Belknap, on the House International Relations Committee staff. Belknap
said by tomorrow morning she needs statistics on the percent of specific
minerals used in the U. S. which were imported. I took the list of

about amending the Freedom of Information Act, and he would get back to us
as soon as this was completed. He said he hoped to have the letter on S. 1974,
the Regulatory Flexibility Act, cleared by Friday, 13 January. Regarding the
letters on S. 1720 and S. 1721, bills to amend the Administrative Procedure Act,
he said he was not sure when they would be cleared because he was awaiting
comments from DOD. He had contacted the Senate Judiciary Committee, and
they had no problem with the delay. They merely wanted to be sure the
Executive Branch was working on it. Mr. Carlstrom also extended the
deadline for our comments on H. R. 10076, the Omnibus Right to Privacy Act,
until 20 January and said he did not expect to be clearing any letters on that

21. LIAISON Talked with Bill Miller,
Staff Director, Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, regarding the
status of charter legislation. I informed Miller, in general, of conver-
sations which took place on this subject at the DCI's meeting today and
efforts we were making to move forward on this issue with the Committee.

Vogether this afternoon since I understood fro

legislation which would be made available to us on Monday. Miller
encoura ed us to meet this, afternoon 'for further dialogue and I told him
that I I would head up our team that would be meeting with him,

Miller advised me that after consulting with Senator Birch Bayh
(D., Ind.), who is expected to be the new Chairman of the Select Committee
when the second session of the 95th Congress convenes, it had been decided
to move Ambassador Carlucci's nomination confirmation hearings up to
Friday the 27th of January for the open session and reserving Monday the
30th for executive session if it appears necessary for the hearings to
run two days. This information has been passed on to Ambassador
Carlucci as well as the DCI and A/DDCI.
