Senator Russell.
Woodruff commented that Senator Russellis still in the hospital

mentioned the possibility however that this would be a briefing of Senators
Ellender and Milton Young only. Woodruff said that in the present climate
that it will be well to have the Director on the record with the Subcommittee
on Laos.
