8. After checking with the Acting DDI on the
procedure followed in a similar situation in 1969, I called Larry McHugh,
on the staff of the Joint Economic Committee, concerning the JEC's request
to have the Director appear at an open Committee session next month to
testify on the Soviet economy. I advised McHugh of Senator Proxmire's call
to the Director, the Director's consultation with Senator Stennis, and our
understanding of the latter's contact with Senator Proxmire on the subject
with the ultimate understanding that the Director mu uld not testify but that
the Agency would cooperate by assisting the State Department in the prepara-
tion of testimony on the subject. McHugh was not aware of any of these
contacts and thanked me for advising him. I indicated that if there were an95X1
further questions to let me know.

Harry Symmes, Deputy Assistant Secretary
of State for Congressional Relations, called to say that John Marl'-s, on Senator
Clifford Case's (R., N. J.) staff, had been back at State reminding them that
the Senator expects to hear from the Director regarding press allegations that
the Agency is running deep penetration operations into southern China. I told
Symmes we had not overlooked this, but the Director had just returned from
an extended visit and we would take care of this soon. 25X1
