OFFICE OF LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL
Monday - 10 August 1970
25X1A
1. (Confidential - JMM) On the Director's instructions called
Kenneth Harkins, of the House Judiciary Committee staff, to say that
the Director didn't want to be difficult but couldn't understand why an
additional letter to the Committee was necessary (as Mr. Harkins had
requested last week) when there was really nothing more to say. Harkins
explained that he wanted the letter so that "the Committee won't have to
take my word for it. " Accordingly the Director signed a noncommittal
letter confirming that, since there was nothing to add, he stood on his
15 July letter.
2. (Internal Use Only - JGO) Met with Mr. Stephen Small,
Assistant to Senator Clifford P. Case (R. , N. J.), and discussed with him
the constituent correspondence from
that was forwarded by the Senator's office transmittal note
of 5 August. Mr. Small advised that he has talked to the Veterans
Administration and received some information from them on why the
individual might write such a letter. Mr. Small was interested in learning
about the Agency's no comment policy on such cases. He thanked me for
coming by and told me no further action would be required.

3. (Confidential - JGO) Received a call from Mr. J. G. Sourwine,
Chief Counsel, Senate Internal Security Subcommittee, who requested such
information as we can provide him on who Mr. Sourwine 25X1A
indicated "worked for the company some eight years ago." I took this
occasion to brief Mr. Sourwine more fully on the inability of - 25X1A
25X1A to meet with the Subcommittee this week. Mr. Sourwine
asked if we would furnish him as soon as possible with an address where
25X1A can be reached. After checking with 25X1A
Division, I gave Mr. Sourwine the following address: 25X1A
