JOURNAL
OFFICE OF LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL
Tuesday - 22 February 1972
1. Talked to Mr. Austin Smith, House
Appropriations Committee staff, who told me that the House Appropriations
Committee is not introducing a continuing resolution today nor is one planned
at the present time to continue authorization for A or the Radios.
2. Accompanied Messrs. Bruce Clarke,
OSR, to a meeting with Messrs, ran
Slatinshek, John R. an or , and John Ford, House Armed Services
Committee staff, concerning the costing of Soviet R&D and defense programs,
MBFR and Backfire.
I also gave Mr. Slatinshek a copy of the AP wire story of 15 February
concerning Chairman Nedzits statement to the press that one of the major
targets of his Subcommittee will be to find out who picked the Central Intelligence
Agency to run clandestine military operations in Laos. Mr. Slatinshek told
me he had seen the press release but had not dicussed it with Chairman Nedzi.
He noted, however, that Chairman Nedzi's major concern at this point in time
is with the classification problem.
3. I ITalked with Bill Woodruff, Counsel, Senate
Appropriations Committee, about my conversation with Ed Braswell, Chief
Counsel, Senate Armed Services Committee, on Friday and our hope that
he (Woodruff) could join us in meeting at the Agency on the subject of the
funding of irregular forces in Laos and other possible problem areas which
might come up during consideration of the Defense Procurement bill in the
Congress. Woodruff said he would like very much to participate but said
his schedule this week was very tight and he doubted he would be able to
make such a meeting unless it was scheduled on Saturday morning. I told
him this was a possibility and I would be back in. touch with him.
4. Rhoda Kachilo, in the office of Representative
John H. Dent (D., Pa.), called to see if we could be of any assistance in
determining whether one of Mr. Dent's constituents from Export, Pennsylvania,
was a member of the U. S. delegation presently in Communist China. I told
Miss Kachilo we would not have this information and suggested she contact
either the State Department or the White House Congressional Liaison office.
