MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence
1. On 8 January you asked that a letter be prepared to the new
Senators. Attached is the response from the DDS on this subject.
2. I am inclined to agree that a letter to each of the new
Senators might pose a problem and would suggest that a call on these
individuals by Mr. Warner, perhaps followed up later by a telephone
call from you should an-opportunity present itself, would be preferable.
I do not agree with the DD/S' objections to the DD/I's participating in
a Department of State briefing of the Senators.

Letters to now Senators

contained in paragraph S.
2. Attached is a draft letter prepared pursuant to your request
that appropriate letters be sent to the new Senators inviting them to
become acquainted with the Agency. Also attached for your information
is a list Of the eighteen (18) now Senators. This letter, of course, would
be adapted to fit special situations such as Senators Keating. Dodd,
McCarthy and others.
sending out letters to the eighteen new Senators. Now Congressmen in
-
'Washington are besieged with all types of welcoming letters, congratulatory
messages, iuvitatione to various activities and other correspondence
demanding their attention. Consequently, a letter would not necessarily
have the impact do *trod. On the other hand, putting Out eighteen letters
inviting inquiry about the Agency could come to the attention of the other
Senators and in particular cases such as Chvershak, Mansfield and
Margaret Case Smith there is a strong possibility of an adverse reaction.
There will be a total of seventy Senators who will not have received such
a Letter in the past.
4. To accomplish the same purpose, I should like to offer two
suggestions. The Department of State is planing to hold a, briefing session

On a tentative basis, Mr. Macomber has Offered to provide a place on
this schedule for an Agency representative if we desire. Additionally,
it is common practice, in other legislative liaison offices to have the
principal liaison officer personally call an new Senators and appropriate
freshmen Representatives. In suck cases they generally furnish some
items of departmental information which are pertinent to the Congressman'.
particular district or state. In addition to appropriate welcoming words?
an offer of assistance is made and the Congressman is provided specific
information on the legislative liaison officers available for assistance
to the Congressman.
I recommend a combination of the two above suggestions and
suggest that Mr. Amory could be selected to give a fifteen or twenty
minute talk on the Agency an the Department of State's schedule.
