6.1 1 LIAISON After numerous unsuccessful
attempts to reach Representative John Murphy (D., N.Y.), Chairman
of the House Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries, I talked
with Patty McAlister, Mr. Murphy's personal secretary, to tell her I
was calling the Congressman on behalf of the Director to express an
offer to provide whatever information we could to two of the Chairman's
subcommittees which will be looking into matters relating to the extension
of U. S. fishing rights. I said I thought we could provide the Subcommittee
on Fisheries and Wildlife, chaired by Representative Robert Leggett
(D., Calif.) and the Subcommittee on Oceanography, chaired by
Representative John Breaux (D., La.), with background information
that might be of use to them. I told her we would go ahead and contact
the staff people on these Subcommittees (Wayne Smith on the Oceanography
Subcommittee and at her suggestion, Ned Everett, on the Fisheries
and Wildlife Subcommittee).
7. LIAISON Met with Dave Finnegan, on the
staff of the Subcommittee on Energy & Power, House Interstate and Foreign
Commerce Committee, and Frank Potter, Counsel and Staff Director of
the Subcommittee, in a further effort to disengage Admiral Turner's
appearance from the panel discussion by the heads of the Department of
Transportation, ERDA, EPA, and FEA, on the basis that the latter would
concentrate on domestic policy issues. Potter was understanding and
ultimately Chairman John Dingell (D. , Mich.) arranged for Admiral
Turner to precede the other witnesses and to leave. as soon as he was
finished.
Potter agreed that briefings from the Agency would better
serve their informational needs when they are in executive session, and in
that connection he referred to a 16 May session on a MIT study which
parallels the findings of the CIA energy studies, but which has dragged along
and has been four years in the making. Potter would like to have a further
session with Agency representatives on the MIT study, but exact details
on how this would be done were not worked out and. we agreed to stay in
touch.

8. BRIEFING At her request, met with
Dorothy Fosdick, on the staff of the Permanent Subcommittee on
Investigations, Senate Governmental Affairs Committee, and she said that
Senator Henry M. Jackson (D. , Wash.) wanted them to receive a briefing
from on technology transfer. I indicated I was
unaware of role but would check and was sure we could
provide an appropriate briefer.
9. LIAISON Met with Grenville Garside,
on the staff of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, and
provided him copies of 'he unclassified study on "Prospects for Soviet Oil
Production" which had been released today and asked him to be sure to
get it to Chairman Henry M. Jackson (D. , Wash.) and the other five
Senators who attended the briefing of the Committee last week, indicating
that the study was being provided to the Subcommittee on Energy and Power,
House Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee, this afternoon.
Garside appreciated our thoughtfulness and wanted to know if we would
have any problem if our two energy studies were put out by the Committee
as a Committee Print. I told him none whatsoever although, as he knows, the
studies have been fairly widely distributed within the Congress.
10. BRIEFING
intern working in the office of Senator Pete V. Dornenici
called to see if he could set up a briefing for the Senator
Bellmon (D. , Okla.) on Zaire for 28 April, 8:30 a? m.
25X1
a CIA congressional
(R. , N. Mexico),
and Senator Henry
11. LIAISON Tom Coleman, on the staff of
Representative Jack F. Kemp R. , N. Y. ), called on behalf of a constituent
who disagreed with the CIA energy study and wanted to talk to the Agency
people who had prepared it to ask a number of questions, including why it
differs on the reserves issue with a "Credit Banque de Belgium" report.
I explained for Coleman's information the misunderstanding arising over
reserves vis-a-vis production; indicated that I am sure that Mr. Kemp
would be appreciative of the fact that we are not a public information
agency and cannot have our analysts in the situation where they are phoned
directly by members of the public; and suggested instead that we draft
a letter for Mr. Kemp to send to the constituent,
which would respond to her questions. He thought t is was an excellent
idea.

for a constituent from a college, who is inquiring as to how CIA came
into being, if the National Security Authority is in= existence, how many
departments make up CIA, and who serves on committees investigating
the CIA. I suggested she might wish to check directly with the National
Security Council, and noted that no committees are currently investigating
CIA, but there are oversight committees in being. I am forwarding copies
of the pamphlet on the Agency and "Intelligence in the War of Independence",
plus the lists of the membership of the five oversight committees (Senate
Foreign and House International Relations Committee not included) to her on

called Chuck Snodgrass, House Appropriations Defense Subcommittee

office and that I would give him the number as soon as we received it.
I also mentioned to Snodgrass that the letter from the Director
on the Surveys and Investigations Staff reports had been held up and
Snodgrass had no objection.
I also asked him if the additional questions he planned to provide
us were ready to be picked up and he said no but would let us know as
soon as they were.
