NOTE FOR: Deputy Director
SUBJECT: Electronic Surveillance Bill 7308
REF: Memo to DCI; Same Subject
1. As you know, the President called the Director to make
some calls on the electronic surveillance legislation. The attached.
men-to is a result of our contact with Justice. on this. Justice would
also like you to make the following calls:
Representative Frank Horton (R., N.Y.)
Representative Tom. Railsback (R., III-)
Representative Dante Fascell (D., I'la.. )
Representative Robert Giaim.o (D., Conn.)
2. Mr. Railsback is one of the few key Republicans who is
leaning to support the bil.l.. The point would be to shore him up. We
don't know where Horton comes out. He is an upstate New Yorker
and is a liberal hawk; sort of a Republican Scoop Jackson. He is a
ranking Republican on the Government Operations Com nittee.
3. I would not anticipate any problems on your calls to Fasceli
and Giaimo.
4. Justice also recommended you call Representative William
Poage (D., Texas) and Representative John Rhodes (R., Ariz.). Poza.ge,
although a. Democrat, has signed up with Representative Robert McClory-
(R., Ill.) in opposition to the bill. It is believed that Rhodes, as Minority
Leader, would have to be with. McClory and the majority of Republi.carns.
We do not recommend,that you call them.
