4. and I met with Mr. William
Woodruff, Senate Appropriations Committee staff, and reviewed with him the
data on Agency research grants which had been prepared pursuant to Bureau
of the Budget Bulletin 69-8. Woodruff .appeared completely satisfied with his
review of this material and Eagle's responses to his questions. Woodruff
made notes on the number of contracts by general categories and the cost
of programs by categories (without mentioning specific projects). He said
he would transmit this information to Senator Russell in a Top Secret
memorandum with a suggestion that he (Woodruff) meet with Senator Mansfield
advising him that he had reviewed the material and had reached the judgment
that none of this information could be included in the Democratic Policy
Committee's study on this subject because of the sensitive nature of the
projects themselves.
Advised Woodruff that the Director wished to meet with Senator
Russell on Monday to discuss with him the matter of his response to
Senator Ervin regarding the question of his appearance before the Ervin
Subcommittee on S. 782. Woodruff said he thought this was a good idea
and merely asked that we provide him (Woodruff) with a one-page statement
of our specific objection to specific sections of the bill without referring
to any meeting with the Director. Woodruff will give this to Senator Russell
on Saturday as an aide-memoire on a subject of concern to the Agency.
5. Contacted Mr. Proctor Jones, on the staff
of Senator Richard Russell (D., Ga.), and asked if the Senator could see
the Director sometime during the day on Monday, 17 March. Jones tentatively
suggested that the Director meet with the Senator in the latter's office at
11:00 a. m. on that day. Mr. Jones will confirm this with us later.
