OFFICE OF LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL
Wednesday - 19 December 1973
1. (Confidential - GLC) Representative Ralph Regula (R. , Ohio)
visited the Agency this morning for breakfast with General Walters and
Messrs. Maury, ere also present. The Congressman
was given a general briefing on e relationship of the Agency in the Executive
Branch structure, the function of USIB, and the general organization of the
Agency. Regula was most interested and attentive. He was particularly
interested in the input which the Agency has in the formulation of U. S.
economic programs and policies. He also suggested that we try to reach more
freshman members of Congress for briefings of the sort he received this
morning and he agreed to provide us with the names of approximately a dozen
members (like Representative William Keating (R., Ohio) whom he mentioned
as a prospect) for such a briefing session. He will get the list to us in the
next few days.
I also approached Regula about speaking to a group such as the Advanced
Intelligence Seminar. He said he would be happy to do this if he could work out
the timing.
2. (Unclassified - GLC) Talked very briefly with Herb Roback, Staff
Director, House Government Operations Committee, who was in a Committee
meeting and told him of the several contacts we have had with Messrs. Jones
and Copenhaver, of the Government Activities Subcommittee staff, regarding
the sale of SAT and of their specific requests to John Warner, OGC, for
infox on per raining to this sale. I told Roback this was the type of infor-
mation which we did not normally give out without clearing it with our parent
committee. I wondered in view of our discussions with him on this subject
if he could talk to these two staff members and ameliorate their concern.
Roback said he was not sure he could but he would be back in touch with me
when he could discuss the matter more fully.

about a speaker for the Advanced Intelligence Seminar on Capitol Hill on

4. (Unclassified - GLC) Spoke with Larry McHugh, Joint Economic
Committee staff, and Don Henderson, Senate Foreign Relations Committee
staff, regarding the possibility of our providing their Committees with the
economic indicators information directly instead of through the Council for

this as loner as the Committee Lot the information.
