OFFICE OF LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL
Monday - 7 February 1972
1. Called J. Sourwine, Chief Counsel, Senate
Internal Security Subcommittee, regarding the Agency's position on possible'
publication of the testimony which Sourwine referred to us
I told him we had discussed the matter with the Director who
was very much concerned about possible publication of this testimony and
had instructed Mr. Maury to meet with Chairman Eastland on it. I added
that our position was still the same as had been stated by Mr. Dulles in
his letter to Chairman Jenner on 3 December 1954. Sourwine said he
would place a statement in his memorandum to the Subcommittee members
on the subject to the effect that the Agency strongly opposed the release of
any of this testimony and the Director has instructed his Legislative Counsel
to take the matter up with the Chairman. I told Sourwine that this was most
appreciated.
2. Informed George Murphy, Joint Committee on
Atomic Energy staff, that we had additional information on the construction
of the Soviet vessel at Nikolayev and would be in touch with Captain Bauser
on this later in the week.
Murphy mentioned that in order to accommodate Representative
Melvin Price (R., Ill.) who had an Armed Services Committee meeting
scheduled for the morning of the 16th, they had scheduled the Director's
briefing for 2 p.m. that day. Murphy wanted to check this with us. After
it was checked with the Director, I informed Murphy that 2 p. m. was
agreeable.
3. Frank Slatinshek, Assistant Chief Counsel,
House Armed ervices ommittee, called to ask about arrangements for
Defense representatives to join with George Carver and me in trying to
straighten out with Chairman Nedzi a problem we had discussed with the
Chairman a couple of weeks ago. I told Slatinshek we were ready to
cooperate at any time, but' that Defense was supposed to make a date
with the Chairman.
