4. Met with Representative Lawrence
Hogan (R. , Md.) and discussed the invasion of privacy of Federal employees
legislation now pending before the Employee Benefits Subcommittee of the
House Post Office and Civil Service Committee. Representative Hogan
told me that his studies so far indicate to him a probable need for complete
exemption for the Agency, NSA, and the Bureau. He noted that he visited
NSA yesterday with Chairman Hanley and was impressed by their operations.
He is looking forward to visiting the Agency but is running a very tight
schedule these weeks. He suggested that a visit by the Subcommittee not
be delayed to accommodate his personal schedule but that if he was not able
to attend with the Subcommittee, he would very much like to come and
break bread with us at such time as it can be arranged. He noted that in
particular he would like a careful review of use of the polygraph and our
procedures which he feels is necessary to rebut statements made by
Senator Ervin. Arrangements for Representative Hogan's visit to the
Agency will be coordinated through Mr. Richard Barton, Committee staff,
and Marie Chaillet, personal secretary.
6. Met with Mr. Richard Barton, Employee
Benefits Subcommittee staff of the House Post Office and Civil Service
Committee., who told me that the first day of hearings had gone very well.
The testimony was received from Representatives Charles Wilson (D. , Calif. ),
Spark Matsunaga (D. , Hawaii), and Senator Ervin (D. , N. Car. ). Both
Representative Wilson and Senator Ervin were questioned somewhat extensively
by Representatives Hogan (R. , Md.) and Brasco (D. , N. Y.) concerning
exemption of agencies involved in national security matters from coverage
under the bill. Mr. Barton told me that as far as the Committee schedule is
concerned, the members of the Subcommittee have hearings starting at 9:3Q a. m.
each morning during the next couple of weeks with the exception of Monday,
17 May, and Friday, 21 May. We agreed that Y would check to see which would
be the best dates from the Agency's point of view and be back in touch with
him tomorrow.
