Friday - 7 April 1972
4. Talked to John Lehman, of the
NSC staff, about our response to Senator Ervin's (D. , N. C.) request
for a report on our executive agreements with foreign countries.
Lehman suggested I talk to Charles Bevans, of State.
5. I called Charles Bevans, Assistant
Legal Advisor for Treaty Affairs of the State Department, and we agreed
on a text for our response to Senator Ervin saying that any such agreements
which the Agency has participated were being reported by the State
Department.
6. Received a call from Maurine Dantzic,
Senate Armed Services Committee staff, regarding General Walters'
nomination. She told me that the Senate did not call the executive
calendar on Friday.
7. Ed Braswell, Chief Counsel, Senate
Armed Services Committee, called to ask that we provide him with the
information for use in a possible speech by Senator Stennis (D. , Miss.. )
in oppossition to the Cooper bill (S. 2224) which would require that
intelligence material be made freely available to the Congress.
At the same time Braswell brought up his familiar concern about
the continued Agency role in handling the transfer of Defense funds to
the irregulars in Laos. I told Braswell that this was something that we
were doing because we were ordered to do it by higher authority. He
said we shouldn't be surprised if an amendment were proposed, and
passed, forbidding Defense to transfer to the Agency funds for the 25X1A
irregulars.
8. George Murphy, Joint Committee on
Atomic Energy staff, called to say that William Miller, on the staff of
Senator John Cooper (R. , Ky. ), had contacted him about the possibility
of givin
Cooper bill, S. 2224) a briefing on the physical security of the JCAE and
the procedures that the Committee follows. Mr. Murphy is reluctant to
get involved with without the approval of Chairman Pastore,
but wanted to confirm
and to 25X1A
verify that he left the "gency irL guou szaYraim . r. urp y an I
discussed the pros and cons of drawing parallels between the JCAE and
other committees of the Congress and Mr. Murphy said he planned to do
nothing on this unless he was pressed further by Mr. Miller and got the
approval of his Chairman.
