Today I talked to Ariel Weiss from the Speakers Office; Chief
of Staff of HFAC, Jack Brady; Special Assistant to the Minority
Leader, Bill Gavin; and, HFAC Minority Staff Director, Ev Bierman,
concerning plans for the activities of this House Observer Team
to the Arms Control talks in Geneva. This delegation was named
by the majority and minority leadership and is not authorized by
any particular House resolution. The action was taken by the
House leadership as a result of the Senate Resolution which
designated official observers to the Arms Control negotiations.
At best, the situation can be described as confused.
According to Ariel Weiss, the delegation is at the mercy of the
Administration. At this point the leadership does not know what
authority or access the observers will have. Weiss told me that
the focal point for trying to sort out the details has switched
from Oglesby of the White House to Ed Fox at the Department of
State. Jack Brady said that as far as staff is concerned, if any
will attend, the staffers will probably be drawn from the HFAC
Subcommittee on International Security and Scientific Affairs.
Brady said that No J. Spalatin would certainly attend if
staffers were included with the delegation. Ev Bierman said that
William J. Fite would probably accompany Broomfield on the trip.
