8. (1 1 Called Bill Skidmore, OMB, and reviewed
with him the Committee deadlines for our reports on S. 1726, S. 2451, S. 3393,
S. 3399, and H. R. 12004, which establish a program of classification iff
Government. Skidmore assured me that he was under the same deadlines and
our reports should be cleared in sufficient time.
9. Received a call from Pat Donat, in the
office of Senator Charles H. Percy (R., Ill.). requesting the telephone exten-
sion of I called to see if there was any reason
her number shoul not be given out and when there wasn't, called Ms. Donat
back and provided her with the information.
10. (1 1 Met with Dorothy Fosdick, Permanent
Subcommittee on Investigations, Senate Government Operations Committee
staff, and delivered to her two copies of the classified paper, "Party
Secretary Ponomarev Leads Soviet Delegation to U. S. " and unclassified
biographies of the Soviet parlamentarian delegation.
11.1 11 Met with Ralph Preston, House Appropriations
Committee staff, and delivered the 16 May 1974 Reserve withdrawal letter.
Preston remembered the program and had no comments or questions.
I gave him also an outline of North and South Korean forces for
Representative William E. Minshall (R. , Ohio). This is in response to
the Representative's question during the Director's briefing for Agency
assessment of the consequences of a withdrawal of U. S. troops from South
Korea.
12. In the absence of Frank Slatinshek, Chief
Counsel, House Armed Services Committee, for the day, I left a copy of
the paper, "Party Secretary Ponomarev Leads Soviet Delegation to U. S. "
and the unclassified paper, "Freedom of Religion in North and South Vietnam,"
which he had requested. I also left a copy of the letter of 3 May 1974 from
Representative Les Aspin (D. , Wis.) to the Director for his review.
