: Meeting with Two House Staff Members
1. On 28 August 1985 I had lunch outside Headquarters with Tom Smeeton
of the House Foreign Affairs Minority Staff, and Dr. John Dugan, Staff
Director of a Subcommittee of the House Committee on Science and Technology.
The event occurred at the initiative of Smeeton, who wished to reunite three
individuals who had been in graduate school together. While the event was
mainly a social occasion, two subjects raised are worth LL's attention.
STAT 2. Noting Dugan's position I rai d the case who
STAT works in HIC and has been nominated by o to e a candidate
for the Space Shuttle; NASA is interested in es ng the effects of zero
gravity on victims of multiple sclerosis. Dugan enthusiastically offered to
help lobby on the Hill. He said he had been with NASA for 12 years, believed
the experiment well worth doing, and would be willing to speak to the Chairman
STAT of his Committee which, he pointed out, approves NASA's budget. I thanked him
for his offer and said I would pass it along t who could mention it
STAT the next time contacted her. Since t en as been in
STAT contact with ugan and o ers whose names Dugan provided to her.
3. For LL's background, I sholld add that I tified the irect of OCR

4. The second topic concerned a new book just received in the Historical
Intelligence Collection, Viktor Suvorov} Aquarium. Smeeton said that
Representative Henry Hyde had a strong personal interest in the Shadrin case
(a Soviet defector lured back by the Soviets). I commented that Aquarium
contained a reference to that case and I would be glad to send Smeeton a stock
copy for Hyde's retention, but I would notify LL.
