Approved For Release 2002/08/01 : CIA-RD P_73296R000300190029-8 Journal - Office of Legislative Counsle Page 2 Friday - 29 October 1971 4. (Confidential - GLC) Received a call from Rady Johnson, Assistant to the Secretary of Defense (Legislative Affairs), who said they had been discussing with Senator Stennis possible action on the Senate floor with respect to the Foreign Assistance Act which is to be voted on in the Senate today. Johnson said that Deputy Secretary of Defense Packard talked briefly with Senator Stennis yesterday. DOD expects Senator Stennis to offer an amendment to delete all of Section 512 but they feel the Senator would have difficulty in obtaining the deletion of all of Section 513 on the Senate floor. DOD has talked to Roy Bullock, Staff Administrator, House Foreign Affairs Committee, who said he thought that Committee would be willing to knock out Section 5.3.3 when the bill goes to conference. Johnson said some thought is being given to asking Senator Stennis to move to delete Laos, South Vietnam, and Cambodia from Section 513 leaving Thailand, Burma, and North Vietnam subject to the restrictions of that section. 25X1 A I told Johnson I thought we would have problems with this and, after checking with Mr.OC /FE, confirmed that we would not want to see any action taken in the Senate on a partial deletion which would foreclose 25X1A deletion of the entire section by the House Committee in conference. I passed on Mr. II comment that leaving Thailand, Burma, and North Vietnam in the amendment would preclude even such action as possible raids on opium refineries in some of these areas. I said we would be 25X1A opposed to any split deletion as a final measure. Johnson said he understood and particularly liked comment about drug raids. 5. (Confidential - GLC) Received a call from Stuart French, ISA, DOD, concerning a letter that Lawrence S. Eagleburger, ISA, has received from Senator Strom Thurmond urging the declassification of the Penkovskiy Papers. French said he would like to send the correspondence over to us for our views and suggestions as to a further answer to Senator Thurmond. 6. (Confidential - GLC) The DDI called to ask if we would prepare a list of Members of Congress who have had access to compartmented information. He said a question has been raised about the possibility of briefing Members and committees who have had access to this information in connection with SALT developments. I told Mr. Proctor we would have a ;list available for him on Monday. Approved For Release 2002/08/01 : CIA-RDP73B00296R000300190029-8
