13. I IDiscussed with Frank Slatinshek, Assistant
Chief Counsel, House Armed Services Committee, yesterday's public statement
by Representative Lucien Nedzi (D. , Mich.) regarding the new Intelligence
Subcommittee which Nedzi will chair. Slatinshek said "pay no attention" to
Nedzi's statement that he planned public hearings on intelligence collection.
Slatinshek also said we should discount that Nedzi was looking for staff
personnel for his Subcommittee, since Chairman Hebert would veto any
hiring of new staffers. 25X1A
