Legal Adviser,,5ta.te DeDartm_ P- concerning the Director's proposed
position on S. 244 amending the National Security Act of 1947 on (g) (2)
"illegal activities" prohibition. I recommended that rather than registering
their concern in writing to OMB they merely refer to their contact with
us and we for our part will go towards a possible revision on our comment
on (g)(2) either by limiting our comment to the statement that it is
inappropriate and unnecessary or provide further explanation of the specific
problems which could be encountered by the obvious over. breadth of the
provision. Malmborg agreed.
9. (Internal Use Only - LLM) Bill Jones_ Ij P I; a called
and wanted to know if Mr. Malmborg, State Department, and I had yet
talked on the Director's proposed comments on S. 244 amending the
National Security Act. I reported the results as stated above.
On our proposed unauthorized disclosure legislation, Jones said
that Mr. Hyland., OMB, agreed with State's legal advisers that the timing
was not propitious. I`said this involved an arguable difference of opinion
because I was quite sure Mr. Colby was still committed to pursue the
legislation and that we were still not convinced that the problems reflected
in State's proposed reply to OMB on the legislation were solid, but I
thanked Jones for his good efforts on our behalf.

aspects of a witness' right to counsel and the possible advantages of having
a special counsel for the Agency as in the Army/McCarthy hearings,. No
conclusions were reached, but Braswell seemed to share the view expressed by
Calloway that an Agency employee should be permitted to have counsel present
if he chooses without having to bear the expenses of that counsel's fees. In this
connection, we also discussed the matter of representation by Agency or
Justice Department attorneys. 25X1
