9. I I Called Chris Sylvester, in the office of
Senator Milton Young, to explain that ,an applicant for
Agency employment in whom the Senator was interested, had told us he was
not ready to come on duty on 22 February, as planned, since he was enrolled
at Officer Candidate School at Quantico, which would delay his EOD with the

ass urances that we could keep the vacancy open until then.

Monday - 28 February 1972
25X1
1. Talked with Representative Albert Quie
(R., Minn.) about our interest in having the conferees on g_ 25 1 r). who
are meeting this afternoon, insert in the conference report on this bill
a statement which would indicate that it is not the intention of the Congress
in enacting this legislation to subordinate the discretionary authority or
judgment which department heads may have by statute in cases involving
the national security. Mr. Quie said that Representative John Erlenborn
(R., Ill.) was the principal member handling this legislation and that
Tom Hart (with whom we have been dealing) is the principal staff member.
Mr. Quie said he would do everything he could to support us on this however.
25X1 2. Hand-carried to Bill Woodruff, Counsel, Senate
Appropriations Committee, figures which he had requested on funds and
personnel in the intelligence community in Fiscal Year 1973.
Mr. Woodruff returned to me the answer which we had prepared
to Senator Case's two questions on Soviet ICBMs with instructions that
we handle this response with the Senator personally. See Memo for Record.
I alerted Mr. Woodruff to the action which we were taking this
morning in attempting to have appropriate language inserted in the conference
report on the equal employment opportunity legislation (S._2515). Woodruff
could see no problem with this.
25X1 3. Messrs. Tweedy, John Clarke,
25X1A
and I lunched at Mr. Clarke's house with Ralph Preston, Staff Assistant,
House Appropriations Committee, and discussed plans for the Director's
upcoming appearances before the Mahon Committee with regard to
community matters. Mr. Clarke is preparing a Memo for the Record.
I gave Preston a copy of a letter to Mr. Helms from Representative
Joe Evins (D. , Tenn.), containing several complaints about the Agency,
and asked Preston's advice for responding. Preston said he would show
it to Chairman Mahon and let us know.

5, I I Met with Mr. Frank Slatinshek, Assistant Chief
Counsel, House Armed Services Committee, and gave him a blind memorandum
dated 23 February on "The Cost of Soviet Occupation Forces. 11 This is in
response to a question raised in yesterday's meeting with Mr. Slatinshek and
members of the House Armed Services Committee staff.
I also briefed Mr. Slatinshek on the new type Soviet silos and
deactivation of older silos; Chic-13; and Mao-class submarines.
6. I I Called Jay Sourwine, Chief Counsel,
Senate Internal Security Subcommittee, to tell him that we had not picked
up any statement by Fidel Castro over the weekend referring to "Ceasar
Chavez - my comrade," but the possibility exists that such a statement
was made and we will be on the lookout for it for him. Mr. Sourwine
said he would appreciate this.
7. Called Bob Vagley, Director of
the Labor Subcommittee, House Education and Labor Committee, and he
told me he expected the conference committee to meet on a. 2515, Equal
mloyment Opportunities Enforcement Act, on Monday or Tuesday of
next week and that the managers on the part of the House most likelywould
consist of the membership of the Labor Subcommittee. It was agreed that
we would meet as soon as possible (he will be out until Friday) concerning
the amendments we would like the conferees to use. He said that if he was
absent, Tom Hart, of the Subcommittee staff, would be helpful in setting
up a meeting with Representative John Erlenborn (R. , Ill. ), Ranl~ing
Minority Member, and other members whose support he thinks may be
important.
8. I I Received a call from Mr. McEwen,
in the office of Senator Sam Ervin (D., N. C. ), for a China Atlas. I told him
that we would be happy to provide an atlas to the Senator and would do so, but
that we did not have sufficient supply to satisfy all constituent requests.
Mr. McEwen seemed to appreciate this and in connection with subsequent
requests, said they would have no problem in merely stating that they had 25X1A
had only one copy of the atlas which they had already given away.
Subsequently, I spoke to Messrs. Angus Thuermer, I
and John Kerry King, suggesting that we might make the atlas available to
the depository libraries through the Library of Congress, thereby providing
greater access to the atlas for the public at large, which would helpful in
responding to the run-of-the-mill requests for a copy of the map. Mr. King
said he would be investigating this along with a number of other possibilities
and would let us know the outcome.
