11. ( I- PLC) Met with Administrative Assistant Pat
Swygert and Roger Mills, staff member, in the office of Representative
Charles Rangel (D. , N. Y. ), who were concerned with allegations in
Ramparts that CIA was involved in drug traffic in Southeast Asia. I
briefed along the lines of the Agency's noninvolvement in any drug traffic
and of our positive efforts assisting the Bureau of Narcotics and
Dangerous Drugs to identify sources and shipment of opium. Mr. Swygert
stated that his district is in the heart of Harlem and the drug situation is
a menace. He requested a briefing by a representative of the Bureau of
Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs and asked if I might arrange such a briefing
for him. I stated I would and he would be contacted accordingly.
12. ( - RJK) Tim Wyngaard, in the office of Senator
Mark Hatfield (R. , Oreg. ),called about
13. (0 - GLC) Dorothy Fosdick, Senate Subcommittee on
National Security and International Operations sttaff, called to say she was
somewhat perplexed by the numerous news articles about Soviet ICBM silos
and wanted to be sure there was no change in the situation since the briefing
Mr. Duckett gave her and Mr. Perle on 19 May. She was particularly
interested about the alleged testing of the new Soviet missile. After checking
with Mr. Duckett, I assured Miss Fosdick the situation had not changed since
that briefing and added that the preparation of the facilities for the new
missile were continuing but we did not expect to see anything new on testing
until later this summer. Miss Fosdick thanked me for looking into this.
