Government Operations Committee, called to alert me that the Committee
had invited Mr. Colby to testify before the Committee on the subject of
congressional oversight during the week of either 19 or 26 January 1976. He

testimony and asked that I be back in touch with him regarding what. day would
be best for the Director. He also said it was his understanding that the

not to duplicate the work of the Government Op'erations Committee.

CONSTITUENT After discussion with
OGC, I called Emily Thurber, mail assistant, of Senator
Alan Cranston's (D., California) office. I advised Ms. Thurber that
the constituent letter concerning the Glomar Explorer was more probably
the action of the Department of justice. She explained she did not know
what to do with the diTginal letter, but now understood that Justice should
handle the inquiry. She asked that we refer the letter to Justice for
action. Accordingly, a copy of the original letter was given to
for passage to John J. McCarthy, Chief of the Litigation Section of the
Tax Division, Department of Justice.
2. BRIEFING Called Clark McFadden,
Counsel, Senate Armed Services Committee, and confirmed Monday,
8 December at 10:00 a.m. for him to come out and have a briefing by
Carl Duckett, DDS&T. It was later arranged that McFadden would have
another briefing on 11:00 a. m. and possibly stay for
lunch. Mr. Duckett and CCI, have been advised.

Defense Subcommittee, House Appropriations Committee staff, called
and said that there had been a change in plans and now the Subcommittee
still wanted to have a briefing on covert action but would take a Deputy
in place of Mr. Colby. I told Snodgrass I would have to relay this to
the Director and be back in touch.
