ADDENDUM TO JOURNAL
OFFICE OF LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL
Friday - 18 April 1969
1. (Confidential - JGO) Met with Mr. Harris, House Subcommittee
on Manpower and Civil Service, who advised that the draft of Chairman
Henderson's bill on protection of constitutional rights of Federal employees
has been completed. The Chairman has it with him this weekend for study
and may introduce it in the coming week. No copies of the draft are available
at present.
2. (Secret - JGO) Met with Mr. James Lowenstein, on the staff
of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, concerning the Director's
scheduled appearance before the Gore Disarmament Subcommittee next
Wednesday, 23 April. Mr. Lowenstein advised that he is in the process of
preparing questions for the Chairman's use (See Memo for the Record) but
noted that the Chairman's principal objective is to ascertain what happened
in terms of new intelligence or otherwise between the time of JCS approval
of the Sentinel program and JCS approval of Safeguard. Tentative agreement
was reached with Mr. Lowenstein for security control of the transcript.
Mr. Lowenstein advised that staff members to be present on Wednesday
will be Messrs. Marcy and Kuhl, Mr. William Miller and himself. In response
to my question concerning Mr. Miller's status in attending a Committee briefing,
Mr. Lowenstein advised that Mr. Miller with others has applied for the staff
vacancy created by Bill Bader's departure and that there is some possibility
that Mr. Miller could be appointed before next Wednesday. In that event, he
(Mr. Lowenstein) would turn the whole matter of the Subcommittee briefing
which he is handling over to Mr. Miller. Mr. Lowenstein also advised that
"Bill Miller is the one that started all of this anyway. " Mr. Lowenstein said
that the Committee does not plan to announce the Wednesday briefing in the
Committee schedule but that members will be notified on Monday and should
question arise concerning the fact of the briefing, the Committee staff would
respond in the affirmative about the hearing. OCI, and the 25X1A
Office of Security have been notified.
