8. (Unclassified - JMM) In the absence of Russ Blandford, Chief
25X1
Counsel, House Armed Services Committee, and Bill Woodruff, Counsel,
Senate Appropriations Committee, I called their offices and left word with
their secretaries that General Walters' nomination would be announced today.
9. (Confidential - JMM) Talked to Joe Wolf, State Department, about
the Lowenstein/Moose report to the Symington Subcommittee of Senate
Foreign Relations Committee on Southeast Asia. Wolf said he had been
over the report, as had of FE, and Wolf proposed allowing
their complaints about uncooperative responses about intelligence matters to
go unchallenged. I passed this on to Chief, FE who did not share this view
and said he would be back in touch with Wolf. 25X1
10. (Confidential - JMM) Called Pat Holt, Senate Foreign Relations
Committee staff, to say our efforts to run down had been
unsuccessful. Holt said he was concerned about the matter, adding that he
had checked with State Department and found a number of discrepancies
between he Denartypent's Dassoort and visa records and the records of the
institute
I suggested Holt might want to get in touch with the FBI which he said he might
do.
11. (Unclassified - JMM) Tom Lattimer called from the White House to
say that Henry Cashen, a White House "politico", had called Kissinger's office
about an applicant for a job in the Agency who had apparently had strong
political backing, possibly from Representative Les Arends. I told Lattimer
to get me the candidate's name and I would make sure that Personnel followed
up with an interview.
12. (Internal Use Only - JGO) Received a call from
DIA, who told me that he had an inquiry from Representative AshbrOok's
office concerning employment with Air Americ_a. I gave
Air America's "K" Street address, suggested to him that the Representative's
office contact Air America directly, and refreshed his recollection that Air
America's two largest sources of contract business are the Defense Department
and AID. He thanked me and said he would respond along the lines suggested.
He sees no need of any mention of the Agency but would want guidance before
responding.
