Stevenson that we did not have anything on an unclassified basis that would
undercut the thrust of Senator Dewey Bartlett's (R. , Okla..) and Representative

Soviet activity there, if anything it indicated more of the same. I told him
we would be happy to come up and discuss the, matter directly with the Senator,

13. LIAISON Charles Lombard, Senate
Aeronautical and Space Sciences Committee staff, called with three items
on his mind. He wanted to know if we had seen Senator Barry Goldwater's
remarks on the floor of the Senate about the Director's dismissal and the
need for continued Select Committee investigations. I told him we had
indeed seen them and forwarded them to the Director,. Secondly, Lombard
asked if we were aware of any newspaper clippings which would support
the argument that the proceed.ingsof the Select Committees we
the Agency's operations abroad. I suggested he raise this withi
Review Staff. Thirdly, Lombard sail
of the Senate Select Committee, is interested in a position with the Agency
when the current investigations are completed and asked if I could check 25X1A
on the possibilities for him. I suggested to Lombard that he send me a
resume on which he said he would do.
25X1A Stimpson, OMB, regarding his suggestions to that we make
certain changes in our prepared statement before the Senate Judiciary
Subcommittee on Administrative Practice and Procedure tomorrow. I
told Stimpson that the statement was completed and ready to go to the
Subcommittee and I felt we had adequately covered the points which he raised
in slightly different words. After going over these items individually,
Stimpson agreed but made it clear that we should not take a position with
the Subcommittee . which would be construed as support for chairman Edward M.
Kennedy's (D. , Mass.) bill, S. 2515.

very hard to declassify several, documents including IG reports which -ire felt
