JOURNAL
OFFICE OF LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL
Thursday - 19 April 1973
1. I John Goldsmith, Senate Armed Services
Committee staff, called to say he would like me to come over and look at
the galley proofs of the transcript of the Director's appearance in connection
with our legislation, which they plan to make public.
2. reported that a re orter
from the Louisville Courier Journal had called him on the
cases in followup of his conversations with Schwartz' sister, Mrs. or an,
and with Senator Marlow Cook's (R. , Ky. ) office. Subsequently I called
Mrs., McElroy, in the Senator's office, and she assured me that whatever
had been provided David Kindred was limited to the statement I had left with
the Senator.
3. At the request of John Goldsmith, Senate
Armed Services Committee staff, reviewed the galley proofs of the 5 April
hearing on S. 1494 and made several minor changes. I told Goldsmith that
the revision of Senator Symington's question on Laos, which we had not
seen previously, created an erroneous impression that the Director runs
the war in Laos and the unfortunate implication that he was also responsible
for resumption of the B-52 bombing. Goldsmith saw the point and will take
it up with Kathy Nelson, of Symington's staff. I told him I hoped something
could be done because we could not approve the galleys in their present
form, suggesting at the minimum that Symington's statement "Your Agency
runs the war operations in Laos" be changed to "Your Agency runs operations
in Laos. "
4. Called Miles Costick, staff assistant to
Representative Ben Blackburn (R., Ga.), and confirmed a briefing on
Soviet East/West trade to be given on Tuesday morning, 24 April, in
Blackburn's office by OER.
