4. (Unclassified - GLC) LIAISON Accompanied the Director
to a meeting with Senators Henry Bellmon (R. , Okla. ) and Edmund
Muskie (D. , Maine) on provisions of the Agency budget. (See
Memorandum for the Record. )
5. (Confidential - GLC) LIAISON Called Bill Miller, Staff
Director, Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, and advised him
of our session today with Senators Henry Bellmon (R. , Okla. ) and
Edmund Muskie (D., Maine)
.
I also discussed with him events that took place yesterday with.
regard to Mr. Sorensen's confirmation hearings.
(Internal Use Only - GLC) LIAISON Received a call from.
Carolyn$acon, Personal Secretary to Senator John Tower (R., Texas),.
She indicated that Max Friedersdorf and Bob Wolthius, former senior
officials of the White House Congressional L alson Office, were now
working for the Senate Republican Conference and that Senator 'rower
would like to have their existing clearances retained. I told. Ms. Bacon.
that this raised a rather. novel question that I would have to look into
and get back in touch.
Following my conversation with Ms. Bacon, I talked with
Darrell St. Claire, Assistant Secretary to the Secretary of the Senate,
regarding the status of Friedersdorf and Wolthius. He said that both
of these men were employees' of the Senate and on the Senate pay-roll
and when I discussed the nature of my interest, St. Claire (who has
considerable. acquaintance with Agency matters) said he could see no
problem in these men retaining their clearances since he was sure other
staff people.in these Committees also had security clearances. I also
discussed this matter with Robert Gambino, D/OS, who said that unless
some action is taken to terminate these clearances, they would. remain
in effect. I told him I was considering asking Senator 'rower to send us
a formal letter asking that Friedersdorf s and Wolthius' clearances
be retained.
