3. (Confidential - GLC) J. Sourwine, Chief Counsel, Senate Internal
Security Subcommittee called to say he had been very impressed with the
report on subversion in Africa which we left with David Martin, Subcommittee
staff, and said he would like to see the Subcommittee publish it. He feels
it would be necessary, however, to have a witness who is knowledgeable
on the situation attest to the credibility of this report so that the Subcommittee
could justify publishing it. Sourwine would like to have somebody from the
Agency do this, but when I told him I thought this was out of the question he
2,5X1 asked if we would have any suggestion as to some other credible individual
who could serve this purpose. I told him 7 wrinlrl e-l-e-V n hr1 ,, 11 in; ',-
5. (Unclassified - LLM) Called Mr. William Phillips, Staff Director
of the Foreign Operations and Government Information Subcommittee, House
Government Operations Committee, and told him that the initial refusal for
access to information under the so-called Freedom of Information Law had
been sustained on administrative appeal. This closes out Chairman Moorhead's
new request for this information which was based on the Agency's response of
30 September 1971 to the questionnaire which he had sent to all Government
agencies.
In response to my question, Phillips said they are having some
problems in dealing with all the information they had received but that they
intend to commence their hearings on 6 March which would probably result
in recommending further legislation.
