Counsel, Special Subcommittee on Intelligence, House Armed Services
Committee, who told me that a question had been raised concerning the
Director's participation on Friday in a conference on the CIA and covert
actions. I told him that I would get up to him as early as possible tomorrow
morning a copy of the Director's prepared text, together with an outline of
the activities of the National Security Project of the Fund for Peace. Hoga X1A

6 discuss a court review of the propriety of the classification of information
6. Called Paul Summitt, Chief Counsel,
Subcommittee on Criminaj. Laws and Procedures, Senate Judiciary Committee.
I explained that we understood Senators John L. McClellan (D. , Ark.) and
Roman L. Hruska (R., Neb.) were soon to meet with the Attorney General
in the section on unauthorized disclosures in the proposed codification of
the cr mfinal laws and that I wanted to clarify the Agency's position on
court review should it come up. Sumrrmitt stated that procedures for
court review are being considered and he offered to provide us a copy of
their latest proposal. Sur.nmitt did not feel that we would be affected by the
provision. He considered it illusory since the defendant could cause a court
review of classification or..ly if he could first show that he exhausted his
administrative remedies requesting public release of the information through
established authorized channels.
