17. Ed Braswell, Chief Counsel, Senate
Armed Services Committee, called and asked if we could give him some help
in preparing a press release for Chairman Stennis concerning the recent press
revelations. I referred him to the New York Times article and then he asked
when the funding began. I told him FY 1970 and that it had been before all our
Subcommittees and the funds approved by the Appropriations Subcommittees.
I said on his Committee only Senators Stennis and Thurmond had been informed.
18. Scott Cohen, in the office of Senator Charles
Percy, called concerning the stoning incident involving President Echeverra.a
of Mexico. He asked if the Senator could have a letter from us stating that we

would be much better and made arrangements for this through
Chief, LA Division.

Committee staff, ca e to say enator Sam Nunn is interested in making a speech

like this happen once in a while. Sullivan is pulling together a speech for Nunn

I told him I had mentioned to Nunn that Senator Stennis had asked for a similar
paper and I offered to make a copy available to Nunn also.
