5? Messrs. Warner andu spoke to
Frank McNamara, Staff Director, HCUA, concerning a possible amend-
ment to the Internal Security Act of 1950 dealing with the unauthorized
disclosure of information. McNamara was most receptive to the suggestion
and saw no problems in handling it without involving the Agency. McNamara
thought it would be a good idea if we were to talk to J. Sourwine, Senate
Internal Security Subcommittee staff, concerning the amendment once it
has been introduced on the House side. McNamara also suggested that we
talk to Walter Yeagley at the Department of Justice before the amendment
is considered by the Committee.
6. I poke with Ed Braswell, Senate Armed
Services Committee stall, concerning the transfer of credit and minimum
guarantee proposals being reported by the Social Security Administration to
House Ways and Means and Senate Finance Committees. Mr. Braswell saw
no problem in including the CIA retirement system along with the civil service
and foreign service systems in these proposals. He thanked us for being in
touch on this.
7. I IMet with Mr. Robert Michaels, House Appro-
priations Committee stall, who advised that representatives of Mr. Warnke's
office had met with him on the 8th of January and cleared the final transfer 25X1
of funds supplementing the McNamara/Tidemand Agreement of January 1968
in the amount ofi
This
uis in addition to the previous 25X1
supplement. It is Mr. Mi
chael's understanding that negotiations 25X1.
were completed and agreement reached by the Defense Minister and Depart-
ment of Defense representatives during the week of January 17. I thanked
Mr. Michaels for the information.
I reviewed with Mr. Michaels the Chieu Hoi of the government of
Vietnam and the monthly rate of returnees during the last several years. Mr.
Michaels had no particular question. I also briefed Mr. Michaels on the
following items: (a) Soviet difficulties with the SL-12; (b) possible increases
in Soviet military aid to Cuba; (c) the absence of Kosygin from the Moscow
celebration for the Soyuz cosmonauts; and (d) possible additional Arab terror-
ist attacks on El Al aircraft.
8.1 Met with Mrs. Coralee Bull, Personal
Secretary to airman Rivers, who advised that the Chairman's schedule
for next week is quite unsettled. She also advised that he plans to be away
from the city tomorrow. I will check with the Chairman's office on Monday
and schedule a meeting for Admiral Taylor.
