SUBJECT: Director's Conversation with the President
Re Congressional Relations
1. On the afternoon of 23 June the Director told the DDCI and
me that he had just come from a conversation with the President on
the above subject during which the President laid down the following
guidelines:
a. We will write no letters to the Hill on substantive
matters.
b. . Oral briefings should be as "unspecific" as possible.
c. The Director will personally appear only before
standing congressional committees. Other committees and
individuals will be briefed by other Agency officers (who, per.
the Director's desire, should be accompanied by a representa-
tive of OLC as a "witness. ")
2. Subject to the above restrictions, we should try to be as
"forthcoming" as possible with Congress.
