Picked up from Bill Woodruff, Counsel,
Senate Appropriations Committee, several questions based on the President's
State of the World message which Senator Case has posed with the request
that the answers be included in the record of the Director's testimony before
the Defense Subcommittee. It was agreed that we would develop the answers
and Woodruff offered to pass them directly to Senator Case if that was our 25X1
wish.

land I lunched with Bill
Woodruff, Counsel, Senate Appropriations Committee, who said that as
soon as the Director felt he was settled into his responsibilities as "Tzar"
of the intelligence community they would like him to appear before the
Intelligence Subcommittee to discuss community budget matters. He said
they would not expect him to have exercised much of his new authority regarding
the FY 1973 budget for the other agencies, but they would be interested in
knowing his plans for coping with the FY 1974 budgets of these agencies.

8. Met with Bill Woodruff, Counsel, Senate
Appropriations Committee, and discussed plans for the 15 February briefing
of the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee. Woodruff recommended that
the Director cover a prepared text on the Soviet Union, Communist. China,
and Southeast Asia, leaving other areas for the question period. He said the
Subcommittee was skeptical about recent testimony of Admiral Zumwalt
regarding the rapid expansion of the Soviet navy, and Woodruff recommended
the Director devote "four or five minutes"to this subject.
Woodruff said he would like to get .from "within the next
week or ten days" a "money and people" paper for FY 1973 on CIA, DIA, NSA
and NRO, similar to the paper provided last year.
Woodruff said Chairman Ellender wanted a special briefing on the
intelligence community from Mr. Helms and Assistant Secretary of Defense
(ISA) Albert Hall in the near future--possibly appearing jointly, although
Ellender has not made up his mind on this aspect. Woodruff said that,
although he planned to hear from both the Director and Hall, Ellender would
probably try to hold the Director responsible for the entire community.
Woodruff expressed concern over the reference to tactical intelligence
in the Presidential directive, and I assured him that this was something which
we felt strongly had no place in the community picture. Woodruff agreed,
noting that excluding the costs of tactical intelligence would help him to cut
the figure on community intelligence costs.

1. I I Bill Woodruff, Counsel, Senate Appropriations
Committee, called to say Monday, 14 February, was out for the Defense
Subcommittee and wondered whether the Director would be available on
15 or 16 February. I said he was committed to the Joint Committee on
Atomic Energy on the 16th, so this was out, and we tried to avoid briefings
two days running wherever possible. I asked Woodruff whether the Appro-
priations briefing could be limited to the morning only, but he said he
couldn't promise this. I said I would be back in touch after consulting the
Director.
After consulting with the Director, confirmed
w1Ln .3111 vV UOUTUll, IJVUllavl, 25X1
appearance for a world roundup briefing at 10 a. m. on Tuesday, 15 February.

Met with Mr. Ralph Preston, House
Appropriations Committee staff, who told me he thought that the letter
from Chairman Mahon to Chairman Dulski., House Post Office and Civil
Service Committee, had gone forward. I thanked Mr. Preston and told
him I would check the Post Office and Civil Service Committee to see if
it had been received. He told me that he had received the information he
had requested on the Radios from Mr. James Frey, of OMB, and stated
that this is all that he needs from us at the present time. Mr. Preston
told me he would like to schedule for himself and Mr. Woodruff, Senate
Appropriations Committee staff, to visit Headquarters as soon as the budget
book is ready. Once that session is behind us we can then start looking
to a date for the Agency budget presentation before the Special Subcommittee.
Mr. Preston told me also that he has received a question from one of the
sensitive DOD components concerning possible date for that organization's
appearance before the Special Subcommittee and asked that I relay this
item tol I reviewed with Mr. Preston the administrative
arrangements for tomorrow's briefing. In part Mr. Preston told me that
an invitation has not been extended to the Military Construction Subcommittee
for attendance at tomorrow's briefing and that the Chairman has not yet
appointed a replacement for Representative Andrews.
