1. (Internal Use Only - REH) Had a luncheon for. Mike Reed,

Discussion was on general subjects of interest to the Agency, followed,
by a briefing for Mr. Reed on Panama.

2. Confidential - LLM) Accompanied and
to a briefing of John Ford and Ted Lunger, House Armed
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 I 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, the Murphy
Commission report, and S. 1 (Criminal Code revision).
4. (Internal Use Only - DFM) Called Tom Moyer, Office of General
Counsel, Q ;1 P vice Comm;ssi. 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 tol 25X1
OGC, for information on the Agency's compliancewith this Executive Order.

17. (Confidential - GLC) Received a call. from Jack Marsh,
Counsellor to the President for Legislative Affairs, who said that
Representative George H. Mahon (D., Tex.) had contacted the White House
and expressed opposition to the Agency's appointment of as 25X1
special counsel. Marsh was interested in my reaction to E: I
a on s a titude
and asked whether anyone had alerted the White 1-louse on this matter in
advance. I gave Marsh my rationale for Mr. Mahon's position, which is
based on pressure I believe he is receiving from certain members of the
Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, and I advised him that the matter of 25X1
a special counsel had been discussed in advance with Philip Buchen, Counsel
to the President, and John Morrison had talked with Buchen this morning
about the selection of and Buchen had indicated he thought
was a good choice. Marsh thanked me for this information. He said this
was probably a matter that would receive the attention of the President.
18. (Confidential - GLC) Mr. Duckett called to advise me of the
contact made with him by General Don Johnson, Director, Defense Nuclear
A enc concerning Duckett's testimony before Senator William .: roxma.r 's
Wig.) Appropriations Subcommittee regarding the Soyuz/Apollo flight.
General Johnson told Duckett that he was in agreement with Duckett's
statement as released by Senator Proxmire and that he
intends to contact George Lowe, Deputy Director of NASA about the danger
of proceeding with the flight while the present Soviet spacecraft is in orbit.
Mr. Duckett merely wanted to alert me to these facts.
19. (Confidential - LLM) Emerson Brown, INR, State, called in
connection with a request they had received from the Senate Foreign Relations
Subcommittee on Multinational ' Corporations, for information on. political
payments in Korea by Gulf Oil Corporation. Brown said that the responsible
State official wanted to know what information the Agency possessed and said
he had been told by Agency officials that they would not respond without a
written request from State. In response to my question, Brown. said the
Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Multinational Corporations' request
was limited to State information and on that basis, I recommended that State's
response be limited to that request, explaining that we had met with the
Subcommittee staff on this subject; that as a matter of policy, we prefer to
deal directly with the requester and the Subcommittee is aware that U. S.
corporations are outside of our general charter and any substantial information
we have incidentally collected is referred to the appropriate departments or
agencies. Brown agreed with our approach and felt that the State official
was b eing too assertive I lalso advised.

21. (Internal Use Only - LLM) Called Tim Ingram, Staff
Director of Representative Bella S. Abzug's (D., N. Y.) House
Government Operations Subcommittee on Government Information and
Individual Rights, and told him that while we are working on. their request
concerning prosecution under the 1954 agreement we cannot
meet the deadline on 3 July imposed in Ingram's le er, an a seemed to
be understanding. We discussed generally the various categories of cases
covered by the 1954 agreement and I stressed to him. that that agreement
appeared to apply to possible criminal actions by Agency employees in
their private capacity, not in their official capacity as implied from the
wording of Ingram's letter. Ingram said he was consolidating a list of
follow-up items from the transcript and correlating them to page numbers
in the transcript and that he would be submitting additional questions. I
told him I would be on leave next week and that be should be in contact
with Mr. Cary regarding the prosecution issue. In an earlier meeting
with Messrs. OGC, Mr. Cary and myself, it was
agreed that would review with Mr. Wilderotter, Whita House, and
Mr. Moroney, of Justice, on the restraints they see in responding to these
requests concerning the 1954 agreement. (Mr. Moroney is scheduled to
see Ingram next Tuesday in preparation for his appearance before the
Subcommittee on Thursday.')
