who requested a current updating of the information provided him earlier on
Soviet nuclear submarines, SLBMs, and strategic use of these weapons in
the Atlantic and Mediterranean in preparation for upcoming hearings on
ULMS. I told Representative Reid we would be unable to provide information

that there were unclassified reports in the press to the effect that he Soviets

Committee staff, regarding th case. Holt 5X1

25X1
5X1
mentioned to Holt that about a year and a half ago Chairman
Fulbright had spoken to the Director of something that Holt had said to the
Chairman about ITT political activities in Chile. I asked Holt if he could
recall just what this was about. Holt said he had not been in Chile during
that time but had only mentioned to the Chairman that during his travel to
other Latin American countries at that time, he had heard rumors that ITT
was -up to something in Chile.
2. (Secret - JMM) Briefed Bill Woodruff, Senate Appropriations
Committee staff, on recent developments regarding Soviet SLBM program.
Woodruff said that DIA had already briefed him on this "with the pictures, 11 and
it was an excellent briefing.
I told Woodruff that Bronson Tweedy, D/DCI/IC, would appreciate
being free to use some of his (Woodruff's) comments about funding certain
programs in Tweedy's upcoming discussion with Hall and McLucas of
Defense. Woodruff asked that this be done very discreetly, and I assured
him that it would be. Woodruff said he didn't want the Pentagon to get the
impression that he was speaking for the Committee--that only Ellender
could do this.
3. (Secret - JMM) Met with Senator Symington (D. , Mo.) as a
followup to his complaints to the Director during the Armed Services
Subcommittee session on 5 April about duplication of intelligence activities
in the (Middle East. It turned out Symington had confused some MAG and
communications activities with intelligence operations, and after a
40-minute talk he seemed fairly satisfied. During our conversation he
complained that too many burdens were being imposed on the Agency, such
as economic reporting, paramilitary operations, covering the narcotics
traffic, etc.
