met with Representative Dante Fascell (D. , Fla. ) concerning the
Comptroller General's letter to the Director of 9 September 1975 requesting
"any and all information possessed by the Agency on the Maya uez incident
and other documents. " It was explained that in the interest: of limiting
the unnecessary proliferation of sensitive Agency information, we have
for more than a quarter of a century preferred to deal directly with
the committees rather than with them through the GAO and that we thought
that any change in the method of operation should await the findings of the
Select Committees who obviously will be faced with the problem of which
institutions or committees of Congress should be provided access to the
various types of information possessed by the Agency. Mr. Fascell was
understanding of our position, was of a disposition to call off the GAO
in this instance, at least until the issue is resolved, and in general said
he was supportive of GAO assuming a greater role in support of the
Congress. Mr. Fascell will talk to GAO and will then advise us of his
decision.
