SUBJECT: Meeting with Jim Cline, Counsel, House Judiciary Committee,
Concerning H. R. 12652
1. Messrs. Maury, et with Jim Cline and
discussed the materials needed by Mr. i.ne to res and to questions on
worldwide dope raised by Chairman Rodino. See Journal of
7 August 1972.
2. Mr. Maury then brought Cline up-to-date on the amendment
proposed by Senator Ervin concerning the protection of constitutional
rights of Government employees that was added on to H. R. 12652 in the
Senate. Cline suggested that in the meeting with Mr. Herb Hoffman, of
the Committee staff, which had already been scheduled that it would be
well to determine the probable timing of actions that will be taken by the
Committee and to ascertain the names of the probable conferees. He
told us that Mr. Hoffman had been with the Committee about a year and
was a former legislation attorney with the Department of Justice. Since
Mr. Cline had no knowledge of the bill himself he did not feel that he was
in a position to advise us further with one exception. If after our review
of the situation we feel that it is necessary, we should deal directly with
Chairman Celler himself and not with intermediate members of the staff.
3. Cline told us that Senator Ervin is a highly respected man not
only in the Senate but within the House Committee on Judiciary and that
this in itself could condition the handling of the bill within the Committee.
