Monday - 28 March 1977
1. LIAISON Chuck Snodgrass, House
Appropriations Defense Subcommittee staff, called to say that he had
forgotten to mention to me that one of the members of the Defense
Subcommittee had asked for a personal copy of the CIA budget
justification book for use in the Committee's pre-brief session this
morning. Snodgrass asked if we could get a copy up right away and
one was sent by a special messenger. It will be retrieved following the
pre-brief session.
2. LEGISLATION Called Senator John
Chafee (R., R. I.) to give him some of the background on the work we
had done with designees of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence
members who are also on the Senate Banking Committee concerning our
problems with S. 305, a bill to amend the Securities and Exchange Act.
I told the Senator that we had been in touch with Senators Robert Morgan
(D., N. Car.), Jake Garn (R., Utah), Adlai Stevenson (D., Ill.),
and Richard Lugar (R., Ind.), who are the members concerned, and
believed that they would take care of our problems in Committee, but
I thought that since he (Senator Chafee) had been gracious enough to
ask us to let him know anytime he could be of assistance, that I would
alert him to this fact. I said that he might emphasize our need for this
help in his conversations with those members. He said he would be
glad to do it. I also said we would drop some backup material by his office
for him.
3. BRIEFING CI Staff, 25X1
and I accompanied Bi. Wells, DDO, to a meeting with Senator Daniel
P. Moynihan (D., N. Y.) for the purpose of briefing him on the Agee
case. The Senator seemed completely satisfied with the briefing and
posed no really difficult questions. (See Memorandum for the Record.)
