6. (Unclassified - GLC) Mrs. Mary Lynch, in the office of Senator
Thomas Eagleton (D., Mo.), called on behalf of a constituent for any booklets
we had on "positive reasons for getting information on U.S. citizens." I told
Mrs. Lynch that we had no such booklets and pointed out that the Agency not
only had no function in this connection, but was precluded by law from engaging
in any internal security activities and said I would send her a copy of the
Agency pamphlet which covers this subject.
Mrs. Lynch also requested a China Map Folio and several unclassified
maps for use of the Senator's staff and I agreed to get these for her.
7. (Confidential - GLC) Talked with Mr. Wallace Johnson, Department
of Justice, about the status of possible briefing of the Muskie and Ribicoff
Subcommittees of Senate Government Operations Committee on the involvement
of foreign officials in the world drug traffic. Johnson said that Bud Krogh,
of the White House, was calling the shots on this. He hopes to delay responses
to the joint letters from Muskie and Ribicoff to the Attorney General and
Secretaries Laird and Rogers and the Director until just before the summer
recess. Krogh is trying to avoid any briefing. On this basis, Johnson assumed
Krogh would have problems with our proposed reply deferring to Justice. He
expects Krogh would want us to adopt a delaying tactic also. I told Johnson
we would probably be in touch with Krogh directly about this.
8. (Internal Use Only - JGO) I received a call from Mrs. Lois G.
Myers, Employee Benefits Subcommittee staff, House Post Office and
Civil Service Committee, who told me that Chairman Hanley has indicated
that if time permits he might take up the question of protection oi rights
of Federal employees at the conclusion of the scheduled business in
tomorrow's open meeting of the Employee Benefits Subcommittee. I
thanked Mrs. Myers for the advice.
