7. (Confidential -JMM) Called Courtney Pace, Administrative
Assistant to Senator James O. Eastland (D. , Miss. ), to say I understood
that Senator Eastland had given his proxy regarding the conference on the
Ervin bill to Senator Ervin. Pace said he didn't know--that Eastland was
in Mississippi, but that he would remind Eastland of our concern about the
bill and asked me to remind him to do so Monday morning.
8. (Confidential -JMM) Discussed our problem with the Ervin bill
at considerable length with Mrs. Parker, Senator Hiram L. Fong's (R. ,
Hawaii) Legislative Assistant. She said she had gone over-with the Senator
the material I left with her and said that speaking personally she was
sympathetic with our request for a full exemption but felt the bill gave us
enough limited exemptions to be tolerable.
g. (Confidential -JMM) Called Bill Hildenbrand, Administrative
Assistant to Minority Leader Hugh Scott, regarding the Ervin bill problem.
He said Senator Scott had attended the conference on the 20th and was
optimistic that the Ervin bill rider would be dropped at the last possible
moment in the face of steadfast resistence to it among some of the House
conferees. He said that all of the "liberals" are determined to pass the
bill extending the life of the Civil Rights Commission, and in order to
insure its passage would be willing to sacrifice the Ervin bill.
10. (Confidential - JGO) Met with Mr. John Brady, House Foreign
Affairs Committee staff, and gave him the text of the cablegram concerning
regulation of opium cultivation in Laos which had been read to him by
telephone in Bangkok during his recent trip to the Far East. I also gave him
a page-size map of the triborder area of Burma, Thailand and Laos with the
traditional poppy growing areas of the golden triangle set forth on the map.
11. (Confidential - GLC) met with Frank
Slatinshek, Chief Counsel, House Armed Services Committee, and Herbert
Hoffman, House Judiciary Committee staff, to discuss action which might
be taken in connection with the Ervin bill. See Memorandum for the Record.
