Friday - 11 July 1969
1. 1 1 Talked with Bill Woodruff, on the staff of
the Senate _Abbrs atio omm'ttee and advised him that the special
clearances for Guy McConnell have been approved. I also urged Woodruff
to get together with Bob Michaels, on the staff of the House Appropriations
Committee, at his earliest opportunity to discuss the procedure to be
followed concerning the funding of the Radios.
2. I I Called Winston Bryant, on the staff of
Senator John McClellan (D., Ark. ), to advise him of Senator Ervin's
decision to allow the Agency to appear before the Constitutional Rights
Subcommittee in executive session on S. 782. I told Bryant the appearance
has been scheduled for the 22nd of July at 10:30 a. m. and expressed our
sincere hope that Senator McClellan would attend.
3. I I Advised Oneta Stockstill, on the staff
of the House Armed Services Committee, that the week of 28 July appeared
to be the best time for the Director to brief the full House Armed Services
Committee. Mrs. Stockstill said she will pass this on and be back in touch
with us with a suggested date.
4. 1 -1 Senator Joseph Tydings' (D. , Md.) office
called and suggested that see the Senator at 2:00 p, m. on Thursday, 17 July.
This has to do with our interest in approaching the Senator regarding an
Agency employee with whom he has been in contact.
5. I I Mr. Houston advised that OGC had been
in touch with the Library of Congress on the inquiry which originated with
Representative Dante B. Fascell's (D. , Fla.) Subcommittee on Legal and
Monetary Affairs of the House Operations Committee. OGC has taken care
of this item and there is no further need for contact with the Congressman.

11. In the absence of Representative Dante B. Fascell
(D. , Fla. ), talked wit r. Michael Finley, of his staff, regarding the letter
from the Library of Congress for information concerning Agency investigative
personnel. I explained to Finley that our General Counsel's office was advising
the Library of Congress that we would not be responding to their request which
was being made as a result of a requirement on Congressman Fascell's Sub-
committee on Legal and Monetary Affairs of the House Operations Committee.
I asked Finley, however, to assure Mr. Fascell tliat we would be glad to discuss
this matter with him personally if he desired anything from the Agency. I also
asked for an opportunity to speak with Mr. Fascell about this at his earliest
convenience. I left with Mr. Finley a copy of the Library of Congress letter to us.
12. Met with William Woodruff, on the staff of the enate
ApR,ropriations Committee, and briefed. him on the latest information on Soviet
ICBMs as well as the latest developments in the Sino-Soviet situation, scheduled
visit of Soviet warships to Cuba, and the intensive air action in the Middle East.
I also talked with Woodruff regarding our conversations with Robert
Michaels, of the House Appropriations Committee staff, on?RFE and RDC. (See
Memorandum for the Record for details. )
13. Met with Robert Michaels, on the staff of the House
Appropriations ommi ee, and advised him of my conversation with Bill Woodruff
on the subject of the Radios and RDC. Michaels agreed it would be desirable for
him to get together with Woodruff on this. I indicated that we would be perfectly
happy to get together with them jointly or separately whichever they wished.
14, I I Picked up from the Subcommittee on National
Security an International Operations, an advance copy of the speech which
Senator Henry Jackson (D. , Wash.) will be giving on the floor today, and which
