OFFICE OF LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL
Wednesday - 17 May 1972
1. (Unclassified - GLC) Left with Judy Eisenhower, Personal
Secretary to Senator Barry Goldwater (R. , Ariz. ), a check covering the
cost of the lunch on Capitol Hill at which the Senator spoke to the Senior
Seminar on 19 April.
2. (Confidential - GLC) George Murphy, Joint Committee on Atomic
Energy staff, called and said they were tentatively exploring the possibility
of the Director's briefing the Committee on 13, 14, or 15 June on Soviet
nuclear weapons systems. I told him I would check on the Director's avail-
ability on these dates and be back in touch with him.
3. (Confidential - JMM) James Lowenstein, Senate Foreign Relations
Committee staff, called to say he and Richard Moose would like an Agency
briefing Friday morning in preparation for their upcoming trip to Vietnam.
I said George Carver, who would be the logical one to meet them, would be
tied up Friday morning but available Friday afternoon. Lowenstein said they
could come out then, and at the same time would like to see Mr. Colby. He
explained that on this trip they would not go into the same matters they had
gone into on their last trip which caused some problems for the Agency (he
obviously was referring to their previous efforts to ascertain how the typical
station operates).
Later in the day Mr. Lowenstein called back to say the Committee had
vetoed the Vietnam trip. He indicated mystification as to the reasons.
Still later in the day, Mr. Lowenstein called back to say the trip was
on and that he and Mr. Moose would visit the Headquarters building at 2:30
on Friday, 19 May for a meeting with Mr. Colby and Mr. Carver.
4. (Unclassified - JMM) Called Bill Woodruff, Counsel, Senate
Appropriations Committee, to inquire about Chairman Ellender. He said
Ellender had merely had a recurrence of a previous ailment and was expected
back in the office shortly.

5. (Unclassified - JMM) Tom Korologos, White House staff, called
in response to my call to his office yesterday to ask about the status of
amendments to the Foreign Relations Authorization Act in which the White
House is interested. I said that we had been in touch with Charles Ablard,
General Counsel USIA, to try to get a date with Senator Howard Baker but
without success and Ablard had sent to Baker's Legislative Assistant Jim
Jordan the package of material concerning the "dissemination of information"
amendment which I had prepared. I said that since the
several other agencies affected by the amendment were taking no action I
didn't think it was wise for CIA to "step out front. " Therefore, I said as
far as we were concerned we would just as soon rely on the House, which
had passed a clean bill with provisions acceptable to us, to take care of our
interests in conference. Korologos agreed that this was the best course.
I asked Korologos where we stood on the "ten percent personnel
reduction" amendment. He said that Senator Henry Bellmon had complicated
matters by introducing an amendment providing an exemption only for the
Department of Agriculture. In response to Korologo's question, I said we
were in touch with Ed Braswell, Chief Counsel, Senate Armed Services
Committee, and thought Senator Stennis would go to bat for us. Korologos
seemed to think this was the best way of handling the "ten percent cut"
problem.
6. (Unclassified - JMM) Bill Woodruff, Counsel, Senate Appropriations
Committee, called to say Chairman Ellender had some photographic work he
would like us to do for him and asked if George Cary or I would stop by in the
next day or two.
7. (Confidential - JGO) Met with Mr. William Hogan, House Armed
Services Committee staff, who told me he has received no word from Chairman
Nedzi, of the Intelligence Subcommittee, or Mr. Frank Slatinshek, Chief
Counsel of the Committee, since Mr. Maury's conversation of Monday, 15 May,
with Slatinshek concerning publication of the transcript of 9 May. Mr. Hogan
will advise me as soon as he hears anything.

8. (Internal Use Only - LLM) Mr. Tom Moyer, in the General
Counsel's office of the Civil Service Commission, called in reference to
Mr. Fisher's letter of 18 April to Seymour Berlin with an analysis of the
implications of H. R. 3807 (Federal Executive Service) on Agency authorities,
and said they would work out a solution to our problems with both the Senate
and House Post Office and Civil Service Committees. He agreed to send the
language that would appear in the legislation as soon as it is worked out,
explaining that a number of other agencies were likewise affected.
