Wednesday - 6 October 1971
25X1 1. George Murphy, Joint Committee on Atomic
Energy staff, called referring to the 25 September New York Times story
reporting that the British had made public a case study describing how a
representative of Tekhnophimport was expelled from the U.K. after seeking
computer-connected electronic equipment embargoed by the U.K. government.
Murphy said he would like additional information, or at least a copy of the
British release. I reminded him this was an internal case being handled by
MI-5 and suggested he get in touch with the FBI. However, I said we would
try to get what we could. I I is checking to get
25X1 the handout and any other info suitable for passing.

2. Called Dave Abshire, Assistant Secretary
for Congressional Relations, Department of State, to offer some revisions
to the draft letter from Abshire to Fulbright commenting on the Cooper bill
(requiring the Agency to provide intelligence material to the Congress). Abshire
didn't have this draft and I later called Bill McAfee, INR, and passed on our
proposals to him which he accepted.
I told Abshire we were curious as to why he, and not the Secretary,
was signing the letter to Fulbright on what appeared to be a major issue of
this sort. Abshire said the chief reason was that letters from an Assistant
Secretary attracted less publicity than letters from the Secretary adding
that also, if necessary, the Secretary could repudiate them with minimum
embarrassment.
3. In response to his request, I provided
Bill McAfee, INR, with rough figures on the number of Agency appearances
before congressional committees which he said they might need in response
to questions from the Foreign Relations Committee arising out of the above
mentioned letter to the Chairman opposing the Cooper bill.
DOS review(s) completed.

Nine delegates who voted
with the United States today
went to the rostrum immediate-
ly after the roll-call to explain
that their votes did not imply
endorsements of the substance
of the American position. They
spoke for Argentina, Belgium,
the Congo, Ecuador, Israel,
Italy, Qatar, Tunisia and Turkey,
One delegate, Nero Vinci of
Italy, said that his Government
regarded Peking as the sole
legitimate Government of China
and would vote against any
proposal that could delay its
admission to the United Na-
tions.
At least three of the abstain-
ing countries?Britain, Canada
and France?are certain to vote
not only against the American
proposal for dual representa-
tion but also against the Ameri-
can-sponsored resolution that
would make expulsion of the
Nationalists an "important
question" and therefore subject
to a two-thirds majority vote
for approval.
Compared With 1970 Vote
Some delegates pointed out
that the majority today fell one
short of the majority that sup-
ported the American "important
question" resolution last year.
United States, Australian and
Japanese diplomats neverthe-
less called today's vote a "for-
mal victory." George Bush,
the American delegate, de-
clared that he was "extremely
gratified." He said that "we
are not taking anything for
granted" and that "we have
regained forward motion
