OFFICE OF LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL
Tuesday - 6 April 1971
1. (Secret - GLC) Mr. of OSR, called concerning
a query they had received from it the SALT talks for 25X1A
information about the "clearances" of Senators Pastore and Symington
and Representatives Anderson and Hansen as well as staff member
25X1X George Murphy of the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy. I explained
to - that we did not clear members of Congress as such, but
that all of the members mentioned have been exposed to information
at the highest security levels, including compartmented information,
25X1X and that Murphy has all the clearances for this material. In response
to a further question, I advised-the JCAE had not been briefed
on the "missile holes" since the Director briefed that Committee prior
to the acquisition of the information about them. Senator Symington
did receive this information, however, in briefings of the Senate Armed
Services Committee and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
2. (Unclassified - GLC) Spoke to approximately 45 high school
seniors, who are in Washington on a trip sponsored by the YMCA of
Albert Lea, Minnesota, about the Agency. The talk was given in
response to a request from Representative Albert Quie (R. , Minn. )
who said this group was interested in knowing something about the
Agency. The group was polite, attentive, and posed a number of good
questions.
3. (Unclassified - GLC) Hand-carried to Mr. Mayne, on the
STATSPEC staff of Senator Fred Harris (D. , Okla. ), a copy of the
containing Brezhnev's speech to the Soviet Party Congress.

4. (Unclassified - GLC) Queried Harriet Robnett, on the staff
of Senator Stuart Symington (D. , Mo. ), to see if their files reflected
any statements by the Senator on the subject of the Green Beret case
at the time it was active. She said a check of their records disclosed
no such statements and she is inclined to agree with our recollection
that the Senator thought of making a statement if the situation worsened,
but never actually spoke on the subject.
5. (Secret - GLC) Mr. FE, called to
see if we could discreetly ascertain the reasons behind Senator Adlai
Stevenson's proposing a congressional commission to assure that the
U. S. Government keeps out of the upcoming South Vietnam presidential
election campaign.
6. (Secret - JMM) Accompanied SAVA, who
briefed Senator Thomas F. Eagleton (D. , Mo.) preparatory to the
Senator's upcoming trip to Southeast Asia. The Senator's interest
25X1A focused particularly on the effects of the recent South Vietnamese
operation in Laos and the accuracy of the intelligence on which that
operation had been planned. He spoke highly of Mr. -knowledge
and candor, in discussing the situation. Mr. Steve Vossmeyer, of the
25X1A Senator's staff, was present.
7. (Confidential - JMM) Received a call from OSI,
who explained that he had been called by a Mr. William Horton, of GAO,
who requested a recent National Intelligence Estimate (NIE 11-11-69) and
a USIB Scientific Intelligence Committee study (SIC 1-68) on Soviet
chemical warfare. I told _I would follow up, and called Horton
back to say that such studies were not available outside the intelligence
community. Horton was unfamiliar with the purposes for which the studies
were needed, and referred me to Mr. T. F. Zuenges, Defense Division of
GAO.

Appropriations Committee, and informed him of:

requests they will impose intolerable burdens on us.

my earlier acquaintance with him.
11. (Confidential - JGO) Met with Mr. John R. Blandford,
Chief Counsel, House Armed Services Committee, and reviewed with
him the draft response to the letter of 30 March to Representative
Edward I. Koch (D. , N. Y. ). In his opinion our approach to the
response is a good one.
