Tuesday - 8 July 1975
2. (Unclassified - DFM) In response to her call to Mr. Cary, picked
up from Dorothy Fosdick, Senate Government Operations Permanent
Subcommittee on Investigations staff, a resume and letter of recommendation
for a personal friend of Senator Henry M. Jackson (D., Wash.) who is
interested in Agency employment.
3. (Unclassified - DFM) Picked up from Carol Weeks, on the staff
of the Senate Select Committee investigating the Agency, a copy of the
transcript of the Committee's 20 June 1975 hearing.
4. (Internal Use Only - DFM) Sat in on a news conference of
Representative Michael Harrington (D., Mass.) regarding the House Armed
Services Committee action to deny him access to the Committee's classified
information. Harrington's thesis is that this action, which coincided with
the full House action on Representative Lucien N. Nedzi's resignation from
the House Select Committee, is part of a plot to abolish the Select Committee.
Mr. Harrington outlined the steps he has taken to protest the Armed Services
Committee action.
5. (Unclassified - DFM) Picked up from Tom Smeeton, House
International Relations Committee staff, several copies of the Murphy
Commission Report.
6. (Internal Use Only - RJK) Called Jim Gehrig, Senate Aeronau-
tical and Space Sciences Committee staff, to advise him that security approvall,
for compartmented clearances for Gilbert Keyes has been granted. Gehrig
asked _,that we give Keyes a call when we come to the Hill to sign him up.

Thursday - 3 July 1975
onfidential - LLM) Accompanie and 25x1
o a briefing of John Ford and Ted Lunger, House Armed 25x1
Services Committee staff, in preparation for the travel to Somalia of the
congressional delegation from the House Armed Services Committee.
Ford and Lunger found the briefing exceedingly helpful and a number of
topics were treated which apparently had not been included in the numerous
briefings they have received from DOD and DIA.
3. (Internal Use Only - LLM) Called Arnie Donahue, OMB, to
determine the status of OMB clearance of the proposed intelligence sources
and methods legislation, reminding him that the due date for departmental
and agency responses to OMB was probably in late May, although ]: acknow-
ledged that the USIB meeting on this subject may have been responsible for
some delay. It was Donahue's opinion that the Executive branch position
would be jelled within the next month, and would involve consideration of
recommendations in the Rockefeller Commission report, Mnrnhr
Cr n report, and S. 1 (Criminal Code revision).
4. (Internal Use Only - DFM) Called Tom Moyer, Office of General
Counsel, Civil Service Commission, regarding the numerous bills requiring
financial disclosure by Federal employees. Moyer referred me to Dave
Reich. Reich said he was unaware that the Commission was writing comments
on these bills and therefore apparently they did not feel they were high priority.
When I sketched out an outline of my proposed letter he suggested I include
remarks about E. O. 11222, which now requires a much more limited
statement by certain Federal employees. He referred me to
OGC, for information on the Agency's compliancewith this Executive Order,..

called to report that asked
Assistant Secretary i ib (Bur East A nd a c
Affairs) State Department during the session of the Subcommittee
Foreign Operations, House Appropriations Committee, to check to
determine why he had been cut off from distribution of an Agency publication
dealing with Communist trade activities with less developed countries.
After checking wit OCI, I learned that this series, cl.a.ssifie"Cl.
secret, is turned into an unclassified report once a year and since we have
no record of having provided it to Mr. Chappell, it probably was forwarded
by State. will close this out with Mr. Brown. 25x1
I discussed with Brown the pending Intelligence Sources and Methods
legislation and it was his opinion that the USIB session had not served th.e
purpose we originally had hoped to attain. Interestingly, as a. result of 25X1
our education on this issue, State is now thinking of separate legislation
to take care of their problem which would not be covered by the Director's
proposal.
12. (Secret - LLM) Spoke with Representative Paul Sarbanes
(D. , Md.) and closed out a follow up item from the Director's session on
Wednesday, 25 ,June,. He was very appreciative of our follow up.
13. (Unclassified - LLM) In response to a call from Charles
Snodgrass, House Appropriations Committee staff, I told him. where he
could get a copy of the- "rr~tr (ommi ssi nn 'Rennrf and if that did, not
work, I would find him a copy. I also promised to supply him a transcript
of Mr. Colby's "Meet the Press" appearance last Sunday.
14. (Internal Use Only -- LLM) Called Bill Hogan, House Armed
Services Committee staff, and asked if he would be kind enough to review
Committee records to determine if Director of Central Intelligence IIillenkoett:er
had indeed' testified on 8 April 1948 on H. R. 5871, the Central Intelligence
Agency Act of 1949. He said he would do this.
