Journal - Office of Legislative Counsel
Thursday -- 27 July 19'78
7. LEGISLATION Michael IVenk,
Department of Justice, called to determine the reaction of
Guy McConnell and Pete Bonner, both on the Senate Appropriations
Committee staff, on deferring to the language in Title IV of
the' i.ntelli.gence authorization bill in connection with the
excludable aliens problem. He then explained the precise
nature of the problem and read the report language which had
just been approved which would cause Immigration and Naturali-
zation Service to deny entry and enforce expulsion of hostile
intelligence personnel. Because of the particular situation
anything we would do would have to await conference which would
continence sometim: after 7 August. Went requested that I accompany
him on the Hill to assure that Committee staff appreciate the
problems this might create. I told him we would want to be sure
that we had properly sorted out the problem and we would be back
i n touch.
8. LIAISON Called Tom Latimer, Staff
Director, House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, in
response to his request for a position on storage of NID's over
night in the Committee rooms. I told him that while Y -Had not
discussed this matter with top management, there were valid
reasons for insisting on tight security for this document.
I said such tight security was necessary to reassure collectors
that sensitive items could be included and this reassurance
was necessary if the document is to continuo-as the high quality
product that it is. I told him that we had turned down a similar
request from tho`'Senate Select Committee on Intelligence staff.
Latimer believe, oir case would appear reasonable to the vast
majority of the Members of the Committee.
9. LIAISON/PA I called Ms. Ryan
Conroy, in the office of Senator Alan Cranston (D., Calif.),
concerning an attachment to the Senator's note to CIA on behalf
of a constituent's Privacy Act request which did not appear related.
to the request. Ms. Conroy asked that I return that document to
her attention and we need not formally reply to the Senator's letter.
