LIAISON Called Jim Guirard, on the staff of Senator Russell B. Long (D., La.), to tell him that it was impossible for us to arrange for delivery of thelI ST STAT Ion the Soviet Union to his home instead of his o ice. uirar said this presented no great problem and there then ensued a lengthy discussion of "sematic infiltration," which Guirard believes to be a major problem in U.S. foreign policy. 5 1 H 1 7? LIAISON Along with I ST STAT , atten e a rie ing of the Subcommittee on International Organizations, House International Relations Committee, presented by 1: 1 EA Di vision./I:?T (See Memorandum For the Record.) LIAISON Took a call from Judy Schneider,, on the staff of the Senate Select Committee on A Ethics ST who asked to come to Headquarters on Monday, 7 August to review Agency material previously shown to the Ethics Committee staff. Arrangements were made. STA 8. STAT 9? THIRD AGENCY Called Mr. William W. Moss, ie Archivist at the John F. Kennedy Library in Waltham, Massachusetts to discuss a request by the House International Relations Subcommittee on International Organizations for Agency material on file at the Library. We agreed that the material would be sent to the Agency for appropriate sanitization and that it would be made available to the Subcommittee here at Headquarters rather than at the Library. STAT 10: LIAISON Met with Chairman Lucien N. Nedzi (D., Mich.), House Joint Committee on the Library, and discussed the compartmented clearance status of Dr. Charles Sheldon, an employee of the Library of Congress. Chairman Nedzi could see no need for Dr. Sheldon's access to compartmented intelligence based on the need as shown in NASA's letter to the Agency dated 15 June 1978. He suggested we check further since Dr. Sheldon may require the clearances for other. Congressional purposes. He also thought it best that we talk to him personally before his clearances are lifted.- I then discussed the new Guidelines for issuing clearances. Mr. Nedzi was supportive. I mentioned that we would be looking at the group of 56 Library of Congress employees who have DIA clearances as consultants work totally .for DIA and are segregated from the rest of the employees. Mr. Nedzi said he was very familiar with this arrangement and did not feel that it presented any problems.

LIAISON I spoke with Mr. Steven Parker, a Legislative ssistan to Representative Richard Schulze (R., Pa.).

He said that he would do so. 25X1 8. LIAISON Jim Bush, House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence staff, called about biological warfare information he had requested a week earlier. I told him it was being sent to him this day. I asked Bush if he could advise us as to whether it would be useful to seek Representative Bill D. Burlison's (D., Mo.) help in getting the House Appropriations Committee mark on the Intelligence Community Staff changed. Bush suggested that it might be counterproductive and that our best bet would be to appeal to the Senate. 25X1 9.
