12. I I LEGISL/.'I'ION Called Paul Hoff,
staff member of the Senate Committee on Government Operations, to
inquire about that Committee's timetable for consideration of Agency
matters, such as S. 653 which would authorize GAO audits of the Agency,
and the general questions of congressional oversight. Hoff said hearings
are planned, but the time and scope of the hearings have not yet been
determined. However, he thought that December might be a. good guess.
We also discussed the lobbying legislation before the Committee and
Hoff offered that the Committee's legislation would likely be much
narrower than that originally offered. He said the Committee would
need the Agency's full cooperation for their hearings, and said he would
be back in touch with me as things begin to take shape.
13. I I LIAISON During the day talked
with Tom Sullivan and Tim Ingrain, Minority Counsel and Staff Director,
Subcommittee on Government Information and Individual Rights, I-louse
Government Operations Committee, on the status of the Agency's response
to the Subcommittee request concerning the case.
House International Relations Committee staff, and provided him com_n-ients
relating to the authenticity of a document purported to have been written
for President Marcos of the Philippines,- This satisfied Boyer's interests
and he asked if I could prepare for him a short, blind memo for the
Committee' s record. This item had originally been raised by Representative
Antonio B. Won Pat (D. , Guam), with Chairman Thomas Morgan (D., Pa. ).
14. 1 LIAISON Called Bob Boyer,
15. I I LIAISON Called Representative Sam
Steiger at his district office in Arizona concerning a response to the
Subcommittee on Government Information and Individual Rights, House
Government Operations Committee, with respect to documents relating
to the case and he felt our approach was reasonable and
responsible and suggested that I call the Ranking Minority Member of
the full Committee, Representative Frank Horton (R. , N. Y. ), to apprise
him of the developments and to mention that I was doing this with
Mr. Steiger's recommendation.
