Wednesday - 30 August 1972
1. (Confidential - JGO) In response to her call I gave Helen Mattas,
House Foreign Affairs Committee staff, the information needed for the
Committee monthly summary of hearings concerning time of starting and
finishing, persons present, etc, , relating to the Director's briefing of
27 July 1972. This transcript is in single copy and is held by the Agency
for safekeeping.
2. (Confidential - JGO) Mr. Robert Blum, Senate Foreign Relations
Committee staff, visited Headquarters and met with Messrs. Harry Little
and O'Neill. OSS files of activities immediately following
World War II were made available for his survey. Mr. Blum found the files
more voluminous than anticipated but in his terms meaningful as original
source documentation. Arrangements were made to allow more detailed
review as time from other Committee assignments will allow. He anticipated
it may well be a week or more before he can begin any comprehensive review

5. (Internal Use Only - JGO) Met with Miss Louise O'Brien, House
Foreign Affairs Committee staff, who told me that the onward itinerary for
Jack Brady and Robert Boyer, of the Committee staff, is somewhat uncertain.
They plan to leave Indochina about Friday, 1 September, for Hong Kong and
then return to the States. These travel plans, however, are subject to
confirmation later in the week.
6. (Internal Use Only - JGO) I received a call this afternoon from
Mr. Roland Paul, former Counsel of Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee
on U. S. Security Agreements and Commitments Abroad, concerning TV
coverage last evening in the New York City area, Channel 5, WNEW, of the
charges against the Agency set forth in the McCoy book "The Politics of Heroin
in Southeast Asia," and treatment given the same charges over the last week
or two in the New York Times. See Memorandum for the Record. Mr. John
Unumb has been advised.
7. (Confidential - GLC) During a conversation today Ed Braswell,
Chief Counsel, Senate Armed Services Committee, mentioned that Chairman
Stennis is in town this week. Braswell said he talked with the Chairman
today and nothing of CIA interest came up. He did say, however, that as he
had mentioned to Mr. Maury before the recess, the Chairman might like to
have a briefing from the Agency similar to the one which Mr. Duckett gave
to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Braswell said he would get in
touch with us if this was the case.
8. (Unclassified - GLC) Talked with Jim Woolsey, Senate Armed
Services Committee staff, who asked if we could provide him with a number of
maps and related material on Vietnam. I am checking this with OCI Graphics.
9. (Internal Use Only - RJK) Delivered to the offices of Senators
Edward Kennedy (D., Mass.), George McGovern (D., S. Dak.), Hubert
Humphrey (D., Minn.), Mike Mansfield (D., Mont.), and John Sherman
Cooper (R., Ky.) FBIS items in which their names were mentioned.

2. (Confidential - JGO) Messrs. INARCOG,
met with Messrs. John Brady and Robert Boyer, House Foreign Ail_a_:L_r_g___
Committee staff. Messrs. Brady and Boyer will be leaving Tuesday on a
survey trip for Chairman Morgan through the Far East with stops in Tokyo,
Saigon, Vientiane, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Manila. The meeting was
an informal question and answer session and was concerned primarily with
the current Government structure for handling narcotic problems and dope
traffic in Southeast Asia. In response to their earlier request, they were
given copies of Agency correspondence with Harper's magazine and Harper
and Row publishers concerning the book "The Politics of Heroin in Southeast
Asia" by Alfred W. McCoy and with the Cabinet Committee on International
Narcotics Control. These documents are for use in briefing the Chairman 25X1A
and will not be utilized in any fashion otherwise without prior consultation
with the Agency. There
are no follow-up items to the meeting.
3. (Internal Use Only - JGO) Talked to Mr. David Martin, Senate
Internal Security Subcommittee staff, and after consultation with Mr. Colby,
changed the time of the meeting between Mr. Colby and General Walt to 7 p. in.
Sunday evening.
