of John O. Marsh, Counsellor to the President, to alert him to the status
of our dealings with the NSC staff on the Director's testimony on SALT
for Senator Henry Jackson' s (D, , Wash.) Arms Control Subcommittee of
Senate Armed Services. Rourke asked that we let him know when the
transcript goes to Armed Services. Later in the day, I told him that the
transcripts had gone and we had gotten some feedback from Richard Perle,
of Senator Jackson's office, and we would be dealing with him regarding the
deletions. I also mentioned that we were in close touch with Les Janka,
of the NSC staff, on this.

9. (Unclassified - DFM) LEGISLATION George Gilbert, OM.B, called
regarding the Agency's position regarding H. R. 1311. Gilbert said he was
reluctant to take any action at all on this bill and had asked a Justice Department
friend to find out if the bill was going to move. If there is no indication of
action, Gilbert wants to hold all the responses and lay low. If the Committee
will take up the bill, Gilbert will draft a response which suggests an amendment
to sections 2 and 3 of the bill. This is the substance of our suggestion, although
his modifications are not exactly the ones we suggested. He promisee" to
let me know what word he gets on the status of the bill.

met with Representative Dante Fascell (D. , Fla. ) concerning `rFic
Page 2
Comptroller General's letter to the Director of 9 September_ 1975 requesting
"any and all information possessed by the Agency on the Mayaguezi.ncidr--ent
and other documents. It 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. Fasceil 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 sur>-)orl: of the.
Congress. Mr. Fascell will talk to GAO and will then advise us of his
decision.
5. (Unclassified - DFM) LIAISON In response t:o his call to OGC,
I called I in the General Counsel's office at NSA, and gave him

budget proposal.
6. (Unclassified - RC) BRIEFING Accorm.?:ranied I and
EA/VNO, to meet with Robert Schick, of Senator Hugh

who returned to their home countries; would they be subjected to reprisals
or death. He was also interested in what needed to be done about` the
Laotian refugees on Thailand who might wish to come to the United States.

7. (Unclassified - RC) THIRD AGENCY Called J. J. Hitchcock,
Departn7E:nt nf_ -.on the declassification of an agreement between RLG
and the USG on integration of Meo forces into FAR,. I said the declasssifi.c:ation
would probably create foreign relation problems for the USG but the Agency
cannot by itself object to its declassification. Whereas our method of doing
business may be disclosed, but at this time it is not sufficient: to bar
declassification. He said the foreign relations orobiem was for State to
decide and asked if the declassification would create a heartburn for us.
I replied in the affirmative but said the heartburn was not sufficient and
painful enough for us to as,,, that it not be declassified. a ] t: is decision was
