Journal - Office of Legislative Counsel
Tuesday - 13 July 1971
14. Accompanied the Director, Colonel White and
Messrs. Karam.essines, Duckett, Tweedy and John Clarke who appeared
before Chairman Mahon and Representatives Bow, Andrews and Minshall,
of the House Appropriations Committee, to discuss the community and Agency
budgets. See Memo for Record for details.
15. Ed Braswell, Chief Counsel and Staff
Director, Senate Armed Services Committee, called to say Chairman Stennis
would appreciate a briefing on the Agency budget for himself and Senator
Margaret Chase Smith tomorrow afternoon, possibly at 2:00 or 2:30 p.m.
16. I I Called Joe Wolf, State Department, regarding
Senator Stuart Symington's letter to the Secretary asking for information about
U. S. agreements and arrangements for the exchange of intelligence and
other classified information. I emphasized our concern that nothing be said
which would commit any of us to anything in this regard, since I felt it raised
a principle of primary concern to the Director in connection with intelligence
sources and methods. Mr. Wolf said he fully appreciated this adding he and
Ray Cline had discussed the matter at some length and speculated that Symington
was mainly concerned not about intelligence liaison but about the exchange of
other classified information, perhaps based on intelligence on high levels
within the NATO community. He mentioned atomal information as an example.
Mr. Wolf said he planned to examine the matter further and perhaps call a
meeting of interested agencies to discuss it before a final response to Symington.
17. Called Art Kuhl, Chief Clerk, Senate Foreign
Relations Committee, to remind him that we looked to him to ensure the security
of the conclusions of al_study which we had given to Phil Trimble, of the
,Subcommittee on Arms Control, International Law and Organization. Kuhl
said he already had it in his safe.
