SUBJECT: Telephone Conversation with Tom Latimer, Staff Director,
House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence
1. I called Tom Latimer and discussed a number of
topics wi i , including the Director's problem in committing
himself to appearances on Tuesday mornings because of his weekly
meeting with the President at that time. Latimer said that Mike
O'Neil, also of the Committee staff, was seeing if the Director might
be scheduled for 11 January on the electronic surveillance legislation
rather than the 10th and would be back in touch with us. On the session
on 24 January concerning open budget, he said this might be moved
to 25 January. (This is a problem for the Director, however, since
he also has a request from the House Appropriations Defense Sub-
committee for a world wrap-up briefing on 25 and 26 January.) We
agreed to work on this problem and keep in touch.
2. I . I told Latimer that in addition to the unclassified
paper on Soviet civil defense which we were preparing we were also
preparing the annual unclassified paper on Soviet defense expenditures.
I pointed out that in past years we have given advance copies to the
House Armed Services Committee for their release. I asked Latimer
if he thought the House Select Committee would want to assume this
kind of an arrangement this year. As is the case with the paper on
Soviet civil defense, Latimer asked to look at the paper so that he could
make an informed decision. I told him we would get both of these to
him as soon as they were in agreed form.
3. II I talked with Latimer about the status of our work on
charter legislation and he expressed an interest in receiving a copy
of our informal draft of Title I. I told him we would send a copy of this
to Mike O'Neil who will be haildl?incr _14- s?h;P-t_
