17. Met with Clark McFadden, General Counsel, Senate

on this.

19.
Met with Jim Kronfeld, Staff Counsel,
Subcommittee on Foreign Operations and Government Information, House
GOvernment Operations Committee, and discussed the final draft of the conference
report for,H. R. 12471, Freedom of Information Act amendment. Kronfeld said
that the conferees could not include the detailed court review procedures for
in camera inspection of classified information within the bill as it was in the
version reported by the Senate Judiciary Committee. The rules of the Congress
prevented this since the procedures were not in the versions of the bill as
passed by both houses. The conferees did, however, include legislative history
to emphasize that the courts should give proper recognition to affidavits submitted
by agency heads. Also included is the legislative history which we had proposed
covering Intelligence Sources and Methods, Restricted Data, and Comint, which
states that this information is protected by statute and comes under exemption
(b)(3) of the Freedom of Information Act, and as such is "born classified. "
Kronfeld also gave me a copy of H. R. 16373, the right of privacy bill, as
amended and reported out by his Subcommittee yesterday. Kronfeld felt
that the Agency was given an adequate exemption from any provisions which
would present problems. I asked that we be given an opportunity to review
the amended bill since we do have problems with it as introduced. He urged
that we move as quickly as possible since the bill is being considered by the
full Committee this Thursday, 19 September.
20. Delivered to Bill Hogan, Counsel, House
Armed Services Committee, the transcript from the bi-weekly briefing of
the Special Subcommittee on Intelligence on 16 September 1974.

and discussed his planned staff study on the Vencerernos Brigade based on

22. Received a call from Mrs. Eddymarie
