4. George Murphy, Joint Committee on Atomic
Energy staff, called to report on his problem with Senator Symington regarding
control of sensitive material provided by the Agency.
5. I I Assistant Secretary of State (Congressional
Relations) Abshire's office explained that he had been completely preoccupied
with a flap created by Representative McCloskey's allegation regarding the
U. S. role in Laos and thus had been unable to make a date for tomorrow
with Chairman Mahon or Chairman Ellender.
6. Talked with Ralph Preston, House Appropriations
Committee staff, about our problems with legislation to put the Radios under
a private corporation. He saw no insurmountable objections to getting such
legislation passed before the end of the fiscal year provided all concerned
agree on this objective. He noted that we might have a little more time
since the fense appropriation bill probably won't pass the House until late
July, and until then the Radios could be financed under a continuing resolution
for the first part of July.
7. Dale Sutherland, in the office of Senator
Abraham Ribicoff (D., Conn.), called to request a map called Administra-
tive Atlas of Communist China.
8. On Saturday morning (17 April) Dorothy Fosdick,
of Senator Jackson's Subcommittee on National Security and International
Operations, called to say the Senator was returning from the West Coast that
afternoon and would like a briefing on recent developments regarding Soviet
weapons sometime Sunday in preparation for Armed Services Committee hearings
beginning Monday when John Foster, Dr. York, Dr. Penovsky and others were
scheduled to testify. Accordingly, Mr. Duckett and I met with Senator Jackson
and Miss Fosdick Sunday afternoon and Mr. Duckett brought the Senator up-to-
date on new Soviet ICBM silos, renewed work on the Moscow ABM system, etc.
Senator Jackson said he thought we should make certain that Senators
Stennis and Margaret Chase Smith, of the Armed,Servicps Committee, also
have this information.
