ADDENDUM TO JOURNAL
OFFICE, OF LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL
Thursday - 6 May 1976
1. (Unclassified - WPB) LEGISLATION Leah Pharr, in the
Internal Revenue Service, called and requested a copy of the Director's
testimony on H. R. 12039 before Representative Bella Abzug's (D., N. Y. )
Subcommittee on Government Information and Individual Rights-- TT u
Government O erations Committee. Pharr needed our testimony in
p ring .or TLIM testimony on e same subject. I sent her a copy.
2. (Unclassified - JMD) BRIEFING Called Marian Czarnecki,
Chief of Staff, House International Relations Committee, and advised
him the Director would like to come up and give the Oversight
Subcommittee an update briefing on the covert action programs.
Czarnecki said he would check with Chairman Thomas Morgan
(D., Pa.) and get back in touch with me.
3. (Unclassified - GLC) ADMINISTRATIVE Called Russ
Rourke, White House staff, and discussed with him the various
versions of S. Res. 400 and the advantages and disadvantages of
each. I told him that we have three main concerns with S. Res. 400:
not to proliferate information, to maintain our intelligence budget
as a secret budget, and the disclosure of information by the Congress.
We agreed that the Cannon substitute for S. Res. 400 was the best
alternative of the different versions. I asked Rourke to try to get the
Administration to take a position on this legislation before some
compromise is cast in concrete.
I also asked Rourke to mention to Jack Marsh, Counsellor to
the President, the second deputy legislation. I told him that we want
to move forward on this. Rourke said he would make sure that Marsh
focused on it.
4. (Unclassified - GLC) ADMINISTRATIVE, Talked with
Sam Goldberg, State Department, about the draft letter to Senator
Frank Church (D., Idaho) on the destruction of documents which
I L:Dx'd to him yesterday. Goldberg said he had no problems with
the letter, but if I wanted clearance he would have to check with
someone "higher up" and get back to me tomorrow. I asked him to
do so. We will also get together on the oversight legislation.
