2. (Confidential - JMM) Accompanied the Director and Messrs. Duckett
and George Allen who briefed the full House Armed Services Committee on
SALT verification. See Memo for Record and transcript.
3. (Confidential - JMM) The Director and I talked privately to
Frank Slatinshek, Chief Counsel, House Armed Services Committee, prior
to the Director's appearance this morning before the full Committee, and we
explained our serious concern about the $360 million ceiling which the Senate
had established for the U. S. program in Laos, and urged the importance of
knocking out this provision entirely, rather than trying to solve the problem
with technical changes in the language. Slatinshek fully agreed, and I asked
that he keep me informed of developments so we could explain the problem to
House conference members when the bill reaches. the House.
4. (Unclassified - JMM) Talked to Representative Bill Nichols and
explained that we would give I I a constituent in which he is 25X1
especially interested, every consideration, I had earlier told Nichols that we had
considered for the CT Program, but the present quota was filled and
the next class would not be until next year. This morning Nichols said he was
sure I would be willing to wait until the next class if there was any
chance of his getting Agency employment.

4. (Confidential - JMM) Jim Lowenstein, Senate Foreign Relations
Committee staff, called and said Chairman Fulbright would like him, Carl
Marcy and Richard Moose to attend the Chairman's briefing by an Agency
representative on the bombing of dikes in North Vietnam. They proposed
3:30 Thursday, 27 July, in room S-116 in the Capitol. Paul Walsh, Acting DDI
who will do the briefing has been notified.
5. (Confidential - JMM) Talked to Marshall Wright, Deputy Assistant
Secretary of State for Congressional Relations, and explained that we would
prefer that Mr. Abshire not attend our breakfast meeting with Senator Henry
Bellmon and his group of junior Republican senators.
Mr. Wright spoke of the shambles resulting from yesterday's Senate
action on the foreign aid bill and said the Administration now had three options--
a new bill in the Senate, a House bill (which the Senate would probably mutilate)
or submit the entire old foreign aid bill as an amendment to the military
authorization. He predicted that the second alternative, the House bill, would
be the most likely prospect.
I raised the question of the Laos ceiling, remarking that we would hope
to see this entire provision struck out in conference. Wright said he was not
up-to-date on this but he did understand that Defense was trying to work out
a deal with Chairman Hebert, House Armed Services Committee, to insert
some "artful language" in the bill that would limit the effect of the ceiling.
I said it seemed to us that having the ceiling struck out entirely would be
far preferable since the "artful language" approach was likely to get us in
trouble and cost us our credibility.
6. (Confidential - JMM) Met with Nancy Bearg, Research Assistant,
Senate Armed Services Committee, who briefed me on the highlights of
Secretary Laird's testimony before the Committee yesterday on SALT.
7. (Confidential - JMM) In the absence of Frank Slatinshek, Chief
Counsel, House Armed Services Committee, I left a message with his secretary,
Miss Kalinowski, reemphasizing what I had told him yesterday of our serious
concern about the Laos ceiling, and our belief that every possible effort should be
made in conference to strike out this provision entirely, rather than modifying
it with technical changes in the language. Miss Kalinowski was aware of the
problem and said that she didn't think the matter would come up for several weeks.

1. (Confidential - GLC) In a conversation today on another matter,
Ed Braswell, Chief Counsel, Senate Armed Services Committee, said he
wanted to ask the question for the record whether the Director would object
to having parts of his testimony quoted in the Committee hearings and reports
on the SALT agreement. I told him the Director had maintained a position
over the years of not agreeing to having any of his testimony before any
Committee quoted in the public record. I said there were ways of generalizing
some of his comments if he wished to try that approach, but Braswell said
that was not necessary. He said they would merely indicate for the record
that the Director appeared before the Committee in executive session and
briefed the members on U. S. detection capabilities in connection with the
SALT agreement.

9. (Unclassified - LLM) Late in the day Mr. McRae, on the staff of
the Senate Government Operations Committee, called to report that rather than
exempting from 5.3529 advisory committees dealing with intelligence or national

Agency by exempting "CIA advisory committees. " I will try to get other
particulars.

10. (Confidential - GLC) At the request of the Senate Armed Services
Committee the transcript of the Director's briefing on SALT verification of
26 June was made available for Committee hearings on this subject this week.
11. (Unclassified - GLC) At Mr. Thuermer's invitation I joined Tom
Dine, Legislative Assistant to Senator Frank Church (D., Idaho), and Thuermer
at lunch in the Executive Dining Room. During the luncheon conversation we
talked about the problems of secrecy in Government and the impact of the
Cooper bill, S. 2224, on the Agency.
12. (Unclassified - PLC) James Kronfeld, Staff member, Subcommittee
on Foreign Operations and Government Information, House Foreign Operations
Committee, called inquiring as to our implementation of E. 0. 11652 on
classification. He requested a short letter to Chairman Moorhead advising
that we are implementing the Order. He also requested a copy of our
regulation even if classified. I told him we were implementing the Order,
andthat a short note probably could be forwarded. I also told him I would
look into the request for a copy of our regulation since due to the nature of
our activities, it may be for internal use only.
13. (Unclassified - LLM) Called Mr. Bill White, Office of Manage-
ment and Budget, to ask for the status of OMB's clearance of the Director's
report to Chairman McClellan, Senate Government Operations Committee,
on S. 3529, advisory committee legislation. Later Mr. White called and
cleared the report for transmittal.
14. (Unclassified - LLM) Called Ray McRae, Minority Counsel,
Senate Government Operations Committee, in connection with the Committee's
executive session on a number of legislative items, including S. 3529, advisory
committee legislation. He said he would look out for our interests, but that
he doubted that the Committee would even have a quorum, or if they did, that
they would get to S. 3529 as there were a number of other legislative items
which would take precedence. I explained that the Office of Management and
Budget had not officially cleared the Director's report to Chairman McClellan
and that we would want our views known before the full Committee takes
action on the bill.

4. (Confidential - GLC) Peggy Brown, Senate Foreign Relations
Committee staff, called to say in their "mock up" of the record on SALT
hearings Staff Director Carl Marcy had asked her to include the opening
statement made by Chairman Fulbright at the Director's briefing of the
Committee on 20 June. Miss Brown asked for access to the Committee
transcript and wanted our agreement to their including the opening state-
ment (none of the Director's testimony will be included in the published
record). After checking the transcript I suggested to Miss Brown that the
Chairman's opening statement be modified to indicate that the Director was
testifying about verification of (rather than the advisability of) the interim
agreements in Moscow. She said she thought there would be no problem
on this but she would check it out with Mr. Marcy.
5. (Unclassified - GLC) Ed Braswell, Chief Counsel, Senate Armed
Services Committee, said that in view of the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee's report on S. 2224 to the Armed Services Committee he thought
we should proceed to clear our proposed report on this bill with OMB and
submit it to the Committee. I told him we would do this.
6. (Confidential - GLC) Returned to the Joint Committee on Atomic
Energy the corrected copy of the transcript of the Director's briefing of 25X1

Rangel (D., N.Y. ) Mr. Maury's letter transmitting an advance copy of the

I put him in touch with to make the arrangements.
5. John Ritch, Senate Foreign Relations Com-
mittee staff, called to say he had recently returned from a trip through
Europe and the Middle East with Senator William Spong investigating illicit
drug traffic. He said they had actually visited Germany, France, Turkey,
Iran and the UK but were interested in the drug situation on a worldwide
basis and would appreciate an Agency briefing in connection with the preparation
of their report. He assured me he has Top Secret clearance. I told him I 25X1
would be back in touch with him to set a date for a briefing, possibly Thursday.
7. (Internal Use Only - LLM) Mr. Malmborg, Assistant Legal
Adviser, Department of State, called on 14 July on referral from Mr. Hull
to discuss the age discrimination provision in S. 1861 (Fair Labor Standards
Amendments of 1972). Malmborg agreed that the provision did not appear to
be controlled by the terms in the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of
1967 and that it would be well if we could obtain a specific amendment to
preserve existing statutory authority concerning mandatory retirement, but
he explained that the Department had certain problems in this connection. I
suggested that the best approach might be to make our concerns known to
Chairman Hampton, of the Civil Service Commission, with the idea that he
could work out an adjustment in the language with the conferees, and Malmborg
agreed.

1. (Confidential - JMM) Called Jack Sullivan, House Foreign Affairs
Committee staff, confirming the Director's appearance before the Committee
at 10:00 a. m, on Thursday, 27 July to testify on SALT verification. It was
agreed that the testimony would be in executive session and that if a transcript
is made, which Sullivan said the Committee much preferred, custody would be
retained by the Agency.
2. (Confidential - JMM) Called Frank Slatinshek, Chief Counsel, House
Armed Services Committee, to confirm the Director's appearance before the
full Committee at 10:00 a. m. on Wednesday, 27 July to testify on SALT
verification.
3. (Internal Use Only - JMM) Frank Slatinshek, Chief Counsel, House
Armed Services Committee, called to say that Representative William Nichols
was particularly interested in the case of an applicant with apparently out-
standing qualifications who had been turned down. Slatinshek said he would
send over the applicant's name later rather than discuss it on the phone. I
said we would be glad to look into the case.
4. (Internal Use Only - LLM) Spoke with Bob Lockhart, Assistant
Counsel, House Post Office and Civil Service Committee, and closed out his
inquiry concerning the Agency's retirement age policy (see Journal of 11 July).
Lockhart said he had no problem with our policy but advised that the Committee
had routinely referred the matter to the Civil Service Commission.

5. (Secret - LLM) In response to his call, met with Bill Ashworth,
Senate Foreign Relations Committee staff, who explained that in connection
with Senate Resolutions 230 and 273 dealing with a comprehensive nuclear
test ban, the Committee wanted to make an authoritative reference in a report
on the Resolutions that effective monitoring of underground explosions without
onsite inspection is within the state of the art. He said the Director's response to
a question by Chairman Fulbright during the 20 June hearing on SALT verifi-
cation fit the bill. I told Ashworth that any attribution or quote of the
Director in this connection would be totally out of the question, which he
seemed to appreciate. Ashworth asked if we could review the 20 June transcript
and suggest some wording for the Committee report which would do justice to
the needs of both parties. In response to my question, Ashworth said that the
only position communicated by the Administration to the Committee on the
Resolutions was from Philip Farley, Arms Control and Disarmament Agency,
and was to the effect that the last time the proposition had been thoroughly
reviewed was in 1963 and it could be reviewed once again. (Ashworth made
no mention of State's report to Chairman Fulbright on S. Res. 230 which the
Office of Management and Budget had coordinated with us and which stated
that there is a level below which national means cannot distinguish between
natural and explosive seismic events. )

3. (Internal Use Only - LLM) In response to my earlier call, Tom
Moyer, in the General Counsel's office, Civil Service Commission, advised
that he had reviewed the nondiscrimination on account of age provision in S. 1861
(Fair Labor Standards Act Amendments) with Travis Mills, and they had con-
cluded that it was not inconsistent with the mandatory age provision of the Civil
Service Retirement Act because the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of
1967 applies only to those within the ages 40 to 65. I explained to Mr. Moyer
why I felt a much stronger case could be made that the provision in S. 1861 is
a separate and distinct enactment in the "form" of an amendment to the 1967
Act and, as 'a result, the Civil Service Commission could not take comfort in
the fact that the 1967 Act does not apply to a person 65 years of age or older.
4. (Unclassified - JMM) Delivered to William J. Van Ness, Chief
Counsel, Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs, some material from
Mr. Chritchfield responsive to a request from Senator Henry M. Jackson.
5. (Confidential - JMM) Met with Frank Slatinshek, Chief Counsel,
House Armed Services Committee, who said the full Committee would like to
hear the Director at 10:00 a. m. on Wednesday, 26 July regarding the Soviet
strategic situation and SALT verification. Slatinshek indicated the Committee
would like to cover the same ground which the Director had covered with Senate
Armed Services, and would like to be sure that they heard the Director prior
to his appearance before the House Foreign Affairs Committee on the same
subject on 27 July. I told Slatinshek the Director was out of town and would
probably not be back until near the end of the week but I would check with the
Director immediately upon his return.
Delivered to Slatinshek a blind memo regarding surplus military equip-
ment provided irregular forces in Laos through Agency channels, about which
Chairman Nedzi, Intelligence Subcommittee, had inquired during a recent briefing.
I explained that we could not provide definitive figures on surplus material
supplied through Defense channels. Slatinshek said that in this case he would not
show our paper to Nedzi unless Nedzi asked for it, since he thought Nedzi might
not understand our inability or reluctance to provide him with DOD figures. I
pointed out to Slatinshek the difficulties we might get into if we undertook to
provide congressional committees with information on what other U. S. agencies
were up to.

2. (Confidential - GLC) The Director advised that he had tried to

morning and learned this morning the Senator had left for Arizona. (This was
a follow up on a question Senator Goldwater had raised with the Director about
the effect of SALT on SAM-D--see Journal of 27 June o )
I talked to Mr. Killgore, Administrative Assistant to Senator Goldwater,
who said he was aware of the Director's call last night but they had been unable
to make contact with Senator Goldwater and we agreed that the matter could
wait until Congress reconvenes.
3. (Secret - GLC) Received a call from Richard Perle, Professional
Staff Member, Subcommittee on National Security and International Operations.
He said they had asked about offensive Soviet weapons data but had not asked
for information on defensive systems. He said they would like to know the
figures for the projected number of Soviet ABM interceptors and radars by
1977 without SALT. After checking with Bruce Clarke, D/OSR, I gave Perle
the figure of 1, 000 interceptors and 50 to 60 radars. When Perle asked for
further data concerning these figures I put him in direct touch with Mr. Clarke.

Wednesday - 28 June 1972
5. (Confidential - JGO) Received a call from Mr. Jack Sullivan,
House Foreign Affairs Committee staff, who told me the Chairman would
like to schedule Wednesday, 26 July, if that date is available on the
Director's calendar, for a briefing on verification of the SALT agreements.
I told Sullivan I would be back in touch with him tomorrows
6. (Confidential - JGO) Talked to Mr. Arthur Kuhl, Chief Clerk,
Senate Foreign Relations Committee, concerning the amendments made by
the Committee in S. 2224, a bill to amend the National Security Act of 1947.
In effect, the amendments eliminated the provision authorizing transmission
of Agency reports and analysis to other members of Congress.
7. (Internal Use Only - GLC) Late in the day I called Representative
Charles Gubser (R. , Calif.) to tell him of the Director's plans to respond to
a letter (which we have not yet received) which Representative Les Aspin
(D. , Wis.) placed in the Congressional Record referring to new evidence
indicating that CIA operated helicopters have been smuggling opium inside
Laos. I told him we had thought of including a paragraph in the letter
indicating that the Director was sending a copy of his response to Aspin to
Mr. Gubser in view of his interest in this problem, but wanted to be sure
he had no objection to our doing this. He said he had no objection whatsoever
and for us to "go right ahead. " He said furthermore he was prepared to go
much further and would either insert the letter in the Record or make a
statement on the subject or do anything we wished since he also was very
much concerned about what he referred to as "part of a conspiracy to
downgrade our American public institutions. " I thanked him very much
and told him we would keep his offer in mind and very likely be back in
touch with him.
