11? ~- GLC) Hand-carried to the Joint Committee on Atomic
Energy the corrected transcript and followup papers for the Director's
briefing on 24 February.
In the absence of Captain Bauser and George Murphy, I briefed Colonel
Sy Shwiller, of the JCAE staff, on the latest information on identification of
a new ChiCom nuclear facility. Shwiller said he would inform Bauser and
Murphy.
12. 0- GLC) Checked further with John Lehman, of the White
House staff, on the request from GAO for our assistance in the preparation
of Soviet and U. S. military research and development programs. I advised
Lehman of the Director's memorandum of 21 April to Mr. Kissinger on the
subject and said we were still anxious for White House guidance on this. I
mentioned to Lehman my suggestion that perhaps we could work this problem
out by direct dealing with the Armed Services Committee eliminating GAO
as the middleman. Lehman and Stuart French, ofDOD, with whom I also
discussed this, felt this might be a
good solution. This matter will probably
be on the agenda of the LIG meeting next Thursday. Meanwhile, w will
consider discussing this with the Senate Armed Services Committee staff.
lces
"Committee staff, whom I briefed on recent developments regarding 1Soviet
ICBMs, Soviet ABM system, ChiCom nuclear facilities, high-performance
Soviet aircraft in Egypt, new SAM installations in Egypt, and developments
in the Soviet space program.
In response to 'my question, Woolsey said he had not been briefed on
these subjects byDefense and neither he nor members of the staff of the full
Committee are now receiving regular DIA briefings on current developments.
He indicated they did not consider such briefings very valuable and preferred
to rely on CIA for keeping informed on current intelligence items. He
commented that DIA did periodically brief Messrs. James Kendall and Ben
Gilleas, of the Senate Preparedness Subcommittee staff, but he preferred
not to rely on this channel for the Committee requirements.
Woolsey said Jack Ticer was Acting Chief of the Committee staff
in Mr. Braswell's absence, but Braswell was expected back in the office,
at least part-time next week.
