3. Talked to Eleanor Holms, Appointment
Secretary for Senator Henry Jackson (D. , Wash. ), to arrange a date for
Ted Shackley and me to see the Senator regarding a matter of some
importance on which the Director would appreciate his views. An appoint-
ment was made for 2 p.m. tomorrow at the Senator's office.
4. After a discussion with
25X1
OER, called J. Sourwine, Chief Counsel, Senate Internal Security Sub-
committee, and told him that we could not provide an official figure as
to the amount of gold reserves in the Soviet Union. I referred him to
the figure given in the publication, Gold-1971, by David Lloyd-Jacob
and Peter Fells, which is accepted as a good ball park figure. He
appreciated the information and told me that Mr. Brand, in the Library
of Congress, was preparing a study on world gold reserves should we
be interested. Sourwine had requested this information for an un-
named senator who is proposing legislation for the U. S. to mine and
hoard gold. (See Journal for 20 February 1973. )
5. CIA congressional
intern in the office of Senator Bob Packwood (R., Oreg.), called concerning
a constituent who said the Government had welshed on a finder's fee for
gold bullion which he helped locate following World War II. Under the
facts, it was suggested that contact the Department of the
Army Congressional Liaison.
6. Talked to Art Kuhl, Chief Clerk, Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, who told me that hearing dates have been
scheduled for the Multinational Corporation Subcommittee for 20, 21, 22,
27, 28, and 29 March. No other Committee business has been scheduled.
Kuhl said that the Chairman hopes to have the organization of the Committee
finished by the end of this week. Ted Shackley, WH Division, has been
advised.
7. Talked to Mike Finley, Inter-American
Affairs Subcommittee staff of House Foreign Affairs Committee, and tried to
work out a date with him for a current intelligence briefing for the Subcommittee.
It was finally determined that it will be necessary to go over to the second or
third week of March. Finley will call me.
