1. I I Called Dr. Harold Rosen, Chairman
of the Group .for Advancement of Psychiatry in Baltimore, in response
to his call yesterday to the Director. Dr. Rosen explained that the
Group was conducting a symposium on 26 March on broad aspects of
psychiatry as applied to various fields and that Senator Ervin, who
will be a speaker there, suggested the Agency might like to send a
representative to discuss such subjects as "confidentiality" and
"invasion of privacy. " I told Dr. Rosen we normally did not participate
in matters of this kind and I doubted we would have much to contribute
but I would be back in touch.
2. Jim Gehrig, Staff Director, Senate Aero-
nautical and Space Sciences, called to say that Chairman Anderson wanted
two of the junior members of the Committee-Senators Weicker and Buckley--
briefed by the Agency preferably at 10:00 a. m. on Tuesday, 16 March.
He said he would like us to particularly emphasize to the Senators the
sensitivity of the material. He said he too planned to explain the security
problem and would like from us a little statement he could use for this
purpose. He added that Senators Goldwater and Cannon might also attend.
3. I I Accompanied Mr. Houston to a
meeting at the Department o State with Carl F. Salans, Deputy Legal
Advisor, Department of State, and Ambassador Wimberley Coerr
concerning the Case bill, S. 596, on transmittal of "international
agreements" to the Congress. (See Memorandum for the Record)
4. I I Met with Mr. Ralph Preston, House Appropria-
tions Committee staff, who asked when he could have the budget book for
his review in anticipation of meeting on our budget with the Chairman
and the group. Mr. Preston told me that the Committee schedule is
firm for each day up to the April 7 Easter recess but that, the Defense
Subcommittee will not be meeting on Fridays. He feels the Chairman
may well utilize one of these Fridays to meet on the Agency budget. He
also noted that his own schedule is such that we might try to plan to
review some of the documents held by the Committee on the 24th of
March or possibly another day during that week. I thanked Mr. Preston
and told him that I would be available. Mr. Clarke, OPPB, has been
advised.
I briefed Mr. Preston on the North Vietnamese infiltration rate
for Janul3'pr@da41@s~/~~1$G~-#13t3UU6~1~i~40~b-7Laos;
