Jim Calloway, Counsel, Senate Appropria-
tions Committee, called to say that Nate Miller, of their staff, was preparing
a statement for the Chairman indicating that recent disclosures had vindicated
the Agency's position and testimony with respect to its alleged involvement
in Watergate matters. Calloway said that Miller would like to talk with me
to check on some of the facts and I agreed to give Miller a call. I was unable
to reach him today but left a message for him to call me tomorrow.
13. Received a call from Fred Thompson, 25X1
on
Senator Baker's Watergate Committee Minority staff. Thompson said they
are preparing their records for referral to the Library of Congress for
storage and would like to talk to us about limiting access to the Agency m
material involved. I said tha bor I would be in touch with him25X1
within the next few days. IL-said there was no rush.
14. 25X1

15. Called Maurice Pujol, on the staff of Senator
Proxmire's Subcommittee on Housing and Urban Development, Space, Science,
and Veterans, Appropriations Committee, to discuss Proxmire's letter of
30 July asking that we brief the Subcommittee on the Soviet space program.
Pujol said he knew absolutely nothing about the letter and assumed that it was
written by Ron Tammen, Legislative Assistant to Senator Proxmire. He
suggested that I call Tammen and tell him that Pujol knew nothing about it
and recommended that I call him. I briefed Pujol on some of the ground rules
that would be necessary for such a briefing and he said he could understand
the reasons for them, but that I would have to take the matter up with Tammen
at this point.
~,,// I also gave Pujol a fillin on our concern about section 406 of the HUD
/appropriations bill (H. R. 15572). Pujol said this section was Ron Tammen's
idea and had been drafted by him. He said he was sure the HUD, NASA, and
other witnesses who had testified on the bill had no idea that Proxmire would
place such a broad prohibition in the bill.
