1. (Internal Use Only - LLM) Mr. William Harrison, BOB, called
requesting the Agency's position on the proposed amendments to the Military
Personnel and Civilian Employees Claims Act. I told him that the Agency was
in favor of raising the monetary ceiling and had so indicated to BOB in a letter
dated 2 May 1969. I also told him that we had received a similar call from
BOB about six weeks ago and had told the caller that if they could not locate
our original letter we would be pleased to send a copy and the caller said she
would let us know. I agreed to send a copy of the letter so that it could be

5. (Internal Use Only - JGO) Received a call from Miss Alice
Wahler, assistant to Representative William Cramer (R., Fla.), who
is interested in employment opportunities overseas in the broadcast
field for a young constituent friend of Representative Cramer. Since
the young man, although ostensibly well qualified in the broadcast field,
has little or no college training, I advised that he probably would have
difficulty in locating overseas employment with the Federal Government
in any capacity other than broadcasting but that we would be pleased to
provide employment forms for the constituent's use. Miss Wahler thanked

resentative John Brademas (D. , Ind.), for a subscription to the FBIS Middle
East Daily Report for Howard J. Dooley who is writing his doctoral dissertation
at the University of Notre Dame on the Suez Crisis. After touching base with
office and FBIS, I advised Miss Ball that this report was STAT
for "official use only" and she said she would try to close out the inquiry on
that basis.
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. SECRET

take the matter up with Carl Marcy, Chief of Staff of the Senate Foreign

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. He too was vague on the background of the Senator's query

1. (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

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

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.

4. (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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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. I

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.

3. (Secret - JMM) Discussed separately with Representative Philbin,
Russ Blandford, Chief Counsel, House Armed Services Committee, and Frank
Slatinshek, Assistant Chief Counsel, plans for the 29 July 1969 briefing
of the full House Armed Services Committee. All agreed that the primary
emphasis should be on matters related to the Safeguard controversy, i. e. ,
Soviet ICBM, ABM, MRV, and SLBM programs. We should also briefly
cover recent developments in ChiCom strategic capabilities and "trouble
spots" such as the Middle East and Vietnam. Mr. Blandford and Mr. Slatinshek
said the session would probably run from 10:00 A. M. to about 1:00 P. M. and
they thought an afternoon session unlikely. They suggested that the Director
have brief backup material in the event of questions on other matters of
current interest such as Korea, Cuba and Eastern Europe.

interposed later by Chairman Ervin, that this copy will be retained by the
Agency and at such time as corrections are completed they will be transferred
to the Subcommittee's master copy. No deadline was set for return of Agency
corrections. On the matter of deadline, Mr. Baskir noted partially in jest
that "since the Agency is obviously reluctant to publish the hearing" he would
not set a date on his own authority.
I talked to Mr. Baskir later in the day concerning the classification of
the transcript. Mr. Baskir advised that he would stamp the Subcommittee's
copy "Confidential" and treat it as classified material. He also advised that
he is ordering additional copies for the Subcommittee and will try to provide
two additional copies for Agency use.

7. (Confidential - JGO) I talked to Senator Roman Hruska (R., Nebr. )
after he left Senator Ervin's Subcommittee on Constitutional Rights. 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. Bray, Associate Staff
Director, House Post Office and Civil Service Committee, and advised
him that the Director had appeared before Senator Ervin's Subcommittee on
Constitutional Rights this morning. Mr. Bray advised that Representative
David Henderson's (D. , N. C.) bill is available on the back burner whenever
he decides to put it in the hopper. 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.

was very closely held by them and expressed concern that the classified

report entitled The Technological Gap-- The USSR versus the. U. S. and

2. (Confidential - GLC) Talked with Jay Sourwine, on the staff
of the Senate Subcommittee on Internal Security, about his request of
yesterday which was based on a newspaper column by Paul Scott. I told
Sourwine that, since Senator Jackson was a member of our Subcommittee,
he had access to a substantial amount of Agency information but it appeared
that in his speech on the Senate floor the other day he had drawn principally
on unclassified material which we had. provided him on members of the
Politburo. I told Sourwine we would be happy to provide him with this
information. Sourwine said he had just returned from lunch with Paul Scott,
who informed him that there was much more information in the Agency
report used by Jackson than he had used in his column. Scott told Sourwine
that information on the preeminence of Suslov was contained in the Agency
material but had not been used by Jackson.
Mr. Sourwine said he would like to make the usual request for
access to 'if and when he might be available tc the
Committee. " He added that, since Castro had talked to the Christian Science
Monitor, he assumed that he could talk with the Subcommittee. I told
Sourwine I would check on this and call him back.

Cord Meyer and me. While driving the Senator to Headquarters, I reviewed
the background of the Ervin bill, and during breakfast Bayh commented
favorably on the draft statement for the Subcommittee meeting on 22 July.
The Director gave the Senator a general orientation briefing regarding the
intelligence aspects of the Safeguard debate, etc. Mr. Duckett then answered
the Senator's questions regarding Soviet weapons and Mr. Smith regarding
the estimating process. The Senator appreciated the briefings and promised
to do what he could in connection with the Ervin bill. He said he and his wife
were visiting the USSR in August, and he accepted our suggestion for a
defensive briefing prior to his departure. He would also appreciate some
ideas on what Soviet personalities he might try to see, and what subjects
to discuss with them.

a call from Marcia McNaughton, on the staff of Senator Ervin's Constitutional

2. (Confidential - JMD) Mary McLaughlin, Senate Foreign Relations

testimony before the Gore Subcommittee of 23 April 1969 be forwarded to
the Committee for their use during the day. The Committee's copy of this
transcript was sent to Mrs. McLaughlin and returned at the end of the day.
The Committee will need the transcript for the next several days.

the word that Senator Ervin had reluctantly agreed to hear us regarding
S. 782 in executive session on 22 or 23 July. I thanked Senator McClellan
for his support in this matter and urged him if possible to be present, which
he said he would try to do.
4. (Confidential -GLC) Talked with Representative David H. Henderson
(D. , N. Car.) to advise him that Senator Ervin had agreed to allow the Director
to appear before his Subcommittee in executive session to state the Agency's
problems on the Senator's bill, S. 782. Mr. Henderson said he was glad we
were being given this opportunity to state our views and. said if he could do
anything to help us to please let him know.

Senate Subcommittee on Constitutional Amendments, to advise him that Senator

be subject to severe criticism. He asked if we would provide him with any
information that Senator Birch Bayh could use in this session in order to be
of assistance to us. I told Conrad I would be back in touch and thanked him
for his offer.

6. (Secret - JGO) Received a call from Miss Varney Porter,

of the changes in the transcript of the DCI/Laird testimony of 23 June.
Miss Porter indicated that in lines 22 through 26, page 167 of the tran-
script, Department of Defense advised that the statement made at that
point by the Chairman could be retained in the published statement pro-
vided the quotation marks at the beginning and end of the statement were
removed. Agency security review had requested deletion of the entire
statement. Miss Porter indicated, that as far as she knew this is the only
point of inconsistency in the security deletions requested by the Agency
and DOD. After review Miss Porter was advised that the Chairman's
statement might be retained in the published statement provided the
quotation marks were removed. Miss Porter was most appreciative.

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.
