5.1 I Called Ed Braswell, Chief of Staff, Senate
Armed Services Committee, to say the Director had returned from his
trip and was interested in getting in touch with Senator Stennis. Braswell
said the Senator would probably not be back in town until after the elections.
Braswell suggested we call Mr. Cresswe.ll, of the Senator's personal
staff, for detailed information on the Senator's plans.
Called Mr. Cressweil who said the Senator would be out on a tour
of military bases in the southern U. S. from Monday, 26 October, until
Thursday, 29 October. He suggested the Director call the Senator's
Mississippi office in De Kalb about getting together. Cressweil did not
expect the Senator back in Washington before mid-November. He said
if he was in touch with the Senator he would mention the Director's interest
in seeing him.
6. Met with Mr. Frank Slatinshek, Acting Chief
Counsel, House . rme ervices Committee, who queried me on the Soviet
test of capability to intercept in low earth orbit. He had apparently been
queried during the day by members of the Committee. Information
currently available, coupled with re-briefing of the test observed in 1968,
was sufficient to answer his present questions.
I also briefed Mr. Slatinshek on the "Markham" control and data
system use in Egypt; Soviet SS-9 test; the I Soviet use
of Singapore facilities; and Soviet ZOND-8.
7. I I Met with Garner J. Cline, Counsel, House
Subcommittee on Immigration and Nationality, who told me that he will be
travelling to Chile right after the elections with Representative Joshua
Eilberg (D. , Pa. ). It was agreed that I will provide Mr. Cline with an
informal briefing on the situation in Chile a week or so before departure.
I also discussed with Mr. Cline a case involving private legislation
for residence credit during service with the Agency outside the U. S.
Although he agreed to think about it, he indicated that present Committee
rules would preclude approval of such a case and would require that the
individual meet with the Committee prior to any consideration of such a bill.
I also gave
Mr. Cline an informal outline of information available
concerning Mr. CI
