6. (Internal Use Only - LLM) LIAISON Called Ron Tammen,
Legislative Assistant to Senator William Proxmire (D., Wis. ), explain-
ing that I was just checking at the staff level and not representing the
Director's position, but would like his advice as to whether he thought
the Senator, in connection with the 24 May 1976 briefing of the
Subcommittee on Priorities & Economy in Government, Joint Economic
Committee, would be amenable to the Director making introductory
remarks and then turning the briefing over to the experts and whether
it would be possible for the Director to excuse himself after assuring
that he had answered any questions the members may have in the area,
such as those relating to China. In response to his query, I said that
in either event, the briefing would represent the position of the Director.
Tammen said he would have it checked out and would have
Richard Kaufman, of the Committee staff, inform me of the results
as well as the room number and the names of the staff who will be
attending and the status of their security clearances.
