5. Met with Frank Slatinshek, Chief Counsel,
House Armed Services Committee, and talked with him at some length about
tie-Proxmire amendments to the National Security Act as contained in the
passed by the Senate. Slatinshe saia now
appeared quite likely that the House conferees would insist on striking the
entire Proxmire amendment on the question of germaneness. I said the Director
was in favor of including the Proxmire amendment so long as the question of
our domestic activities was covered by some language in the conference
report. I told Slatinshek we did not want to get in between the Senate and
House Committees on this issue but I said I understood Senator Stennis planned
to take a very strong position to keep the Proxmire amendment in the bill.
I told him we were preparing some material for the Senate staff on support
structures in the U. S. and on the issue of the Proxmire prohibition against
the Agency's doing anything that is illegal. Slatinshek said if the Proxmire
amendment was left in the bill they (the House members) would support our
positions. I told Slatinshek that I Iwould leave him a copy of the 25X1
material we were giving to the Senate staffers this afternoon.
I left with Slatinshek a copy of the Marchetti/Marks book "The CIA
and the Cult of Intelligence. "
6. I met very briefly with Ed Braswell, Chief
Counsel, Senate Armed Services Committee, and left him a copy of the
material we had prepared in response to his request for backup material
for the Committee's use in dealing with to the
~/T;7itarcr Prnr>remPnt 7,;77 - I told Braswell to let us know if anyt mg urther
was needed.
I left a copy of the Marchetti/Marks book with Braswell.
7. Met with Guy McConnell, Senate Appropriations
Committee staff, and left with him a copy of the list of topics covered in the
current intelligence briefing on Monday. I also left with him a copy of the
Marchetti/Marks book and brought him up-to-date on developments concerning
