Approved For Release 2007/02/07 CIA-RDP74B00415R000100020011-3 JOURNAL OFFICE OF LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL Wednesday - 6 December 1972 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 Approved For Relea(2',~74B00415R000100020011-3 Approved For Release 2007/02/07 :. 4A-RDl 4P00415R000100020011- Journal - Office of Legislative Counsel Monday - 4 December 1972 Page 3 . 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. Approved For Release 2007/0
