9. I (During the rather lengthy meeting where
Chairman Nedzi, Intelligence Subcommittee of House Armed Services
Committee, briefed John Maury and myself on various matters, I took the
occasion to close out the questions concerning Agency targeting of B'nai B'rith
and pressures applied on a Chinese traveller set forth in the New York Daily
News article of 10 June by Joseph Volz. In brief, I reported that the tar eting
of B'nai B'rith was a complete fabrication,
Since our record is clear on these points, Chairman Nedzi agreed that there
is no utility in further checks on this matter.
10. Before meeting with the Near East and
South Asia Subcommittee of House Foreign Affairs Committee, John Maury
took the occasion to discuss with Chairman Hamilton his letter of 29 June
concerning CIA relationship with the government of South Vietnam detention
and interrogation centers. In brief, Hamilton indicated that he would like as
much information as possible for publication. In addition, he would like a
personal briefing on the additional matter that cannot be released. Mr. Colby
and George Carver, SAVA, have been advised.
