McCarthy was, asked if the:,
law prohibits the CIA from:
becoming involved in domes-
tic operations. He said the
"law is unclear" on' t h i s
point, and that while lie be
lieved the operations in the"
United States should be kept':
to a minimum, it would be
impossible to say that all CIA.
operations had to stop in the
United- States.
McCarthy said that he did
not consult with President;
Johnson or anyone else in the
administration, or with his
Senate colleagues before
drawing up his resolution for.
'a select committee.
He said that he had a call
from CIA Director Richard
Helms, and "talked to him
about the -case" of the CIA
financing of the NSA.
