CONFIDENTIAL.
Monday - 26 November 1973
16. (Confidential - JGO) In response to a call from
25X1A
OCI, for information requested by the Director, I had several telephone
conversations over the weekend with members of the Foreign Affairs Committee*
staff. I was finally able to contact Mike Finley, Inter-American Affairs Sub-
committee staff, and learned from him that Representative.Michael Harrington
(D. , Mass.) has not yet filed a report on his trip to Chile but that he was quoted
by a backpage item in the New York Times as having said that he went to Chile
with a bias and returned with the same bias. I was able to ascertain that the
bias referenced would be a belief that the CIA was actively involved in the
overthrow of the Allende government and that U. S. Government policies
during the period of the Allende government were in opposition to the aims
of that government. Mr. Harrington met with all but one member of the junta
(Pinochet) during his visit to Chile. The various meetings attended by
Mr. Harrington are detailed in a lengthy cable by Matt Davis of the Embassy
who was apparently present at some if not all of the meetings. 25X1A
has been advised.
17. (Internal Use Only - JGO) Met with L. James Kronfeld, Staff
Counsel, Subcommittee on Foreign O :rati ns and Gov n - T
and reviewed with him Agency correspondence started in June 1971 through
October 1973 with Mr. R. W. Koch of Long Beach, California, who had
written Kronfeld concerning release of information by CIA for his use in
research dealing with the World War II "Liberator" pistol and its distribution.
Kronfeld told me he would respond directly to Koch without further reference
to the Agency telling him in effect that he had been in contact with the Agency
and others and it would appear that no further information on the subject
other than that already provided is available. I thanked Kronfeld for his
conside ration.
18. (Unclassified - JGO) Talked to Bill Hogan, House Special Sub-
committee on Intelligence, Armed Services Committee, who told me the
question of handling the CIARDS cost-of-living amendment would be taken
up at the 8:30 meeting of the staff tomorrow morning.
