OFFICE OF LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL
Wednesday - 8 August 1973
(Internal Use Only - JGO) In response to a call from George
EUR Division, I talked to George Norris, Counsel,
House Armed Services Committee, and verified the address of
2. (Internal Use Only - JGO) Received a call from Bob ORegan,
Staff Assistant to Representative Dante Fascell (D. , Fla. ). Representative
Fascell had asked him to call to see whether the Agency could suggest any
procedures that could be utilized to authorize benefits for a former military
officer to compensate him for a period of imprisonment under a sentence
which was later reversed. I told O'Regan there are no such procedures or
reimbursements available. The Missing Persons Act is the sole authority
for payment to individuals imprisoned in foreign areas. A private claim
bill in the Congress would be a possibility but of the several that have been
proposed since World War II, I know of none that have received serious
consideration in the House of Representatives.
3. (Internal.Use Only - JMM) Called Douglas Sinclair, Assistant
Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) staff, and told him of plans for Representa-
tive William E. Minshall`s (L, Ohio) visit to WH stations. He will alert the
attaches, cautioning them of Minshall's desire to keep a low profile: and avoid
formal functions.
4,. (Internal Use Only - JMM) Talked to Representative William
Minshall, now vacationing in Lake Erie who says he may move up his departure
on his WH trip to 16 or 17 August. He will let us know by the 13th.

10. (Unclassified - GLC) Called John Goldsmith, Staff Member,
Senate Armed Services, and offered to go over with him our corrections
on those portions of Mr. Colby's testimony of 25 July before the Com-
mittee that he had asked about. Goldsmith said that at this point in
time, it looked like he would not need this information and unless he
called he would wait until we submitted the entire sanitized transcript.
11. (Internal Use Only - PLC) Attended a briefing given Representative
Benjamin Blackburn (R., Ga.) by OER. The 25X1
briefing covered problems Weste s e in aoing uslness with the
Soviets.
12. (Confidential - JGO) OGC, and I met with
Robert Gilliat, who is sitting for ran ar-imo, Assistant General Counsel,
Manpower; Miss Carole Frings, Office of the General Counsel; and "Red"
Morrison, Chief of Manpower, DOD, and reviewed with them the request from
Senator Symington, Acting Chairman, Senate Armed Services Committee,
for information concerning the numbers of officers assigned outside the Depart-
ment of Defense for duty. See Memorandum for the Record.
13. (Unclassified - PLC) Stan Nissel, office of General Counsel,
Department of Defense, called and offered to send a copy of the draft
Administration proposal establishing uniform policies and procedures for
the procurement of services and goods for Federal a
the draft be sent to this office. I subsequently cal,edrnr
General Counsel, OL, and alerted him that I would be sending him the draft
for his review.
14. (Secret - LLM) Called Walter Evans, Legal Counsel; in the
office of Senator Mark Hatfield (R., Oreg.), advising him that the Company
(he would understand this to be Air America) would be making a payment
I added that we did not want Senator
a ie an epresen a ive e en ack to be caught unaware and that it
was hoped that there would be no publicity concerning the payment. I
offered a briefing on the details if he believed it would be necessary.
Evans appreciated the alert and said they would not publicize the payment
just as they had held on the previous information supplied them. He also
said that he would call Ed Jacobson, Press Assistant in Representative
John Dellenback's office, to insure that they would be in lock step on this.
Evans said they might desire to write a letter to the family, which 1: said
was understandable.
