1. Mr. Maury and I met with John W. Dean, Associate
Deputy Attorney General for Legislation; J. Walter Yeagley,
Assistant Attorney General, Internal Security Division; and
Kevin T. Maroney, Chief, Appeals and Research Section,
Internal Security Division, to discuss S. 782.
2. We told the Justice officials of our talks with Senator
Ervin, our offer to testify in executive session, and his rebuff
proposing an open hearing. We also gave what information we
had as to the attitude of different members of the Congress,
and briefed them on our contacts in the Executive Branch, particu-
larly with Ken BeLieu. They agreed that the bill was basically
a bad one, and from our point of view the worst part was the
access by employees or applicants to the Federal courts.
Mr. Dean mentioned a memorandum he had seen from the
Federal Bureau of Investigation to the Deputy Attorney General
strongly criticizing the bill's predecessor, S. 1035, but mentioned
that Mr. Wozencraft's subsequent testimony was somewhat
watered down.
3. Mr. Dean said he would mention our briefing to
Mr. BeLieu when he sees him this evening.
