ADDENDUM TO'JOURNAL
OFFICE OF LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL
Wednesday - 30 July 1975
CIA INTERNAL USE ONLY
1. (Internal Use Only - KKH) Clara Buchanan, on the staff of the
r,E, Pnra; .., mrnit's>_ called requesting a copy of the People's
Rep China atlas for Senator Claiborne Pell (D., R.I.. ). After checking
25X1A with I sent one to her by courier.
2. (Internal Use Only - RJK) Met with Representative Larry Winn, Jr
(R., Kans.), Ranking Minority Member of the House International Relations
Subcommittee on International, Political and Military Affairs; Don Holstine,
of the Subcommittee staff and Tom Smeeton, Minority staff, at their request,
to discuss the possible Agency or intelligence role in the. Mayaguez incident.
Representative Winn said that testimony which the Subcommittee had received
so far was fairly conclusive that the Mayaguez had no intelligence mission;
whatsoever. He said there are some questions with respect to radio frequencies
used and the nature of the equipment on board the ship. I indicated that l
was not sure the Agency could respond to these two areas. It appears that
what the Congressman is interested in receiving from the Agency is. a statement
that the Mayaguez was not performing any intelligence mission.
The staff members advised me that GAO is also investigating the inci-
dent and has indicated that the Agency might be able to "clarify" things if
the National Security Counsel will permit it.. I told Representative Win's that
I would relay his questions to my superiors and I suggested that our response
be made to Tom Smeeton.
3. (Internal Use Only - RJK) Met with Charles Snodgrass, Defense
Subcommittee staff, House Appropriations Committee, and discussed with. him.
the procedure for retaining the stenographic notes of the Director's testimony
before the Subcommittee on 29 July. Snodgrass indicated that Mr. Preston,
of the staff, was in agreement with our proposal to seal the notes in an envelope
which has a covering note stating that the contents should not be opened-or
transcribed without the express approval of the Defense Subcommittee and the
Legislative Counsel. He initialed the envelope, I did the same and returned the-
enveloped to Headquarters for safe-keeping. .
4. (Confidential - RJK) Met with George Ashworth, Senate_ 9reig.n;
RelatTr.nG r,~?-?--staff, who requested tha.t the Agency clarify, if possible,

Individual Rights, House Government Operations Committee, called to say
that during his testimony today, Mr. Cole, of the U. S. Attorney's office,
had been adamant about the statements made by of OGC,
regarding the case. Ingram feels that there are
significant discrepancies between statements and the testimony
of other witnesses (he commented that even Peterson, who works for Kevin
Maroney, disputed some of h1aroney's testimony) and these discrepancies
can only be resolved by having -appear before 'the Subcommittee on
Thursday at 9:00 a. m. I told Ingram I would talk with our General Counsel

if we were interested in having this Puerto Rican's story printed in a foreign
language (especially Spanish) they would be happy to entertain our sugges-
tions to this effect. I told him we would pick up a copy of this statement
and take a look at it and subsequently let hiniknow. /
