1. Accompanied Mr. Carl Duckett to a briefing of
Bill Woodruff, Counsel, Senate Appropriations Committee, on the two
sensitive collection programs about which Woodruff had made inquiry.
Woodruff expressed his appreciation for Mr. Duckett's thorough briefing
and said he was favorably disposed toward the Agency's program. He added,
however, he would give the Air Force an opportunity to express their views
on the similar Air Force program. Woodruff expects Chairman Ellender will
send a letter to the Secretary of Defense and to the Director asking that a
decision be made in favor of one of these programs but not both.
