Dear Chairman
OGC 70-1170
On receipt of your letter of June 22, 1970. requesting
certain materials from this Agency in connection with proceed-
ings of the Special Subcommittee considering H. Res. 920, I
had an initial review of our files -iside and instructed represent-
atives of this Agency to discuss the matter with members of the
Subcommittee staff. As a result of their description of the full
scope of the Subcommittee's interest, I directed our General
Counsel to make an intensive search of our files to determine
U there is any relevant material. He informs me that he has
personally made such a search and that the only information in
our possession which appears to be pertinent has to do with
financial support given by the Albert Parvin Foundation to the
Interarnerican Center for Economic and Social Studies (CIDES)
at the request of its Executive Director, Sacha Volman. to
Associate Justice William 0. Douglas, who was on the board
of the Foundation. This information is presumably available
in the Albert P a xvin Foundation's files. There is also infor-
mation that Mr. Daniel Perlmutter was associated with Sacha
Volrann.
There is no information in the files of the Central
Intelligence Agency other than that noted above which has a
bearing on H. Res. 920 or the points covered by Representative

Gerald R. Ford in his statement on the floor of the House of
Representatives on April 15. 1970. This is to be expected. as
it is our policy not to concern ourselves with United States
citizens, either at home or abroad, unless they are specifi-
cally involved in some activity directly related to the foreign
intelligence field.
Sincerely,
