41 I Accompanied Bruce Clarke to an
unclassified briefing of Ec~well, Senate Armed Services Committee
staff, on the nature of the Soviet threat. The briefing was primarily
directed to the historical background of the Soviet weapons program.
Mr. Clarke also reviewed material which had been prepared by Bill
Baroody, of DOD, and expressed his agreement with the figures contained
in Baroody's paper. Braswell said this briefing would be most helpful
to him in assisting Senator Stennis in his work on the ABM issue.
I asked Braswell if he had any reservations about our going ahead
with the submission of our retirement package as indicated in the outline
which we had provided him earlier. Braswell said he had no real problems
on this but suggested that instead of a flat repealer of the ceiling on our
number of retirements that we suggest a new ceiling figure. With regard
to the section on the reemployment of refired annuitants, Braswell
expressed some reservations about our following the Foreign Service
provisions, but did not state a flat objection.
