9. (Unclassified -II Chairman Nedzi, Special Subcommittee
on Intelligence, House Armed Services Committee, called to say that he
had been contacted by Patrick Sloyan, of the Hearst News Service regarding
the memorandum which Senator Symington, Acting Chairman, Armed Services
Committee, released today. I explained to Nedzi that the memorandum
Symington released today is not the letter of 5 November which was identical
to the one Nedzi received. Rather it is a memorandum dated 6 November
which Symington requested yesterday covering the reasons why Mr. Helms
did not want interviewed and what Helms meant in the
second paragraph of the 28 June 1972 memorandum. I told Nedzi that
I Iwas on his way to see him to give him a copy of the 6 November
memorandum and I then read the memorandum to Nedzi over the phone.
N'edzi was somewhat confused by separate references to a 19 June
1972 memorandum and 19 June 1972 minutes of a meeting of that date. I
told him this was one and the same document which I was sure was part of
the Committee record, but I would check on this and either or I 25X1
would be back in touch with him.
10. (Unclassified In the absence of Representative William
Minshall (R. , Ohio) I left wor with Carol, in his office, that Mr. Friedersdorf,
in_the White un,mae, had asked me to pass word to him that the Administration
was very anxious for his support on the War Powers bill. I said I Was doing
this as a personal favor to Friedersdorf and not in my Agency role since
the Agency took care not to get involved in policy matters of this kind.
11. (Unclassified -Placed a call to Dave Dorsen, Senator
Ervin's Watergate Committee, to be sure that he was not caught unaware
on Mr. Colby's letter to Acting Chairman Symington, Senate Armed Services
Committee, on the 28 June 1972 memorandum. Dorsen was in hearings and
I left a message for him to call.
