4. I IJMM) Accompanied the Director in meeting Senator
John Stennis regarding Senator Fulbright's request for our National Estimates.
See Memo for the Record.
5. I I- JMM) Frank Slatinshek, Assistant Chief Counsel,
House Armed Services Committee, called to say Chairman Lucien Nedzi would
like to bring the Intelligence Subcommittee and staff to headquarters for a
breakfast and morning briefing on Monday, 4 October. Slatinshek said Nedzi
would like to begin with an informal breakfast discussion with the Director,
to be followed by "staff briefings" by senior Agency officers regarding their
respective responsibilities, after which they would like a tour of the headquarters
building. Slatinshek said they plan to devote their entire morning to their visit.
He explained the Chairman would hope to meet with the Director at a later date,
after visiting various other members of the intelligence community, to hear
from the Director regarding his role in the community. Slatinshek also said
Nedzi would like a briefing on State Department intelligence on 7 October, and
asked me to pass this word on to my opposite number in the Department.
After consulting the Director and Colonel White, I called Slatinshek
back to confirm the 4 October session and to suggest the visitors plan to
stay for an informal -roundup discussion at lunch which Slatinshek thought a
good idea and will take up with Nedzi.
I called Harry Symmes, State Department Congressional Relations,
to relay Slatinshek's message. Mr. Symmes said he would take up the
matter with Ray Cline and get in touch with Slatinshek.
6. I F JMM) Dorothy Fosdick, Staff Director, Subcommittee
on National Security and International Operations, called to relay a sensational
rumor regarding the Soviet leadership which she picked up from a press
contact. After checking with OCI, I advised her that the rumor was a gross
distortion of a relatively trivial but extremely sensitive intelligence item
and that the matter should in no circumstances be discussed with anyone,
to which she agreed.
7. GLC) By way of followup to my conversation with
him on Friday, I left with Mr. David Johnson, on the staff of Representative
Michael Harrington (D., Mass.), an Agency brochure and exchanged with
him bibliography lists of books on the Agency and the intelligence community.;
The list given me is an eleven page bibliography prepared by the Library of
Congress for Representative Nedzi.
