Rivers, House Armed Services Committee, and talked with his Secretary,
Mrs. Bull, about a meeting with Mr. Rivers to get his desires regarding our
upcoming (27 May) briefing of the CIA Subcommittee. Mrs. Bull said that
Mr. Rivers would be out of town until early next week, but would be at Cape
Kennedy over the weekend and suggested I try to discuss the problem with
him there. Otherwise, she said I should contact her early Monday, 19 May.
4. (Unclassified - CEA) Mrs. Ziebarth, in the office of Representative
Henry Schadeberg (R. , Wis. ), called on behalf of a constituent,
who said he had written to the Agency in March asking for employment

immediately.
5. (Confidential - GLC) James Lowenstein, on the staff of the,Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, called and said he has a problem with our answer
to one of the questions posed during the Director's appearances before Senator
Gore's Subcommittee. The answer concerning Lowenstein has to do with the
concentration of the population in the U. S. and the Soviet Union. After talking 25X1A
with Mr. Bruce Clarke, OSR, and of his staff, I attempted to
clarify this for Lowenstein. He is sti having trouble with it however and asked
that we submit a corrected response to this question. We will work with OSR

6. (Confidential - GLC) James Gehrig, Staff Director of the Senate
Space Committee, expressed interest in the number of Soviet Generals who
have died or who have been killed in the past few weeks. He was also interested
in knowing whether we had seen Dr. Charles Sheldon's recent article (having
to do with a comparison with U. S. and Soviet space programs) and what we
thought of it. On the first question, I told Gehrig that while the number of
deaths of Soviet Generals has been somewhat high in recent weeks it is not
unusually so. I added I would drop by tomorrow and talk with him about this
and the Sheldon article.
7. (Unclassified - GLC) Made arrangements forl
and me to meet with Mr. Pat Holt, of the Foreign Relations Committee staff,
tomorrow to give him the briefing on insurgency in Latin America.
8. (Confidential - GLC) Returned to the Senate Armed Services
Committee the transcripts of the DOD testimony before the Committee on
13 May.
9. (Internal Use Only - LLM) Called Robert Hull, Department of
State, and learned that BOB had requested them to provide legislative
amendments to Foreign Service Retirement and Disability System to
implement transfer of credit and minimum guaranteed concepts. It was
agreed that leadership in this field should of necessity be the Civil Service
retirement system and that our respective amendments would be dependent
upon what was done by the Civil Service Commission in this field.
10. (Unclassified - LLM) Returned the earlier call of John Lofton,
Republican Congressional Committee staff, who had several suggestions which
he felt were improvements for the FBIS Area Books and thanked him for his
thoughts. Based on my earlier discussion withi FBIS, was
able to satisy his primary needs by suggesting that he subscribe to the
Political Handbook of the World published by the Council on Foreign Relations.
This seemed to fully satisfy his interests.
