10. Marshall Wright, Deputy Assistant
Secretary of State for Congressional Relations, called to say Senator Henry
Bellmon (R., Okla.) had revived the idea of visiting the Agency for a breakfast
and briefing with the Director. Wright said Belimon now proposed a smaller
group than originally contemplated consisting of junior Republican Senators
Buckley (N. Y. ), Roth (Del. ), Fannin (Ariz. ), Taft (Ohio) and Stevens (Alaska).
Wright confided that the Administration is particularly anxious to cultivate this
group and would like some credit for arranging the meeting so he would prefer
I confirm it through him rather than directly. Once confirmed he would like
us to work out the details with Bellmon's office.
11. Called Tom Korologos, White House staff,
to ask for copies of White House correspondence with Senator Fulbright
regarding Fulbright's request for a National Intelligence Estimate. He
referred me to John Lehman, NSC staff.
12. I Discussed with John Lehman, NSC staff,
Senator Fulbright's request for a copy of a National Estimate, and asked for
copies of Fulbright's request to the White House on the subject and the White
House reply. Lehman said he would look into the matter and the White House
may draft something for the Director's signature to Fulbright. Lehman spoke
very highly of his impressions of Agency personnel he met during his recent
trip to Indochina, See Memo for Record.
13.. Called David Martin, Senate Internal Subcom-
mittee staff, and John Ritch, Senate Foreign Relations Committee staff, to whom
we had given advanced copies of the unclassified World Opium Survey,to explain
that public release of this document was being delayed and urged that in the 25,
meantime they refrain from revealing their knowledge or possession of it, to
which they agreed.
