Later, Miss Sue McCloud, in the office of Representative John Brademas (D. , Ind.) called to ask if we published the Middle East Daily Report and whether it was available. I said we would be pleased to make it available to the Congressman, which prompted her to ask if it could be made available to a private person. -I explained the "official use only" nature of the report and the availability of some of its contents through the Library of Congress in the White Book. Later Mss McCloud called to advise that the Congressman would be writing us concerning this request.

He recalled the briefing and said he understood the sensitivity of the matter and would deal with it accordingly, but he could not remember what had spurred his inquiry or even the fact that he had signed the letter to Secretary Laird in this connection. He suggested I take the matter up with Carl Marcy, Chief of Staff of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. I met with Carl Marcy and told him in very general terms of the nature and sensitivity of the project and asked his cooperation in protecting its security.

(Unclassified - JMM) On Saturday, 26 July, Dorothy Fosdick, Staff Director of the Subcommittee on National Security and International Operations, said that during the Senate ABM debate on 25 July Senator Fulbright had claimed that U. S. defense spending exceeded by 25 or 30 percent that of the Soviet Union. Miss Fosdick said Senator Jackson would like to be briefed on this subject. I said I was sure we could arrange this, but thought possibly Senator Jackson had been present at one of our earlier presentations regarding Soviet and U. S. military expenditures. She said if the Senator wanted to pursue the matter she would let me know. 25X1 2. (Secret - JMM) Met with Senator Stuart S min ton in response to his query regarding our Also present was Mr. Pat Holt, Consultant of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Senator Symington asked if I preferred to deal with the matter orally. I said I did because it was a sensitive matter which could be properly dealt with Symington said this was perfectly all right with him but the questions contained in his letter to us were formulated by Messrs. Pincus and Paul, staff investigators of his Subcommittee, and it would be much more useful for us to brief them upon their return from their Far East trip than to br ief th t r. He said for this reason he 25X1 did not think it necessary fo to come over and 25X1 although he asked that his persona gree ings be conveyed tol It was agreed that we would meet with Pincus and Paul to clear up the matter soon after their return (date still undetermined). 3. (Confidential - JMM) Attempted to call Chairman Rivers, House Armed Services Committee, regarding Representative Clement Zablocki's request that we testify concerning the Soviet MIRV program before Zablocki's Subcommittee on National Security of House Foreign Affairs Committee. Since Rivers was not available I referred the question to Mr. Blandford who called back later to say that he had taken the matter up with Rivers who would neither approve nor disapprove our complying with Zablocki's request, but would recommend that we take up the problem with Speaker McCormack since it raised a jurisdictional question.

(Confidential - JMM) Discussed with Boyd Crawford, Staff Administrator, House Foreign Affairs Committee, Representative Zablocki's request for a briefing of his Subcommittee on National Security regarding the Soviet MIRV program. Crawford checked with Chairman Morgan who agreed with our suggestion that the briefing be done by Mr. Duckett on an "unofficial" basis with no transcript or publicity. I thereupon met with Representative Zablocki and Subcommittee Staff Consultant Jack Sullivan, who agreed to this procedure and explained details which they wanted covered. (See Memo for the Record) 5. (Secret - JMM) At the Director's request, called Robert Michaels, House Appropriations Committee staff, to make a date for the Director to meet with Chairman Mahon later this week. Michaels will call back. 6. (Confidential - JGO) Received a call from Mr. Al Tarabochia, Senate Internal Security Subcommittee staff, who advised that he had learned from Cuban sources that on 14 July a band of Bolivians in the Concha Bamba area are alleged to have killed and then burned the man who gave away Che Guevara. It is also alleged that one Pampa, who was supposed to have escaped back to Cuba through Chile, was also involved. After checking with WH I advised that the guide who led the Bolivian army to Che Guevara has been reported by the Bolivian press as having been executed by Bolivian communists. 25X1 25X1 Internal Use Only - JGO) Received a call from a representative of th who advised that his company had heard nothing more from Agency representatives and inquired whether there is anything further he might do.

(Secret - JGO) Received a call from Mr. George Murphy, Joint Committee on Atomic Energy staff, who inquired whether the CIA has testified in secret session or otherwise that "the Russians are not proceeding with deployment of the ABM" as stated by Senator J. W. Fulbright (D., Ark.) in floor debate on Friday, 25 July 1969. He advised further that one of his members had raised a question whether this meant that the Russians were cutting back on the number deployed and he himself found no such inference in Senator Fulbright's statements. I agreed that the Agency had not indicated any cutback in the program. This appeared to satisfy Mr. Murphy on the point. In closing the conversation he stated that it is his understanding that the President had indicated 67 launchers at a briefing on 14 March and that he would appreciate verification of this unclassified item. He does not need a classified response. cc: Ex-Dir/Compt O/DDCI Mr. Houston Mr. Goodwin DD IT DD IS DD/S&T EA/DDP OPPB SECRET -Legislative Counsel Approved For Release 2006/11/30: CIA-RDP72-00337R000300100002-3 Approved For Release 2006/11/30: CIA-RDP72-00337R0003001(8O@R4s C ails In SECRET Out JOURNAL OFFICE OF LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL Friday - 25 July 1969 1.

(Internal Use Only - JGO) Received a call from Mr. Robert Fleming, assistant to Representative Claude Pepper (D., Fla.), who is seeking information for a constituent and friend of Representative Pepper concerning the possible establishment of a transmitter in the Miami area beamed at Castro's Cuba. I referred Mr. Fleming to Mr. Jack Leahy, in the office of the Assistant Secretary of State, Legislative Affairs, as the appropriate source of information for an open response from Representa- tive Pepper. Mr. Leahy has been advised. 4. (Confidential - JMM) Jack Sullivan, Staff Consultant, Subcommittee on National Security Policy and Scientific Developments, House Foreign Affairs Committee, called to say that Subcommittee Chairman Clement Zabl,-)cki wished the Director to testify before the Subcommittee on Soviet MIRV testing on either Tuesday, 29 July, or Thursday, 31 July. I said Tuesday was out of the question because of the Director's appearance before the House Armed Services Committee but I would call back regarding Thursday. I said we normally preferred such Subcommittee briefings to be cleared with the Chairman of the full Committee and asked whether Chairman Morgan had been consulted on this. Sullivan said this had not been done, but reluctantly agreed to take the matter up with Boyd Crawford, Staff Administrator for the full Committee. sECREr Approved For Release 2006/11/30: CIA-RDP72-00337R000300100002-3 Approved For Release 2006/11/30: CIA-RDP72-00337R000300100002-3 SECRET Journal - Office of Legislative Counsel Page 2 Friday - 25 July 1969 5.

After checking with Chairman Morgan, Crawford advised that the Chairman endorsed Zablocki's request for a briefing. (See Memo for the Record for details. ) 6. (Confidential - JMM) Called Frank Slatinshek, Assistant Chief Counsel, House Armed Services Committee, and informed him of the request to appear before the Zablocki Subcommittee. Slatinshek said he personally couldn't see how we could avoid complying, but thought Chairman Rivers and Chief Counsel Blandford should be informed in advance in case they have any strong objections. Since Rivers and Blandford were out of town for the weekend, Slatinshek agreed with my suggestion that we explain to Crawford that we normally discuss sensitive matters of this kind only before, or with the concurrence of, our parent Subcommittees and that therefore we want to check it out with Chairman Rivers before making a firm commitment. 7. (Secret - JMM) Mrs. Laird, Secretary to Senator Stuart Symington, called on behalf of the Senator to say he wanted to see me at 2:15 on Monday 28 July.

(Confidential - GLC) Mr. John Clarke, OPPB, received a call from Jim Clark, in the Bureau of the Budget, saying that Pamela Turner, on the staff of Senator Edward J. Gurney (R., Fla. ), called and asked who reviewed the budget of Radio Free Europe. Miss Turner also called OLC and left a message raising the same question. After consultation with talk with him. This appears to close out the ?mafter at least fnr fhP mnmant of the CA Staff, it was agreed that the Bureau of the Budget would inform Miss Turner that Radio Free Europe was a private corporation and that she s hould direct her queries to the Radio Free Europe offices in New York. Meanwhile OLC would talk with Miss Turner and make it clear to her that if Senator Gurney had a personal interest in this we would be glad to talk with him privately. Miss Turner called back a few moments later and said Senator Gurney had told her that he thought she should not press the Radio Free Europe question. Therefore, she was canceling her call.

A. draft of this language has been forwarded to OPPB. Woodruff asked if we could provide him with a blind memorandum on Soviet chemical and bacteriological warfare. I briefed Braswell on our hearing before Senator Ervin's Constitutional Rights Subcommittee on S. 782. Braswell and I discussed the status of the ABM debate and he expressed the opinion that the ABM issue would come to a vote next week. In this connection Braswell said that he had been given the responsibility for sanitizing the record of the secret session of the Senate on the ABM and said that he might be in touch with DOD and ourselves on this. Later in the day Braswell called and said that if we wished to have the first crack at sanitizing the record of the secret session we could do so. He would like to get started on this some time tomorrow and in view of the ground rules imposed this year would like the security review to be done in the Committee offices. I told him I would be back in touch with him in the morning on this. I mentioned the fact that the Daniels bill passed the House yesterday and indicated that we were delaying action on our retirement amendments, for the present at least, until we see what action the Congress takes on this. Braswell repeated his previous expression of opinion that the bill will be changed substantially in the Senate. He added, however, that any action taken on the Daniels bill should be reflected through amendments to the CIA Retire- ment and Disability System.

He characterized the situation as a toughy. It was his observation that Senator Ervin has his ideas and he is firm in them. He noted that Senator Ervin is highly reputed in the Senate and that he will be given credit when the bill goes back to the floor for having looked into the matter very thoroughly. Senator Hruska does not believe that Senator Ervin will change his position and does not believe that there is any real possibility of amendment on the floor of the Senate. On the meritshe noted that the provisions of this bill pose a real problem and, as in thel he personally is in agreement that the employer should be the judge of the employee's conduct. In parting he suggested if we had any further ideas to come by to see him. I thanked the Senator for his consideration. 8. (Confidential - JGO) Met with Mr. B. B.

Mr. Bray does not have a copy but once again advised that should it be needed it will provide adequately for the Agency's needs. He gave the impression that he feels it is good that the Agency is continuing to note its opposition to S. 782 in the Senate and that this might well be helpful if the matter does come to issue again in the House. Mr. Bray also advised that the Manpower and Civil Service Subcom- mittee had unanimously reported the court leave bill in executive session this morning and that in all probability it will be going before the full Committee on Thursday.

(Secret - JGO) Met with Mr. Arthur Kuhl, Senate Foreign Relations Committee staff, who advised that the corrected transcript and a covering memorandum forwarded by the Defense Department were received Tuesday evening, but the content of the memorandum coupled with Secretary Laird's request that the memorandum be included in the published transcript required determination by the Chairman which is delaying sending the transcript to the printers. It is Mr. Kuhl's feeling at this point that if galley proofs can be obtained by the end of the day on Thursday the Chairman will probably request corrections by Monday and forward them to the printers on Monday. Since this matter is rather indefinite at this moment, however, he advised that he would call me in the morning or as soon as definite information is available during the day. 2.
