Friday - 10 February 1978
17. (Confidential - LLM) LIAISON Bob Beckel, White House
staff, called to discuss further the handling of the request for declassification
of the testimony of Senators Birch Bayh (D., Ind.) and Barry Goldwater
(R., Ariz.) before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on U. S.
intelligence activities i I repeated my suggestions of the 25X1
previous day and he said they were in line with his thinking and said
he would like to have a meeting in the White House later this afternooi,.,
It was arranged to have it at 4:00 p.m., after the 3:00 Legislative
Liaison meeting. Subsequently, in the company o DDO/ 25X1
LA Division, we met with Bill Lynck, DEA, Phil Jordan, DOJ, Hunter
Estep, State Department, and Beckel to discuss this matter. I provided
Admiral Robert Inman, D/NSA, with a copy of a blind version of LA
Division's memo and he said it reflected his views and I again recommended
that Becket consider recommending to the Senate Select Committee on
Intelligence that they draft up a eport rather than issue 25X1
a sanitized version of the transcript because our end results in the latter
case would be very insubstantial and perhaps mis-leading. Beckel
said he would be dealing with Bill Miller, Staff Director of the Select
Committee, and said he might like to call upon me to See Senators
Bayh and Goldwater.
19. (Unclassified - LLM) LIAISON Attended the regular
meeting of the White House Legislative Liaison group.
20. (Unclassified - SF) LIAISON Received a call from Jean
Christoff, on the staff of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence,
wanting a quick answer on when Richard Helms resigned as Director;
I provided her with the answer.
