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.
