5. Met with Ed Braswell, Jack Ticer and
Jim Woolsey, Senate Armed Services Committee staff, and briefed them on
details regarding our relationships with local police and left with them a
copy of my letter to Representative Edward I. Koch on this subject. I also
brought them up-to-date regarding the history of our relations with ITT and
the fact that we were in no way implicated in the Watergate affair,
6. I I Called Marshall Wright, Acting Assistant
Secretary of State for Congressional Relations, who said he had just gotten
word that the Senate Foreign Relations Committee had voted approval of
the Helms' nomination.
7, Arranged for a meeting between Representative
William Minshall and a foreign visitor of interest to the Agency for 12:00
tomorrow.
8. Met with Senator Hubert Humphrey whom I
briefed on the latest information regarding the Soviet wheat crop, in which he
was particularly interested. The Senator said he was also interested in the
wheat and feed grain situations in certain free world areas, especially
Argentina, Australia and India and spoke of the special problem in Bangledesh.
I said we were not primarily responsible for reporting and analysis on these
areas, since we concentrated on Eastern Europe, the Soviet Union and China.
I suggested he raise questions regarding other areas with the Foreign
Agricultural Service.
I gave Senator Humphrey .full details regarding our involvement with
local police forces, any connections we may have had with ITT, and the fact
that we were completely clear with regard to the Watergate affair. I said I
hoped he would try to keep the Church Subcommittee of Senate Foreign
Relations investigation of our relations with ITT from getting off the track.
He said he certainly wanted to be helpful and would "do his homework" on this
matter,
9. Talked to Catherine Koeberlein,
Assistant to Herb Roback, Legislation and Military Operations Subcommittee
staff of House Government Operations Committee, and changed the time of
the meeting tomorrow to 10:30 a. m. See Journal of 6 February 1973.
