18. I LIAISON Received a call from Bill Miller,
Staff Director, Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, who informed me
the Committee had no objection to our releasing the section of the Director's
6 December 1977 testimony before the Committee on the Frank Snepp case
to the court under terms of a subpoena. Miller did propose a formal
exchange of correspondence on this request, however, and I agreed. I
also talked about this request with Keith Raffel, of the Committee staff, .
several times during the day. I also discussed with Miller the request
of Senate Budget Committee staff member Mike Pillsbury for compartmented
clearances. Miller informed me the Committee had decided not to approach
Senator Henry Bellmon (R., Okla.), Ranking Minority Member of the Budget
Committee, but instead would await a formal request from the Budget
Committee that Pillsbury have access to the Committee's FY-1979
authorization report.

Committee on Intelligence staff, to inform him the Agency's task force
study on the Frank Snepp book was being forwarded to the Committee today.

Dear Mr. Wilson: 1 ~t Wa;vc~.
At the request of the officers of TIME Inc. in New York, I have been
trying to identify and evaluate the source of a statement which appears in a
1975 report of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence entitled, "Covert
Action in Chile, 1963-1973." On page 25, the report says: "According to CIA
documents, the TM correspondent in Chile apparently had accepted Allende's
protestations of moderation and constitutionality at face value. Briefings
requested by TIME and provided by the CIA in Washington resulted in a change
in the basic thrust of the TIME story on Allende's September 4 victory and in
the timing of that story."
Since this statement in the report was based on "CIA documents," we
would like to obtain copies of those documents. I discussed this with Dale
Peterson in your Public Affairs office and he provided a copy of the point
paper dated September 18, 1970 on which the briefings were based and which
had previously been released. He suggested that I,write to you for copies
of the other relevant documents.
'0.g
I am, therefore, requesting copies of the documents sent to the
Senate Select Committee which report on briefings given to TINS correspondent e`G s -
Jerry Hannifin in September 1970 and which state that these briefings had
influenced or altered the content of TIME's story.' K`
.Sscs~.....~s .
Please let me know if you need further details to identify the
material we are asking for. Thank you for-your help.
Sincerely,
