3. It is recommended that we be in touch with Cong. Mahon
shortly to see how he would like to proceed with the CIA budget. If
it were agreeable to Mr. Mahon, it might be well to suggest that the
an the CIA budget consist of the' Chairman and ranking
ach of the three sub-subcommittees listed
above (with Chairman Cannon and Mr. Taber ex officio) rather than
briefing the entire subcommittee as was done last year. It might
also be well to suggest that the staff be limited to one or two members
e staff members who were present last year.
