24 LIAISON Received a call from Jack
Brady, Chie o: Stall, ouse international Relations Committee. Brady
said some of the staff members of the Subcommittee on International
Organizations (Fraser Subcommittee) had informed him that the Justice
Department had completed its action on the Derwinski matter but that
executive agencies (particularly CIA) were still unwilling to resume access
by the Subcommittee staff to documents not previously examined or
witnesses interviewed. I told Brady that our information was quite to the
contrary and that as I had indicated to him several days ago, the Attorney
General had advised the Director that the Fraser Subcommittee matter was
still open. I also restated to Brady my hope that before the Subcommittee
issued subpoenas for further. access to material and witnesses that
Representative Donald Fraser (D., Minn.) or Chairman Clement Zablocki
(D., Wis.) would discuss this matter further with the Attorney General.
Brady thanked me for my assistance and said he would keep me informed.
25. LIAISON Talked with Stan Taylor,
Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, about the progress being made
by the Committee staff in investigating Ambassador Carlucci's background
in connection with his nomination to be DDCI. Taylor had confirmed that
the Committee had received Ambassador Carlucci's nomination from the
White House. He also asked me about the Detroit Free Press article
alleging that Secretary of State Vance and Dr. Brzezinski, Assistant to
the President for National Security Affairs, were unhappy with Admiral
Turner and were trying to get rid of him. I told Taylor I was aware of
the rumors because of the press article but told him I was aware of
nothing specific on this. I did comment, however, that anyone who is
placed in a difficult position such as Admiral Turner is bound to be the
subject of criticism or unhappy reaction.
26. LIAISON Ambassador Carlucci met
privately wi Senator is ar ugar (R., Ind.) on his courtesy call.
f 27. LEGISLATION Called John Elliff, Senate
/Select Committee on a igence staff, to ask about hearings scheduled for
24 January on S. 1566, the electronic surveillance legislation. Mr. Elliff
said that the American Civil Liberities Union and Mortin Halperin were the
scheduled witnesses, and Senator Birch Bayh (D., Ind.) had a prepared
statement. He also said that the next scheduled hearings were 3 February
and the Committee would begin mark-up the week after those hearings.
