Approved'For Release 2005/05/20 : CIA-RDP74B00415R000200080001-7 CO ' E TIAL JOURNAL OFFICE OF LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL Tuesday - 26 September 1972 1. Talked to Jim Calloway, Senate Government Qperatious LD-mmi ttee staff, about the conference yesterday on the Ervin bill. Calloway had no details on what had transpired in the conference, but said that in giving his proxy to Senator Ervin, Senator McClellan had specified that in no circumstances would he agree to the Ervin amendment to the House bill extending the life of the Civil Rights Commission unless CIA was granted a 2 complete exemption. 3. I I Received a call from Mr. Robert Blum, Senate Foreign Relations Committee staff, concerning the Chairman's request and the Director's response relating to release of OSS documents concerning activities in Indochina. What the Committee would like to do (and it has been discussed rather extensively) is to publish certain of the documents that he has reviewed for the use of all scholars rather than to write a summary paper. I told him that we certainly would prefer that he write a summary paper since the release of the particular documents could well be the opening wedge for release of all OSS files. He agreed that the Committee understands that we are not in a position to set up a historical section for the release of documents but would hope that by publishing these particular documents it would eliminate questions on the subject since the material would be available to interested persons. It was agreed that as a first step he will come by and designate the documents that he feels would be most helpful for Committee reproduction. An appointment was made for 10:00 tomorrow morning, Wednesda , 27 September, for him to visit Headquarters. Messrs. Colby and have been advised. 5X1 Approved For Release 2005/05/20 : CIA-RDP74B00415R000200080001-7
