7. I I- JGO) Met with Chairman Lucien Nedzi, Intelligence
Subcommittee, House Armed Services Committee, and brought him up-to-date
for his information on Southern Air Transport and the Senate session on the
Defense bill. I reviewed with him the House Foreign Affairs Committee request
for briefing on Agency operations in Chile. In brief, Nedzi agreed that we
probably should not brief on Agency operations but that he could see no
objection to an intelligence briefing on the Chilean situation together with
an appropriate response to a question concerning Agency involvement in the
coup. He asked that I keep him advised.
8. JMM) Called Ed Braswell, Chief Counsel, Senate
Armed Services Committee, to say that the Director is anxious to talk to
Chairman Stennis as soon as convenient regarding hearings on our legislation
and also regarding our appearing before the Foreign Relations Committee on
Chile, etc. Braswell said that Stennis was preoccupied with the Trident
debate and the trial of his assailants this week and it might not be easy to
see him immediately but suggested I call his personal secretary Mildred Ward.
Called Mildred Ward and left word with her of the Director's desire
to see the Senator as soon as convenient. She said she will let us know and
indicated she would try to work it in this week.
9. I I- GLC) Made arrangements with Dorothy Fosdick,
Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations staff; Darrell St. Claire,
Ass ant Secretary to the Secretary of the Senate; and William H. Wannall,
Senate Sergeant at Arms, for the handling of classified charts to be used by
Senator Henry Jackson in a secret session briefing of the Senate on Soviet
weapons programs and for members of the Office of Security to conduct audio
surveillance of the Senate Chamber during the secret session. Mr. Duckett
and I then remained in the Vice President's office off the Senate reception room
during the session. At the conclusion of the secret session the charts were
collected and returned to Headquarters. I have called Messrs. Wannall and
St. Claire and thanked them for the exceptional assistance and courtesy extended
I received assurances from St. Claire, Wannall, and Fosdick that the
transcript of the secret session would receive special handling and be turned
over to the Armed Services Committee.
