ADDENDUM TO JOURNAL
OFFICE OF LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL
CIA INTERNAL USE ONLY
Friday - 6 September 1974
1. (Internal Use Only - SWH) Called Gary Sellers, Senate
Appropriations Committee staff, to request clarification of a number of
items on the Committee's 11 June 1974 listing of materials supplied by
the Committee to the Special Prosecutor. Sellers indicated he would
check on these items and get back to us. Later I took to Sellers a draft
letter from the Committee to Frank H. Strickler, Esq. , attorney for
Haldeman, which was drafted by General Counsel and was to be in
response to the subpoena on the Committee. I reiterated that the
Agency's preference was for Strickler to review the subpoenaed material
at the Agency but that if Strickler was opposed to this we would be willing
to take the material in a sanitized form to Strickler's office for his review.
Sellers was inclined, however, for what he felt to be a necessary
accommodation to offer to Strickler a review of the documents at
Strickler's office.
2. (Internal Use Only - SWH) Called Jim Davidson, Senate
Government Operations Committee staff, to inform him of our progress
on preparing a letter for the Committee on the latest draft o.f S_ 347
(Committee Print No. 5). Davidson said he did not expect any floor action
until late next week at the earliest. I discussed with him our suggested
exemption which will specifically exempt the Agency from certain sections
of the bill and also provided that no other section of the bill shall be
construed so as to impair or affect the Director's statutory authority.
Davidson liked this approach. Also, I did not indicate to him what and how
many sections we would be requesting exemptions from. Davidson requested
that we include in out letter an explanation why the CIA required unique
considerations regarding this bill. Our letter includes sucj, language.
