JOURNAL
OFFICE OF LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL
Friday - 5 May 1972
1. Attended a meeting at the State Department
of legislative liaison officers of various agencies on the dissemination of
information and personnel reduction provisions of the State Authorization
bill (S. 3526). See Memorandum for the Record.
2. George Murphy, Joint Committee on Atomic
Energy staff, called and asked for our assistance in preparing some graphical
material for Representative Chet Holifield (D., Calif.). I told Murphy we were
beset with considerable high priority work, but we would see what we could do
to be of assistance to Mr. Holifield.
3. I I Met with Mr. William Hogan, House Armed
Services Committee staff, who told me that Mr. Slatinshek, Assistant Chief
Counsel of the Committee staff, had suggested that he call Jack Maury to
finalize the briefing for the Nedzi Intelligence Subcommittee, Tuesday
morning, 9 May 1972, at 10:00 in Room 2216 Rayburn House Office Building.
I outlined for Mr. Hogan the general format of the prepared notes that Mr. Maury
would be working from. Mr. Hogan recommended that at a very minimum
a disclaimer be used early in the presentation if we are not going to cover
questions of classification and declassification under the Executive Order and
weaknesses in the Espionage Act in our main presentation. It was Mr. Hogan's
advice that if we would not touch this directly ourselves that the Chairman
might well interrupt and suggest that these are the areas of concern to the
Committee. Mr. Hogan noted that the Chairman has been rather forceful on
these points with each person who has appeared before the Committee. I
thanked him for the advice. He told me also that the usual Committee reporter
would be used and agreed that we should control the transcript in our normal
fashion. He noted that particularly for executive session the Chairman desires
a record of the proceedings before the Committee.
