25X1 8. Guy McConnell, Senate Appropriations
Committee sta f , called to discuss plans for the Director's appearance
tomorrow before the Committee. He said the Chairman would like to have
all the Subcommittee members present from the beginning (at 2:00 p. m. )
to get a review of the NSSCIDs before going into the world situation briefing.
I said I was sure Mr. Colby would have no objection to reviewing the NSCIDs
with the Subcommittee if this was the Chairman's wish but pointed out there was
one sensitive matter involving withdrawal from the Reserves which had never
been discussed previously with other than Chairman McClellan and Senator
Milton Young and I thought it best that this matter be taken up privately with
them if the opportunity presented itself. McConnell agreed.

9.1 1 Met with Ralph Preston, House Appropriations
Committee staff, and delivered to him copy number 15 of the "National
Intelligence Program" dated 11 July 1973, and the short form Agency budget
briefing dated 9 October. I also gave Preston a copy of the Middle East
briefing outline and current situation report. With regard to the Agency
budget, Preston suggested that if the Director cancels his trip, Tuesday
16 October, would be available for briefing the Special Group on the
intelligence community and Agency budgets. After checking the Director's
office as to the Director's availability for Tuesday, Preston told me that he
will be meeting with the Chairman this evening and will confirm as early as
possible tomorrow.
