Talked with Representative Lucien N. Nedzi
1 j
(D., Mich. sures over the weekend with respect to a sensitive
Agency program. I told Mr. Nedzi that I would provide him with some
back-up material on this in the next day or two. I also talked to the
Chairman about House action on a select committee. Action on the resolution
will probably be taken by the House early next week. I told him that we had
provided a classified document on the legislative history of the Agency to the
Senate Select Committee and would be happy to provide him a copy of the same
document. In this connection, I told him that I assumed that even though he
might be the Chairman of the select committee in the House that he would also
want his Armed Services CIA Subcommittee to receive copies of all documents
provided to the House and Senate select committees, as we had done in the
Watergate case, and he said indeed he did. I have asked Mr. Clarke to provide
me with copies of all documents going to the Select Committee for this purpose.
