Special Assistant to the President, to advise that he had just called Mr. Colby
as Chairman John C. Stennis (D. , Miss.) wanted to know the Agency's
position before he joined as a co-sponsor and/or signatory of the "Dear
Colleague" letter supporting the President's veto of the Freedom of Information
Act. It should be easy to refresh the Chairman on the Agency's pose i.on
since he took an active part against the Muskie amendment based upon
information supplied by the Agency.
Referencing our several recent conversations on this subject, O'Donnell
asked if we would be able to touch base with Senators Henry Jackson (D. , Wash. );
James McClure (R., Idaho); Gale McGee (D., Wyo.); Hiram Fong (R., Hawaii),
and Robert Taft (R. , Ohio) in connection with the effort to sustain the
President's veto. I told`O'Donnell we will see what we can do to help out
but our definite preference is to limit our activities 'to the membership of 25X1
our committees.
