1, I (Bill Woodruff, Counsel, Senate Appropriations
Committee, called this morning to say that former Senator William Saltonstall
was in town a few days ago and asked him to assist him in some work he is
doing in preparing his memoirs. In this connection Woodruff would like us
to prepare a short paper for him on the way CIA funds are appropriated. In
this paper he would like references to the debate on the Mansfield resolution
in 1956 and the more recent debate on Senator McCarthy's resolution to
authorize the Foreign Relations Committee to look into certain CIA activities.
Woodruff feels the Senate's action on these two items constitute a "vote of
confidence" for the system as it was originally established by Senator Saltonstall
and Senator Hayden. Woodruff would like the paper by early next week. 25X1

. I I Had lunch with Bill Woodruff, Counsel, Senate
Woodruff asked if there was anything I could tell him about speculations
in the press that Mr. Helms was leaving the Agency. I told him there was
nothing I could give him on this but,as he well knew, if something was in the
offing any announcement on it would have to come from the White House. It
was interesting that during lunch General "Hap" Arnold's son dropped by
our table and asked Woodruff if there was any truth to the rumor that he
might be accepting a position in the Pentagon. Woodruff said there were
rumors to this effect, but said he thought he had the "quietest telephone in town. "
I brought Woodruff up-to-date on a number of current intelligence items
that have developed since 14 November.
