13.1 (Jack Blake, DDA, called to alert me to the
fact that State Department apparently is responding tO an inquiry from
Representative Jack Brooks about the destruction or abandonment of money in
Saigon prior to the U.S. withdrawal. According to F,lake's information, State's
original intention was to take the total figure of funds destroyed or abandoned
and prorate that figure among the various U.S. departments and-agencies. Our
Finance people objected to this especially since no Agency money was lost.
Blake thought we might want to make our position clear to Brooks.
I called Sam Goldberg, Deputy Assistant Secretary of -state for'
Congressional Relations, and asked him about this inquiry and State's` proposed
reply. Goldberg said he had heard about the incoming inquiry and said the reply
would come through his office. I told him I would be interested in knowing how
State proposes to answer this question and indicated to Goldberg that. no Agency
funds were ei.th.er destroyed or abandoned. Goldber_,; promised to call me back
on this.
