6. (Confidential - LLM) Senator Barry Goldwater (R. , Ariz. )
called and in a very agreeablemanner asked if we had contacted Boyd
Edwards whom he had earlier referred us to as having some interesting
information on the situation in Burma. Later, based on discussion with
Messrs. I of FE Division, and with the quick support
of Mr. f DCS, I called Judy Rooney, the Senator's personal
secretary, and told her that we were aware of the activities of the person-
alties which had come to Edwards' attention but that we -re glad .;o meet
with Edwards and have an appolrta-,.:nt with him. Miss Rooney said the
Senator would be very pleased to hear this.

with Information Services Group of CRS, Miss Sykes was informed that she
could send the publication after removing the cover (which identifies it as
a CIA document).
8. (Secret - GLC) Met with Ed Braswell, Chief of Staff, Senate
Armed Services Committee, and briefed him on an Agency activity in
connection with the Middle East situation, emphasizing particularly the
sensitivity of the Agency's role and the fact that all policy aspects were
in the hands of the State Department.
I also informed Braswell of Chairman Rivers' position with respect
to our legislative package on retirement. I discussed with Braswell the
advisability of a single bill which would cover only our retirement ceiling.
He saw no advantage to our abandoning our other legislative proposals
unless we were in an absolute crisis on the ceiling, which is not the case
at the time. It was agreed that we would discuss this further when the
press of military procurement legislation is out of the way.
