3. After consulting with the Director, called
Bill Ashworth, Senate Foreign Relations Committee, to say the Director would
be glad to appear before the Committee in executive session to discuss verification
only on Tuesday, 20 June at 10:00 a. m. Ashworth said this would be fine but he
hoped the Director might also bring the Committee up-to-date on recent develop-
ments regarding Soviet strategic weapons. I said I would raise this with the
Director.
Ashworth said he was handling the SALT matter for the Committee staff
aryl would like to get himself briefed on matters regarding the Soviet strategic
picture prior to the hearing and wondered if there was someone in the Agency
he could talk to for this purpose. I said I would let him know.
4. Mr. Robert M. Blum, Senate Foreign Relations
Committee staff, visited Headquarters and met wit eputy
for Information Processing, ISD, andi as a o owup to airmai?5X1A
Fulbright's letter of 16 May requesting access to OSS files on Indochina. See
Memorandum for the Record.
5. Messrs. Maury and met with Ed BrasweIJ0
and Jim Woolsey, Senate Armed Services Committee s a , and talked with t~
about getting a floor manager for an amendment to strike section 515 of the
Foreign Assistance Authorization bill (S. 3390) now pending on the Senate floor.
The staffers indicated Senator Stennis was too overloaded to take this on and
suggested we look elsewhere for help on this.
We subsequently talked with Senator Peter Dominick (R., Colo.) who,
although also overly committed in handling legislation on the floor, agreed to
introduce an amendment to strike section 515 on the condition we would get
Senators Cannon and Byrd (of Virginia) to work with him in handling this on
the floor. Messrs. Charles Kendrick and Jim Robb, of the Senator's staff,
will be handling this for him and we agreed to provide them with a package of
material on the legislation tomorrow morning.
