1. Bob Hull, Department of State, called
to make further inquiries about our pending retirement legislation. He said
that they would have hearings on conforming amendments to the Foreign
Service system before the Hays Subcommittee on Wednesday. I sent him
material on our pending legislation in the interest of being of assistance.
3. Talked with Miss Kimie Ishibashi, Personal
Secretary to Senator Daniel Inouye (D. , Hawaii), about the possibility of the
Senator addressing the Advanced Intelligence Seminar next Friday. Miss
Ishibashi said she would be glad to take this up with the Senator and be back
in touch with me.
5. Colonel Everett Harper, on the staff of
the Senate Preparedness Subcommittee, called and asked if the revelations
by Senator Fulbright following the Director's testimony before the Symington
Subcommittee was a deliberate move on the Agency's part. I told Harper
the only way we could answer his question was to state that the Director had
appeared before the Symington Subcommittee in response to a request from
the Senator which the Director did not feel he was in a position to refuse. I
added that we did not consider this as establishing a precedent and the
Director's appearance was made in a manner consistent with his other
briefings on the Hill. I told him I was providing this for his information
and not for publication. Harper said he understood and added that he was
"dismayed" by Senator Fulbright's statements.

6. Received another call from Al Tarabochia,
on the staff of the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee, concerning the
Subcommittee's contact with an American citizen who was arrested in Peru.
(See Memo for the Record for details.)
After passing this information on to WH Division, I suggested to
Tarabochia that he inform the State Department of this information since
the individual involved is an American citizen.
9. Met with Mr. Arthur Kuhl, Chief Clerk, Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, who told me the daily delivery of the transcript
of the Director's testimony before the Symington Subcommittee can be discon-
tinued after today. The transcript will be retained in the Agency, subject to
call by the Chairman. Mr. Kuhl also advised that the transcript will be needed
next Wednesday for the day. Chairman Symington has scheduled an admini-
strative meeting of the Committee and staff to review the hearings on Laos.
10. Met with Mr. James T. Kendall, Chief Counsel,
Senate Preparedness Investigation Subcommittee, who asked that someone
come by the first of the week and brief him on the new Soviet bomber that
has been receiving so much publicity.
11. Met with Miss Trudy King, Executive
Assistant to Representative Thomas Morgan (D., Pa.), and closed out the
correspondence with her. Miss King expressed Representative Morgan's
appreciation for our help in this case.

House Armed Services Committee, who indicated that he intends to present
the Agency's amendments to the retirement act before the full Committee

1. I George Winnett, State Congressional
Liaison, called to say he had gotten a congressional inquiry about
allegations regarding Kim Philby's relations with CIA. I told Winnett
that if he would send the inquiry to us we would try to handle it.
2. I Jack Leahy, State Department
Congressional Liaison Office, called and asked if any members of
the Foreign Relations Committee have been present at our briefings
of the Senate CIA Subcommittees on Laos. Leahy is aware that
Senators Fulbright, Mansfield and Hickenlooper (now Aiken) normally
attend these meetings as invitees. He is raising this question as a
result of Senator Fulbright's statement at Secretary Rogers briefing
of the Symington Subcommittee that this was the first he knew of the
extent of U. S. involvement in Laos. (See our Memo to the Director).
On the Director's instructions, Leahy was advised that this was a
matter which Mr. Helms would discuss personally with Secretary Rogers.

the Subcommittee on Tuesday.
7. Met with Mr. Arthur Kuhl, Chief Clerk, Senate

ever, for a Committee administrative meeting on the Laos hearings.

response is desired. If the Agency has strong objection to the bill such
a response would be of use to the Committee. Otherwise no answer to

1. Returned the call of Roger Majak,
Legislative Assistant to Representative Jonathan Bingham (D., N.Y. ),
who wanted to meet with me to discuss an article on the CIA to be written
by the Congressman for a popular magazine. Majak said they wanted to
deal with CIA operations and the congressional role therein and in that
connection said they would like information on the Members and committees
we contact on a regular basis and those contacted on an irregular basis.
I told him that at a minimum we would draw together some material that
he might find valuable reading before outlining the article, including floor
debates on the general subject of the legislative oversight of the CIA.
Majak said this would be fine and I said we would try to get back to him
in the next several days. (Later in the day I , OCI, informed
OLC, that Majak had contacted Mrs.
who is a personal friend, for the same purpose.)
2. Ted Swift, in the office of Senator
Robert C. Byrd (D. , W.Va.), called referring to a floor speech to be made

far as the Subcommittee was concerned. (See Memo for the Record. )

6. Met with Ed Braswell, on the staff of
the Senate Armed Services Committee, to discuss our retirement legislation
and the possibility of our bill being introduced in the Senate. Braswell
strongly recommends that we proceed first with the House Committee on

conferences on the Defense Procurement bill and the pressure on him to
next take up the draft legislation. (See Memo for the Record. )

amendments to the Foreign Service Retirement Act.

1. Dorothy Fosdick advised that
Senator Henry Jackson (D., Wash.) regrets that he will be unable
to accept the Director's invitation to address our senior officers

dinner during that period. I suggested that we approach him again
at some time in the near future and Miss Fosdick said she was sure
the Senator would like to have another opportunity.

3. In connection with his query about "the
report" mentioned in the Beecher column of 2 October, I advised
George Murphy, on the staff of the Joint Committee on Atomic
Energy, that I could not respond to his question as he had put it
since this was not one report but was a series of papers which were
being prepared. (Murphy had asked if we could tell him the status of
the report which was being prepared in connection to the SALT talks. )

constituent since apparently an HEW representative who had talked to him
had mentioned that either DOD or CIA may have some interest. I told
her that if called upon we would meet with the individual as a courtesy
to the Senator.
14. Mr. Robert Hull, Department
of State, called for a rundown on our plans for updating the Agency's
Retirement Act to the Danie216XIIA which I gave him.

I. I Received a call from Gwen Harrison,
in the office of Representative William Mailliard (R., Calif.), who advised
that she is preparing responses to constituent correspondence relating to
the Green Beret case and requested a listing of the congressional committees
that review the activities of the Agency. Mrs. Harrison also advised that
she would appreciate a copy of whatever wire service or press clippings we
might have immediately available concerning the review by the President of
the determination of the Director of Central Intelligence in this case. I
thanked Mrs. Harrison for her call and advised that we would send her a
copy of an appropriate clipping.
3. George Murphy, on the staff of the Joint
Committee on Atomic Energy, called and asked for copies of reports which
were referred to in the study which we provided him on Soviet computers.
I told him I would check on this and be back in touch.

7. In an chance encounter I asked Carl Marcy,
Chief of Staff, Senate Foreign Relations Committee, about the Symington
Subcommittee hearings on U. S. involvements in Southeast Asia and what role
his staff was playing therein. He said that Messrs. Pincus and Paul were
"running this show on their own, " but that he personally was following the

8. I I Met with Russ Blandford, Chief Counsel, House

Blandford complained that items a. and b. above confirmed his belief that
Agency estimates on such matters were often too conservative.

1. George Murphy, Joint Committee on Atomic
Energy staff, called and said that he would like to see a copy of the Agency's
study on Soviet computers. Murphy is interested in this because he under-
stands that proposals are being made for the U. S. to send sophisticated
computers to Soviet atomic energy laboratories. Murphy is opposed to this
and wishes to learn as much as he can about the state of the art in the Soviet
Union. He was advised by the Atomic Energy Commission that the Agency
had such a study. I told him I would look into this and be in touch with him.
Murphy also referred to an article in yesterday's Washington Star
concerning two spies who were arrested and subsequently freed and may be
the subjects of an exchange arrangement. He would like any information
that we might have on 25X1 A
2. Talked with Ed Braswell, Chief of
Staff, Senate Armed Services Committee, about our interest in getting
legislation which would provide benefits comparable to those contained in
the Daniels/McGee bill for the CIA retirement system. Braswell made the
following points:
a. He is not at all sympathetic to those persons who are
pressing for maximum retirement benefits on top of cost-of-living
increases but he sees no reason why the increased benefits for the
CIA system cannot carry the same effective date as the McGee/Daniels
legislation.
b. They will be tied up in conference meetings on the military
procurement bill for the next two weeks.
c. He suggests that we press for action in the House committee
first since as he put it Stennis does not like to "carry the torch" on
retirement-type legislation.
d. While he is cool to the possibility of our obtaining
statutory authority for the Director to adopt Civil Service retirement
benefits by administrative action, he did not completely rule out
this possibility.
It was agreed that I would provide Braswell with our retirement package
including our draft language for administrative authorities. He will review
it at his earliest opportunity and then get together with us.

9. Received a call from Mr. Robert I ichaels,
Staff Assistant, House Appropriations Committee, who wanted to be sure
that the Agency had seen the article entitled "The CIA and The Green Berets:
A Strange Case of Mistaken Identies (sic) ?" by L. Fletcher Prouty who is
touted by the Armed Forces Journal as an individual highly knowledgeable
on CIA and its activities. He advised that the information in this article is
contrary to the information provided the Appropriations Committee yesterday
by the Secretary of the Army. On meeting with Mr. Michaels I gave him a
copy of a previous article by Prouty that appeared in The New Republic of Z3
and 30 August 1969 and advised that the biographic sketch on Prouty that
appeared in the Armed Forces Journal was somewhat inflated. I also
reviewed with Mr. Michaels some of the details of the Prouty article.
Although he is still concerned that such misinformation about the Agency is
appearing in the public press, no further response or information is desired
from the Agency at this time.

the provision which would authorize the transfer of funds between our retirement
system and the Civil Service system. He also saw no. reason why we should not
attempt to obtain legislation which would permit the Director to adopt adminis-

with Senator Gravel's opposition to the AEC nuclear test at Amchitka was
very timely. The Senator had discussed this test with the Soviets previously

2. Talked with Ed Bauser and George Murphy,
on the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy staff, concerning Mr. Bauser's
letter to the Director forwarding the William Beecker column which
appeared in the New York Times on 2 October. After some discussion,
Bauser and Murphy accepted my oral response to the effect that the report
referred to in the column on "spy capabilities" was being prepared under
the aegis of the National Security Council and therefore could not be made
available by the Agency. No written response is necessary. (See Memo for
the Record for details. )
3. Talked briefly with Bill Woodruff, Senate

McClellan had suffered a mild stroke last week which has left him with a
partial paralysis on one side of his face.

the Senate Foreign Relations ad hoc Subcommittee on U.S. Agreements
and Commitments Abroad, about the hearings on Laos scheduled for next

5. Met with Mrs. Oneta Stockstill, Executive
Secretary, House Armed Services Committee, who told me that no further
consideration has been given by the Committee to filling the vacancies in the
various subcommittees which were occasioned by the death of Representative
William Bates (R., Mass. ). It may be assumed that Representative Charles
Gubser (R., Calif.) will in all probability be named to the CIA Subcommittee,
but it may be some time before such decision is made by the Committee.

amendment of the Agency's retirement bill in consonance with the Daniels -

that the Chairman will be introducing amending legislation possibly this
afternoon to update the military retirement system in keeping with the
liberalized authority for cost of living increases set forth in the Daniels-
McGee bill. He told me it is anticipated that the House will accept the
McGee version on the floor tomorrow. As for our bill, Frank requested a
draft of the Agency's adaptation of the Daniels-McGee bill provisions together
with a draft of any additional provisions the Agency might desire for his
personal study. It is his opinion that it would be a waste of time to even
forward a copy of our draft, "Administrative Authority Amendment, " which
would authorize the Director to adopt future changes in civil service retire-
ment legislation. Such a measure could not hope for Committee passage at
this time, let alone passage by the House of Representatives.
7. Met with Miss Louise Ellis, House Armed
Services Committee staff, and reviewed with her the updating of security
clearances. Appropriate documentation was completed.
8. Met with Mr. Pat Holt, Consultant,
Senate Foreign Relations Committee, who advised that Senator J. Fulbright
(D. , Ark.) will be travelling to Trinidad as an official delegate of the United
States Senate to the Commonwealth Parliamentarian Meeting and should have
no need for support or assistance by the Agency during the visit.
Milrae Jensen, Staff Assistant, advised me later in the day that
Senators Fulbright and Marlow Cook (R., Ky.) will be accompanied by
Mr. Seth Tillman, Committee Consultant. The congressional delegation
will be departing for Trinidad on 14 October and returning to Washington on
19 October.

acting well within the authorities. He will so report to Chairman Moss.
Mr. Matteson expressed his appreciation for my meeting with him and
indicated once again that this type of problem is one of the most difficult
for the Chairman. As we closed he noted that the information provided
should be sufficient to avoid the necessity of a formal letter from the
Chairman to the Director on this matter.
