5. The briefing, which was conducted at the secret level,
was very well received by each of the four staff members. Mr. Martiny
was particularly pleased by the overview of the intelligence community
and the Agency organization and legal background which had grown
hazy in his mind since the days when he was a member of the General
Accounting Office, Audit Staff, working on Agency accounts. Mr. Kazy,
a former Administrative Assistant to Senator Barry Goldwater (R. , Ariz.
Mr. Richard Barton, who was employed at AID as an intern for two
summers, and Mr. Lockhart, a young former GAO attorney, found
this exposure to the intelligence world most helpful in the light of the
upcoming Committee consideration of the Ervin Bill and the
restructuring of the Civil Service classification system.

assistants were quite forthcoming in their compliments for the
briefing and the courtesies extended to them.
