SUBJECT: McCurdy's Visit to Headquarters.
MEMORANDUM FOR:
FROM:
1. Next Wednesday, April 20, Representative Dave McCurdy
;(D., OK) will be breakfasting with the DCI along with other
Members of the HPSCI. This morning the undersigned received,
a call from HPSCI Staff Director Tom Latimer, who indicated
.that, post-breakfast,. McCurdy wants to spend the 9,:00 to
.12:00 or the 9:00 to 1:00 time frame receiving a briefing on
Soviet threat analysis.
.2. Specifically, Mr. McCurdy is interested in,what plans the
Soviets might have with regard to various areas of the world,
for instance, what we know of Soviet plans re NATO, re Middle'
East, etc. Mr. Latimer stressed that Mr. McCurdy. must leave
by 1:00 p.m. for another appointment.
3. I do realize that this is a rather lengthy time
period, but do feel since we have an eager ear we may want to
try to fill the void. I plan to break the three hours up
with a.coffee/coffee cake diversion at 10:30 a.m. during
which time you may wish to consider asking Mr. Gates to pay a
courtesy call on the Member while in the building. It might
be a nice touch. Additionally, I intend also to ask
or to host Mr. McCurdy for a lunch in
the Executive. Dining Room between 12:00 and 1:00 p.m. That
should more than fill the time that Mr. McCurdy has available
to him.

4. Mr. Latimer called back later in the morning asking
us, during the course of the briefing, to stress to
Mr. McCurdy that the information that he is receiving is of
the highest sensitivity. Mr. McCurdy, being new to the-world
of intelligence, must be made aware that inadvertent dis-
closure of SCI information could. be very detrimental to
national security. This reinforcement comes not because of
any particular problem with Mr. McCurdy, but merely by way of
Mr. Latimer telling us that we are dealing with "green wood"
and should take every opportunity to educate the new Member
to the ways of intelligence.
5. I appreciate all your assistance. Please provide
with the names of the briefers as soon as
possible so that we might make the appropriate arrangements
with Executive Dining Room for coffee, etc.
