12. - GLC) Mro OTR, asked if Mr. Maury
or I would be willing to meet with a group of approximately 12 career trainees
at 2:30 p.m. on 5 August for about one hour and fifteen minutes to talk with
them about the Agency's relationship with the Congress. I told that,
barring some crisis, we would be happy to do this.

13. (Confidential - GLC) I talked with Mr. Eugene Krizek, and
subsequently with Mr. Harrison Symmes, of the State Department, about
information on congressional travel. (I was specifically interested in
anything State had on the upcoming travel of Senator Dole.) Krizek and
Symmes advised me of their strict policy against providing documentation
on congressional travel outside the State Department because of the sensitivities
of certain Members, but Symmes offered to set up a reading file in the office
of the Executive Secretary, Walter Weiss, which someone from our office was
welcomed to come over and read on a periodic basis. I told Symmes this would
be very helpful.
Mr. Symmes advised me that John Marks, in the office of Senator
Clifford Case (R., N. J.,), has advised State Department of his intention to
travel to .Southeast Asia during the summer congressional recess and has
indicated an interest in talking with Agency representatives while there.
Symmes was interested in our reaction to this. I told him my own feeling
was that we would provide such information as the Ambassador wished us
to by way of background briefing as a member of the country team, but that
we would not provide special Agency briefings nor would we brief Marks on
Agency operations in the area. I made clear, however, that this was not an
Agency reaction and that the matter would have to be taken up with the Director
before I could respond officially. 25X1A
14. (Secret - GLC) In response to his request, I advised
OPPB, that we had no problem with DOD's proposed response to question
No. 15 which had been posed to the State Department in a list of questions by
Senator Symington. These had to do with DOD expenditures in Southeast Asia.
