11. (Unclassified - GLC) Senator Scott's amendment to the Foreign
Relations Authorization Act of 1972 (S. 3526) striking section 504(a) of the bill
which would have imposed a 10 percent cut on U. S. personnel abroad (except
for State Department personnel, Peace Corps, and certain military categories)
passed the Senate by a vote of 38-32 late this afternoon.
12. (Internal Use Only - RJK) Delivered to the offices of Senators
Edward Kennedy (D., Mass.), George S. McGovern (D., S. Dak.), Hugh
Scott (R., Pa.), Mike Mansfield (D., Mont.), Mike Gravel (D. Alaska) and
the Senate Foreign Relations Committee 25X1
were mentioned.
13. (Unclassified - PLC) Sent to Bobby McCarthy, in the office of
Representative Tom Railsback (R., Ill. ), some application forms and
employment brochures for constituents interested in employment with the
Agency.
14. Internal Use Only - JGO) Received a call from Representative
Barber Conable (R. , N. Y. ),who is Chairman of the Combined SOS and Chowder
and Marching Society, central Republican breakfast group, who extended an
invitation to the Director to join the group for breakfast some morning next
week if possible. Representative Conable recalled the very enjoyable previous
breakfast with the Director and expressed the hope that they could return the
favor of having him to breakfast as he had had them in the past. I told
Representative Conable that I did not believe it would be possible for the next
ten days or two weeks that the Director' s schedule would not allow that luxury.
After checking with the Director, I talked to Mrs. Dorothy Maneri, Repre-
sentative Conable's Executive Secretary, and told her the Director is unable
to accept. She thanked me for the call and expressed the hope that he will be
able to make it another time.

6. (Unclassified - LLM) Steve Daniels, in the office of Represen-
tative Robert McClory (R. , Ill. ), called and asked for a general evaluation

asked the Congressman for some references. Based on the advice of

]advised us of social contacts
which he had with Representative Philip Ruppe (R., Mich.) whom he has known
since early school days. We plan to make a followup contact with Ruppe who
has expressed an interest in visiting the Agency. (Ruppe attended a freshman
breakfast at Headquarters 14 March 1967 but was not at that time in a position
to absorb much of what was said but he is interested and would like to meet
with us again. )
8. (Confidential - GLC) Talked with both Charles Ablard, General
Counsel, USIA, and Marshall Wright, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State
for Congressional Relations, and urged that another meeting be called (similar
to the one which Wright originally called to deal with the personnel cut and
dissimination of information provision of S. 3526) to reassess the situation and
determine how successful representatives of the various agencies involved have
been in contacting members of their acquaintance to gain support for the
Administration's position on these provisions. Ablard commented if we were
to accomplish anything he thought we would have to make an all-out move on
the 10 percent cut provision on the floor of the Senate since Representative
Wayne Hays (D., Ohio) (who will be a vital participant in any conference on
this bill) fully supports the personnel cut as reported by the Foreign Relations__
Committee. Wright said he would be happy to call another meeting as I
suggested but said he would contact Torn Korologos, of the White House, to
see if he would be willing to chair the session.
