7. (Internal Use Only - JMM) Mr. Kenneth BeLieu, Senate Liaison
for the White House, returned my earlier call and I told him of our activities
in connection with the Ervin bill (S. 782). I mentioned the fact that Messrs.
Hampton and Modello, of the Civil Service Commission, shared our concern,
that Mr. Houston and I were hoping to see Senator Ervin in the next few days,
and I would also be seeing Representative Henderson. Mr. BeLieu said he
would like to hear from us further after we talked to Senator Ervin.
8. (Confidential - JMM) Mr. Drury Blair, Senate Immigration Sub-
25X1 committee staff, called to confirm that Senator Hartke's bill granting permanent
residence tol has not been introduced this session
25X1 and that was apparently trying to achieve permanent
residence through "administrative" procedure. Mr. Blair said if we wished
to pursue the matter further, we should get in touch with Immigration and
Naturalization Service.
9. (Unclassified - JMM) Mrs. Roberts, on the staff of Chairman
David N. Henderson, House Post Office and Civil Service Committee, called
to say that the Chairman could see me at 9:30 a. m. on Friday, 21 February.
10. (Secret - JGO) Met with Mr. J. R. Blandford, Chief Counsel,
House Armed Services Committee, and provided a copy of a blind memoran-
dum entitled, "The Changing Strategic Naval Balance, USSR vs US. " Mr.
Blandford was most appreciative and indicated that it would be included in
the Sea Power Subcommittee reference file for their guidance.
Mr. Blandford advised that he is working with the Chairman during
the day on the organization of the various special subcommittees and that
the CIA Subcommittee, in all probability, will continue as it was constituted
for the brief hearing on the;Pueblo on January 6.
Mr. Blandford was very interested in, and personally in accord with
the Agency determination that Agency documents, such as the NIS's, not
be furnished to committees of Congress. He also indicated his appreciation
for being advised of this determination since there is the ready possibility
that such a question would come to the attention of the Chairman. See Journal
item of 12 February 1969.
I briefed Mr. Blandford on East German travel restrictions to Berlin,
the Soviet collective leadership question, a limited Soviet ground forces demo-
bilization, anticipated Soviet space activities and present assessment of
