OFFICE OF LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL
Wednesday - 4 October 1972
1. (Secret - JGO) Talked to Mr. James Wilson, House Science
and Astronautics Committee staff, who told me that it would be most
helpful if I would deal directly with Chairman Olin Teague (D. , Texas)
in following up. on the briefing arrangements discussed with Chairman
Teague last week. I thanked Mr. Wilson and told him I would keep him
advised as appropriate.
I briefed Mr. Wilson on two anticipated Soviet space missions.
2. (Secret - JGO) Met with Mr. Ralph Preston, House Appropriations
Committee staff, who told me that he plans, if possible, to get away with his
family to Florida for a couple of weeks vacation when the Congress closes up
for the elections. He hopes that on his return on the 1st of the month that
he will have more time and that he will be able to schedule the long-planned
meeting with Messrs. Duckett, DDS&T, and Proctor, DDI, for briefing on a
sensitive Agency project. He also noted in part that he has not been able
to give the intelligence community time that it deserves and plans to discuss
with the Chairman designating another member of the staff to work with him
on community matters. Such an arrangement would not come into being
until after the beginning of the next Congress.
I briefed Mr. Preston on several items of current intelligence.
See Memorandum for the Record.
3. (Confidential - JGO) I attempted to see David Martin, Senate
Internal Security Subcommittee staff, to close out on his request concerning
any further comments the Agency might have on the report by General Lewis
Walt entitled "The World Drug Traffic. 5t Mr. Martin was away from his
office.
