6. (Internal Use Only - LLM) LIAISON Met with Frank Slatinshek,
Chief Counsel, House Armed Services Committee,: and in the absence
of Marian Czarnecki, spoke with Jack Brady, House International Relations
Committee staff, to review the request from Mike VanTusen, Special
Subcommittee on Investigations, House International Relations Committee
staff, on behalf of Chairman Lee Hamilton (D., Ind.) for information on
the death of Orlando. Letelier. Both agreed that we should not be involved
in reporting on a domestic situation and from Slatinshek that congressional
guidelines provide oversight of Agency activities to the Special Subcommittee.
7. (Internal Use Only - LLM) LEGISLATION At the request of
Frank Slatinshek, Chief Counsel, House Armed Services Committee, met
with Carl Perrin, on the staff of Representative John Murphy to provide
him our language of the amendment and the comment on it concerning
S. 3664. I explained it was my understanding that Mr. Murphy was in
agreement with the position and would support similar language in a
similar bill if the subject became active during the 95th Congress.
8. (Internal Use Only - LLM) LIAISON John Matheney, White
House staff, called to confirm the holding in the Marchetti case that
publication does not place classified information in the public domain.
I read him the pertinent confirming excerpts from the Marchetti and
Knoff cases which John Greaney, OGC, provided. We also discussed that this
rule does not appear to be followed in Freedom of Information Act cases when
publication is made in a congressional committee document.
9. (Internal Use Only - LLM) LIAISON Spoke with Larry. Callahan,
Legislative Affairs, Department of Justice, concerning the proposed
briefing of the Special Subcommittee on Investigations, House International
Relations Committee, concerning the death of Orlando ]:;e-tell er~ -CaBaha~rt__ ,
said that Justice was not going to appear but that the Department of State
was and I explained that our general position was that whatever information we
had on the case should be reported to Justice and that we have no authority
to get involved in the investigation of a domestic crime.
10. (Unclassified - KSN) LIAISON Bill. Miller, Staff Director,
Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, met with Jim Taylor, Comptroller.
