OFFICE OF LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL
Wednesday - 12 July 1972
1. (Internal Use Only - JMM) Marshall Wright, Deputy Assistant
Secretary of State for Congressional Relations, called to ask the status of
the Cooper bill (S. 2224) requiring that intelligence material be made freely
available to the Congress. I said I didn't know when this bill might start
to move but when it did we'd need all the help we could get and I would get
in touch with him.
2. (Internal Use Only - JMM) David Martin, on the staff of the Senate
Internal Security Subcommittee, called to say that General Walt, with whom
Martin is working on a report regarding the illicit drug traffic, had wanted
to meet with the Director but Walt was leaving tomorrow morning for a trip
and wouldn't be able to arrange such a meeting until he returned. Martin
said the purpose of the meeting would be to raise with the Director the
possibility of getting Agency assistance in the preparation of the report which
Walt and Martin are preparing on the basis of their recent survey trip. He
said this report would form the basis for General Walt's testimony on the
subject before the Committee soon after Labor day. Martin said he was
preparing the draft of the testimony which was to be ready for General Walt
by 20 August. Martin said they would, of course, respect any restrictions
or classifications to which our material was subject and if necessary would
treat any information from us as background only. He said his only purpose
in consulting us was to make sure their report was factually accurate, and
he hoped it would serve to refute some of. the irresponsible allegations
regarding the drug traffic that were now current. Martin said we could check
the final draft for sensitivity. I said we would welcome a chance to cooperate
with him on this basis, but we had a problem at the moment regarding some
information on the same subject requested by someone in the House, and
would like to resolve this before working out arrangements with Walt and
Martin. I said I'd be back in touch with him.
