Symington called to say he was much concerned about the Southern Air Transport
situation and that "my lawyer" says it looks like CIA is trying to exert improper
influence on CAB and favor Williams. He asked what we cared what happens
to the airline and why we should stick our noses in its disposition anyway if
we didn't want it or need it. I told him I was not well up on it. He said Senator
William Proxmire had received complaints which he had passed on to Symington
and that Paul Seligman(?) had contacted Proxmire's office in the matter.
Symington very emphatically said that if we didn't want to keep the airline we
shouldn't try to influence who gets it. I said I would pass this on to Colby and
Houston.
