Approved For Release 2006/11/13: CIA-RDP73B00296R000500040017-5 Journal - Office of Legislative. Counsel Page 2 Monday - 19 April 1971 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. 4wt Approved For Release 2006/11/13: CIA-RDP73B00296R000500040017-5 R 6/12/2003
