MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: Conversation with the Director re DDCI
Today I told the Director that Ed Braswell, Chief Counsel,
Senate Armed Services Committee, had informed me that Chairman
Stennis had registered his views regarding a new DDCI with Henry
Kissinger. I said I had had a friendly discussion the preceding evening
with General Al Haig, White House staff, in which we had talked about
the Administration's problems with Congress on matters concerning the
intelligence community, and on the basis of this talk I felt I could, if
the Director wished, go back to Haig on the question of the DDCI appoint-
ment. However, I said I was not recommending this since Stennis had
registered his views to Kissinger and I assumed that anything I said
to Haig would also end up going to Kissinger. The Director agreed that
we might as well let the matter drop at this stage.
