OFFICE OF LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL
Wednesday - 28 June 1972
1. (Confidential - GLC) Checked again with Bill Woodruff, Counsel,
Senate Appropriations Committee, and he said he had no objection and no
suggestions to the draft report which we proposed to submit to Senate Govern-
ment Operations Committee on S. 3529 which has to do with advisory committees
in Government.
2. (Unclassified - GLC) Received another call from Miss Molly
Shulman, in the office of Representative J. J. Pickle (D., Texas), asking if
we could make some arrangement to give their summer interns a tour of the
Headquarters building. As I had indicated to her before, I told Miss Shulman
we did not normally provide tours of our Headquarters but I would have a
member of our staff drop by their office to see if we could arrange an informal
talk with their interns to tell them something about the Agency.
3. (Confidential - GLC) Advised Ed Braswell, Senate Armed Services
Committee staff, that the Senate Foreign Relations Committee had ordered
S. 2224 reported out of Committee. I told Braswell it was our understanding
that while the rules of the Senate normally require that a bill such as this which
has been referred jointly to two committees must have joint reports filed,
Senator Fulbright could file his report separately with the unanimous consent
of the Senate. Braswell acknowledged this to be the procedure and said he
would look into the matter.
4. (Secret - GLC) The only copy of the Director's testimony before
the Senate Armed Services Committee on SALT verification was received
yesterday from Ward & Paul through Security channels and was provided the
Committee this morning. We will pick the transcript up each day and return
it the following morning as long as the Committee has a need for it.

5. (Confidential - JGO) Received a call from Mr. Jack Sullivan,
House Foreign Affairs Committee staff, who told me the Chairman would
like to schedule Wednesday, 26 July, if that date is available on the
Director's calendar, for a briefing on verification of the SALT agreements.
I told Sullivan I would be back in touch with him tomorrow.
6. (Confidential - JGO) Talked to Mr. Arthur Kuhl, Chief Clerk,
Senate Foreign Relations Committee, concerning the amendments made by
the Committee in S. 2224, a bill to amend the National Security Act of 1947.
In effect, the amendments eliminated the provision authorizing transmission
of Agency reports and analysis to other members of Congress.
7. (Internal Use Only - GLC) Late in the day I called Representative
Charles Gubser (R. , Calif.) to tell him of the Director's plans to respond to
a letter (which we have not yet received) which Representative Les Aspin
(D. , Wis.) placed in the Congressional Record referring to new evidence
indicating that CIA operated helicopters have been smuggling opium inside
Laos. I told him we had thought of including a paragraph in the letter
indicating that the Director was sending a copy of his response to Aspin to
Mr. Gubser in view of his interest in this problem, but wanted to be sure
he had no objection to our doing this. He said he had no objection whatsoever
and for us to "go right ahead. " He said furthermore he was prepared to go
much further and would either insert the letter in the Record or make a
statement on the subject or do anything we wished since he also was very
much concerned about what he referred to as "part of a conspiracy to
downgrade our American public institutions. " I thanked him very much
and told him we would keep his offer in mind and very likely be back in
touch with him.

8. (Unclassified - LLM) Spoke with Bill McAfee and Sidney Buford, INR/
State Department, to learn what information they had on the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee's action favorably reporting S. 2224 (the Cooper bill
requiring the dissemination of intelligence information to the Congress).
They did not know the nature of the amendments to the bill approved by the
Committee and I requested Mr. Buford to keep us informed of any significant
developments, which he said he would do.
