest in seeing this as soon as possible.
Talking further with Harper regarding our concern about several
items in the Subcommittee's report on strategic power. Harper said he
could see our reasons for preferring to avoid references to the lag in
intelligence lead time with respect to technological breakthroughs. He
said my suggestion for dropping the word intelligence from this phrase
was acceptable to him but that he would have to discuss it further
with Jim Kendall.
10. 1 Accompanied Mr. Carl Duckett to a briefing
of Senators Cooper and Percy. William i ler, of Senator Cooper's'
staff, and Scott Cohen, of Senator Percy Is staff, were also present.
