8. (Confidential - JGO) Met with Mr. Richard Barton, Employee
Benefits Subcommittee staff, House Post Office and Civil Service Committee,
who gave me a copy of the tentative hearing schedule on investigation of privacy
legislation. Hearings are tentatively scheduled for 11 May through :7 May with
Chairman Robert Hampton, of the Civil Service Commission, confirmed for
12 May. It is Mr. Barton's present opinion that Chairman Hampton will be the
principal Administration witness. He is attempting, however, to schedule also
a representative from the Department of Defense for the same date. 12 May;
Ju stice for 13 May; and State Department for 27 May. In keeping with this
Agency's letter to Chairman Hanley requesting a meeting with him, any questions
of Agency appearance will await the outcome of that meeting. Chairman Hanley
is out of the country until 3 May but it is Mr. Barton's hope that Chairman
Hanley will schedule an Agency meeting with' him as soon as possible after his
return.
In response to my question, Mr. Barton told me that if it should be
necessary for the Agency to appear and testify in order to gain full exemption
fmm the pending legislation, Committee rules would require approval of the
full Committee for hearings in executive session by the Subcommittee. Such
approval could not be obtained before the full Committee meeting the week of
12 May. I thanked Mr. Barton for his advice.
9. (Unclassified - JGO) Met with Mr. Tim Glidden, Legislative Assistant
to Representative Harold Runnels (D. , N. Mex. ), member of House Armed
Services Committee, who told me that the Representative was hospitalized at
Bethesda as a result of a bug he picked up on his trip to Vietnam. His staff is
in hopes that medical checks will not indicate anything serious. Representative
Runnels had requested additional information on the SS-9 during the Director's
briefing of House Armed Services Committee. 25X1
10. (Confidential - GLC) Personnel, called to alert us to the
fact that Representative Clarence Long (D., Md.) has been in touch with the
Bureau of Employees' Compensation by telephone' concerning the case of John
a former Agency employee who suffered a heart attack some
time after resigning from the Agency. No action is required by this office.
