12. Discussed with Barbara Wadsworth, 25X1
Legislative Counsel in the office of Representative Jerry Litton (D. , Mo. ),
a letter from a constituent which she had forwarded to the Agency for
action. The writer requested Mr. Litton to look into the activities of one
"Bilderbergers" which was being investigated by Liberty Lobby, an organi-
zation in Washington, D. C. I explained to her that the matter was clearly
outside of the province of the Agency. She said she understood and had also
sent the letter to the FBI, but had not yet heard from them.
13. Called Jim Kronfeld, Staff Counsel, 25X1
House Government Operations Subcommittee on Foreign Operations and
Government Information, and informed him that we would go ahead and
L......-Oepare our floor amendment and colloquy on__LT,..a..6373, the right of
privacy bill. We discussed as to which member should make the floor
presentation. Kronfeld felt it best that it not be a member who is a strong
proponent of the Agency; rather, the member should be clearly identified as
a proponent of privacy legislation. I suggested Chairman Chet Holifield (D. , Cal.)
Subcommittee Chairman William S. Moorhead (D. , Pa.). The decision will be
made after the material is prepared.
14. Wilkey Donelson, OMB, called and asked 25X1
if we would be willing to raise with Chairman Teague, FIouse Science and
Astronautics Committee, the interest of the Subcommittee on Space Sciences
.and Applications in satellite photography and determine Teague's desires on
how to handle the matter. I told Donelson I would take this up with Carl
Duckett and be back in touch with him.
15. Called Senator Claiborne Pell to follow up 25X1
on several items from our briefing yesterday. I reminded him that while we

8. , Met with Chairman Lucien Nedzi, Special 25X1
Subcommittee on Intelligence, House Armed Services Committee, and
briefed him on the 19 September 1974
Although we discussed various
aspects of
the action requested, Chairman Nedzi had no question on the project. I
emphasized that is the fulfillment of a moral obligation and a first instance
of advising him before action has been taken. This completes the briefing
of our four Committees. No objection was raised by any of the Committee
representatives.
I discussed also with Chairman Nedzi the Educational Aid Fund,
some of its background and funding approaches that have been used for the
Fund. Chairman Nedzi said that he would not advocate the recent change
with regard to corporate gifts but that he can well understand and agrees
with it.
Discussed very briefly with him the current problems before the
Committee as a result of the Harrington letter publication, but did not
learn anything new with regard to possible courses of action to be followed
by the Committee in the matter.
In closing, he inquired as to the current status of a sensitive
project. I told him that I would talk to Carl Duckett, DDS&T, about it
and be back in touch with him.
9. Mr. Dan Sullivan, Special Assistant in the
district office of Senator Lowell P. Weicker (R. , Conn.), called on behalf
of a constituent who manufactures carbines and asked if we would want to
purchase any. After calling Logistics, called Sullivan back
and informed him that we had no interest.
10. Met with Nancy Tuck in the office of
Representative John Breckinridge (D., Ky. ) and left with her an unclassified
paper prepared by the DDI on the recent Soviet maneuvers "Dvina." She
clearly understood that the material would be used in their reply to the
constituent with no attribution to the Agency.
11. Called Mrs. Martha Doty, Clerk, House
Government Operations Subcommittee on Foreign Operations and Government
Information, and advised her that the galley proofs of the testimony of
and others before the Subcommittee on the Agency's use of
the polygraph had been completed, and that they would be delivered in
the morning.
