15.1 Talked further with Bill Woodruff, on the staff
of the Senate Appropriations Committee, regarding the material we are
preparing on research grants and showed him a copy of the draft of our
transmittal letter to Senator Richard Russell (D. , Ga. ), Woodruff made a
suggested change in the letter and added that he did not see any problems
with regard to this. He intends to suggest to Senator Russell that he
(Woodruff) show this list to Senator .Mike Mansfield (1). , Mont.) and then
return it to the Agency for safekeeping.
I also talked with Woodruff about the bill which Senator Sam J. Ervin,Jr,
(D. , N. Car.) had reintroduced 782 I asked Woodruff for any thoughts he
had as to how we should handle this. He suggested that we work through
Senator Birch Bayh (D. , Ind.) in an attempt to solve our problem within the
Senate Judiciary Committee. He also suggested that Mr. Helms raise this 25X1
as a problem the first time he meets with the CIA. Subcommittee.
16. Charles Kirbow, on the staff of the Senate
Armed Services Committee, talked with me briefly about the discussions which
have arisen over the the continuation of the Homrable Stanley Resor as Secretary
of the Army. Kirbow said that several members of the Committee, especially
Senator Margaret Chase Smith (R. , Maine), have expressed their views that
President Nixon should have formally reappointed Secretary Resor and submitted
his name to the Senate Armed Services Committee for approval. Secretary
Resor's case has touched off a controversy in the Committee concerning the
continuance in office of employees of President Johnson's administration. Kirbow
mentioned this only because it is conceivable (though he thinks unlikely) that a
similar question could be raised regarding Mr. Helm's continuance in the position
of DCI. Kirbow wanted us to know that should this arise it was not the result of
any feeling against Mr. Helms but rather the involvment in the overall problem.
