1. (Unclassified - DSB) Received a call from the office of
Representative James T. Broyhill (R. , N. Car.) requesting a personnel
interview for a constituent. After checking with Mr. Office
of Personnel, I informed them that an appointment bad been set up for
tomorrow morning, 10 June 1971, at 11:15 a. m.
2. (Internal Use Only - LLM) Called Victor Zafra, OMB, to
check on the status of our proposed Retirement Act amendments and he
acknowledged that while they had received the material from us on
29 April, for some reason OMB did not send it out for comment of other
agencies until 13 May. He said unless we hear earlier from him, we
should call him again on 24 June and he will gig the reporting agencies
to get their comments.
3. (Unclassified - LLM) In response to her request of yester-
day, called Miss Laura Aidt, in the office of Representative Robert T.
Stafford (R. , Vt. ), concerning employment possibilities for a Spanish/
French translator. It was agreed that we would send her Agency applica-
tion forms and brochures. I told her she might also want to check with
U. S. JPRS. Miss Aidt was most appreciative.

5. (Confidential - JGO) Met briefly with Mr. Arthur Kuhl,
Chief Clerk, Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and told him that
we had received a request for the transcript of the Director's appearance
on 5 May 1971 concerning Brazil for ostensible delivery to the Committee
offices in the New Senate Office Building. Mr. Kuhl thanked me for the
advice and told me to have it delivered to the main Committee room,
S-116, and he would handle it in accord withthe established procedures.
6. (Confidential - JGO) Met with Mr. Ralph Preston, House
Appropriations Committee staff, and reviewed with him Chairman
Mahon 's letter to Representative David Henderson (D. , N. Car. ), of the
House Post Office and Civil Service Committee, of 30 June 1970 concerning
full exemption of CIA from the Ervin bill and gave him a draft of a
possible letter to Chairman Thaddeus Dulski (D. , N. Y. ), of the House
PO&CS Committee, concerning similar legislation presently under
consideration in the Committee. Mr. Preston will discuss the proposed
letter with the Chairman and advise me.
7. (Confidential - JGO) Met with Mr. Richard Barton, Employee
Benefits Subcommittee, who told me that he feels that Chairman Hanley
is convinced at present after this morning's meeting of the need for full
exemption for the Agency from whatever measure is approved by the
Committee relating to invasion of privacy of Federal employees. He was
also impressed by the amount of time the Director gave to the Committee.
Mr. Barton told me that Mrs. Myers, who handles the Committee records,
is away for the next two days and that he will check the various application,
psychological, and other forms in the possession of the Committee as soon
as she returns on Monday. He believes each of the forms covered in this
morning's meeting is already in Committee file. He noted, in passing, that
there will be very little action on the bill pending the executive session of
the Subcommittee on Wednesday, 23 June, which would be the first
occasion the Committee will have to discuss the bill and to instruct the
staff. There are other items of some importance on the agenda for that
session that could limit the time available for Committee discussion and
cause it to go over to the next executive session.

8. (Secret - JGO) Met with Messrs. John Blandford and Frank
Slatinshek, House Armed Services Committee staff, who told me that
Chairman Hebert will need an Agency budget briefing for himself and
Mr. Arends in anticipation of going to the floor probably on Tuesday,
15 June, with the Defense appropriations authorization bill. Upon checking
with Chairman Hebert, it was determined that he will be out of the city
from Friday through Monday and the only time available tomorrow to
meet with him and Mr. Arends is 9:15 a. m. After checking with the
Director and Colonel White, the meeting was confirmed with Miss Alma
Moore, of Chairman Hebertrs staff. I relayed the Director's apologies
for not being able to meet with the Chairman in the morning and told her
that Colonel White, Cord Meyer, ADDP, John Clarke, OPPB, and
Jack Maury would be at the Chairman's office at 9:15 a. m.
9. (Confidential - GLC) Frank Hand, of DOD, called to say that
General Lawrence informed him DOD has been asked to testify before the
Muskie Subcommittee (Laird on 16 June and Foster on 17 June) and he
wondered whether the Director has been asked to appear also. I told Hand
an informal request had been made but we had replied there were no
significant changes since the Director's testimony before that Subcommittee
on 29 March. See Journal of 7 June.
10. (Unclassified - GLC) Representative Morris Udall (D., Ariz. )
expressed his apologies and embarrassment for missing the breakfast
meeting with the Hanley Subcommittee this morning. He said he had looked
forward to the session for some time. I told him we would be happy to
get together with him privately and review the substance of this morning's
meeting.
11. (Confidential - GLC) Bill Woodruff, Counsel, Senate Appropria-
tions Committee, called and said unless he was overruled we should start
our budget session Friday morning without a shorthand reporter, but should
be prepared to change this on a crash basis if necessary. He added that he
would take notes and he would like a copy of Mr. Maury's notes also. (I have
advised Frank Stout, of the Alderson Reporting Company, about the transcript
situation. )

12. (Unclassified - GLC) Lee Williams, Administrative Assistant to
Senator J. W. Fulbright (D., Ark.), called and asked if I would drop by his
office tomorrow to give him some advice on a matter. I told him I would come
by in the morning.
13. (Confidential - JMM) Phil Trimble, staff of Senator Muskie's
Subcommittee on Arms Control, International Law and Organization of Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, called to say that on the basis of staff discus-
sions it was clear that Senator Muskie was anxious to work something out
regarding the Director's appearance on 15 June. He said that they very much
hoped the Director could appear briefly on that day, probably late in the
morning since ACDA Director Smith was appearing at 10:00 a. m. He suggested
the Director might appear around 11:30 a. m. or 12:00. I said I would have to
consult the Director and call him back. He said he hoped for an answer by
no later than late tomorrow morning. On the Director's instructions, I
called Trimble back to say the Director still had some problems with Senator
Muskie's request and would like me to discuss them with the Senator personally
as soon as convenient. Trimble said he would try to arrange this for tomorrow.
14. (Confidential - JMM) Attended the Legislative Interdepartmental
Group meeting in the White House at which Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty
and the Symington amendment putting a ceiling on U. S. expenditures in Laos
were discussed. See Memo for Record for details.
15. (Confidential - JMM) Representatives Hanley, Brasco and White
of the Employee Benefits Subcommittee of House Post Office and Civil Service
Committee, breakfasted at Headquarters and were briefed on our problems
regarding the Ervin bill by the Director, Colonel White, Mr. Coffey, Mr.
and Mr. Maury.
