MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: Conversation with Dr. Brzezinski,
14 March 1978
c 6. We discussed the proposed SCC meeting on charters. David Aaron
came in and expressed the view that we were not moving ahead rapidly
enough. The Senate Select Committee had expected substantive discussions
with us in this period between their tabling -their legislation and commence-
ment of their hearings. He and Zbig.wanted a meeting that would give a
status report on how we were doing. Aaron thought Defense and Justice
were ready to go. I contended I couldn't give them a status report
because I'd deliberately allowed people until the 28th of March to come
in with their positions. We agreed that a week after that, on the.Sth
of April, there would be an SCC meeting to get a status report from me.
I told them I would be ready by then with a quick look at the submissions
of all the departments/agencies to tell them two things:
a. Areas where there were clear differences of
opinion between the intelligence agencies which might
have to come to the SCC for resolution;
b. Areas of primary concern where we were agreed
there would have to be a strong effort to change the
draft legislation.
I-don't intend that these cover everything but primarily the highlights
or sticking points. I don't think we should attempt to resolve them at
this SCC meeting,. I think we should stress the point that what we intend
to do is to get -resolution at the working level insofar as is possible and -
.bring only a few issues to the SCC in the long run.
