4. I I Talked to Jim Calloway, Counsel, Senate
Appropriations ommit ee, a out our concern with the so-called Holtzman
amendment to H. R. 8152 (which amends Title I of the Omnibus Crime
Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968). I mentioned the view expressed by
the General Counsel of Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAAA)
on this amendment (see John Warner's Memorandum of 19 June 1973) and
added that I thought it would be bad for the Agency if it tried to. cooperate
with LEAA in the face of the Holtzman proposal. Calloway said he agreed
completely. I also told him that although this amendment had much popular
appeal if any limitations were to be placed on the Agency in this regard I
thought it would be much better that these limitations be made in the form
of regulations rather than in the statutes. Calloway said he would "take
care of it. " I mentioned that I as also talking to G. Robert
Blakey, Chief Counsel, Senate Subcommittee on Criminal Laws and
Procedures, Judiciary Committee (which Senator McClellan chairs).
Later in the day Calloway called to say he had talked to members
of the Criminal Laws Subcommittee staff and there were several parlia-
mentary approaches through which the Holtzman amendment could be
eliminated, one of which is substitution of the Senate bill which does not
have this restrictive language. He said he would be seeing Senator
McClellan later in the day and would bring him up-to-date on our interest
in this bill.
Calloway approved our itinerary for the European trip leaving on
10 August and returning on 22 August.
5? Called Kathy Nelson, in the office of Senator
Stuart Symington, regarding his letter to the Director of 12 June inquiring about
SAT. I said this was a complicated matter which we felt could best be handled
personally rather than in a written reply and Messrs. Colby, Houston and I would
appreciate a chance to meet with the Senator at hi s earliest convenience for
this purpose. She said he had a heavy schedule today but she hoped she
could work out a meeting for tomorrow.
