28. ) LIAISON Called Les Janka, NSC
staff, explaining that Mr. Colby was out of the city and that the word. I
had gotten was that the Executive Branch was not going to agree to any
sanitization of the transcript of 11 February 1975 before the Arms Control
Subcommittee of Senate Armed Services Committee and that I wanted to
make sure that this had been thought through in the context of the existing
similar issues between the Executive Branch and the Congress, i. e.,
the House Select Committee, the Subcommittee on Oversight & Investigations,
House Inters a e an orczgn Commerce Committee, and that it would scene
to be preferable to respond to Senator Jackson with the Executive Branch' s
requirements for deletions before the transcript is made public. I said
that this might require someone external to the Agency to present, if
necessary, the merits of exclusion on foreign policy or other grounds not
related to intelligence sources and methods.
