SUBJECT: Meeting with the DDCI
At my request, I met with the DDCI to get some guidance on
questions which are perking in our area.
a. It is the DDCI's strong view that the
provision of the Ecountry pap=.;r. s will fulfill our
requirement from the Senate Select Committee on
Intelligence for an evaluation of the Agency's
HUMINT collection capability. He urged that the
DDO act as swiftly as possible to get these
papers up to the Committee. Don Gregg informed.
b. The DDCI realizes that any amendment
of the FOIA will be difficult to achieve legislatively
and politically. Nonetheless, he feels it excellent
strategy to condition any prospect of a two percent
across-the-board personnel cut upon the relief of
FOIA. In sum, he is pursuing this course for
tactical reasons with OMB more than for any
reason of optimism on the legislative front informed.
d. If we receive additic,rtal requests to
brief on Kampiles this week, there is no problem
with going forward in response. It does not matter
how conclusive our briefing is on the questions
involved. It is important that we do it.
is orchestrating it for the DDCC with John Blake and
Robert Gambino the primary participants.

e. On the question of indirect distribution
of unclassified publications to tl c Congress, the
DDCI agreed with our recommendation that we try
to peddle them through the committees first to see
if there is any interest. If Bill Miller, Staff Director,
Senate Select' Committee on Int,111igence, and Tom
Latimer, Staff Director, House,Permanent Select
Committee on Intelligence, don't want to handle it
that way then we will go back to direct letters.
I will handle this.
g. The DDCI forgot to mention the Intelligence
Authorization bill veto recommendation to David Aaron,
Deputy Assistant to the Preside>ait for National Security
Affairs, on Saturday. Nonetheless, he is not concerned
that this recommendation will he acted upon. We shall
follow it through Sam Hoskinson, NSC staff. informed.
h. The DDCI urged me to check with
and Scott Breckinridge on the House Select Committee
on Assassinations' subpoenas, which I will do.
