1. (Confidential - JMM) General James Lawrence, Deputy Assistant
to the Secretary of Defense (Legislative Affairs), called to say that
Representative Paul Rogers had been trying to get in touch with Deputy
Secretary Packard regarding a matter on which General Taber had testified
before Rogers' Subcommittee on Public Health and Environment. The
matter among other things concerned a clandestine report dealing with
drug traffic in Southeast Asia. I explained to Lawrence what had come out
of the meeting and I had with Rogers last week. (Seep Journal
16 July 1971) I told Lawrence Packard was safe in taking the position he could
not release our clandestine report to Rogers under the third agency rule
and moreover I pointed out it was raw intelligence which could not be
released in any event.
2. (Confidential - JMM) Received a call from Representative Paul
Rogers who asked if we were going to provide him with the information he
asked for on 16 July (this had to do with transportation of large quantities
of arms, presumably of U. S. origin, to the KMT). I told him we had queried
the field but had not as yet received a reply. He asked if we could try to
get a response for him sometime next week. I told him we would do the
best we could.

Mr. Dockery stated that the Committee reported out the bill 21 July.
The only amendment made was to increase the authorization from $30 -
$35 million. He stated that the second Case bill, S. 1936, was considered
on a motion by the Committee but was rejected. He further stated that
S. 18 was considered by the Committee as a temporary measure to continue
the operation of the Radios and that 5.1936 and possibly other legislation
will be considered by the Committee at a latter date.
