OFFICE OF LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL
Wednesday - 26 September 1973
1. (Confidential - SGO) Delivered to Frank Slatinshek, Chief Counsel,
I-iouse Armed Services Committee, a seL- of~draft legislative items relating
to ossible, amendments of the National Security Act with re,~ard to CIA
domestic operations. In brief, Slatinshek thought the proposals were quite
good but noted they made na provision for one point that has bothered
Chairman Nedzi, Intelligence Subcommittee, considerably and thaL? is Agency
conduct of official business with former employees. After considerable
discussion Slatinshek agreed that it is probably not one for legislative
treatment but that we should keep it on the back burner because he is quite
cerrtain Chairman Nedzi will be raising it with us in the future.
2. (Confidential - J'GO) Met with Marian Czarnecki, Chief of Staff,
douse Foreign Affairs Gomrnittee, and discussed with him the informal
request for Agency briefing on Chile. I told hirn that we would be pleased
to brief the Committee on the current intelligence situation in Chile and
would have no hesitancy in responding to a question concerning Agency
involvement in the coup that there was no involvement. However, we are
unable to brief or discuss Agency operations in Chile. Czarnecki told me
he will be meeting later in the day with Chairman Morgan, of the full
C;omrnittee, and Chairman Fascell, of the Inter-American Affairs Subcarnmittee,
Although he was not able to commit the two Chairmen, it is his opinion that
this will provide a satisfactory formula.
3. (Confidential - SGO) Met with Mike Finley, Inter-American
Affairs Subcommittee staff, House Foreign Affairs Committee, who told me
that in the briefing yesterday afternoon Assistant Secretary of State Kubisch
had responded to several questions concerning United States and CIA involve-
ment in the Chilean coup generally denying any such involvement. He will
try to make 'a copy of the transcript available on a confidential basis
?tomorrow morning.

4. (Confidential - JGO) Met with George Berdes, National
Security Policy and Scientific Developments Subcommittee staff, T-rouse
Foreign Affairs Committee, who told me that Chairman Zablocki had met
duxing the week with Ambassador at Large U. Alexis Johnson and with
Director Fred Ikle, U. S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency. The
yneetings were most satisfactory. He doesn't see anything further until
responses from our allies are received on MBFR. In consequence, he
does not expect that Chairman Zablocki will be expecting briefings at this 25X1A
time from Carl Duckett, DD5&T. See Journal of 19 September 1973.

OGC, and DD/Sec, made an appointment for 2:00 p. rn.
