3. A taomber of Representative Hiestand's office has requested
comments on this same matter. orally the staff man was advise
could offer no further comment than had appeared in the press. He was
satisfied with this but requested that we furnish him such advice in
writing so he could reply to the constituent. We have received a written

Mr. lday s advice and guidance on appropriate
em to be a first step prior to taking any action
ass. Action by Mr. Kilday might possibly include issuing
or when Congress reconvenes to the effect that Kilday
rbcomnriittee have been reviewing the activities of CIA in the
session of the 86th -gress and that this review will continue during
Rd session at which time, the Subcommittee will consider such
es as they deem appropriate.
6. Action with the Senate Preparedness Investigating Subcommittee
could be relatively simple by furnishing Kenneth Be Lieu, the Staff
Director, with an appropriate briefing and probably no further queries
would come from that source, You might also wish to consider discussion
of this matter with Senator Richard B. Russell. In any event an impression
has been created to the minds of many members, of Congress and
Mr. Dial's guidance (and possibly Senator Rusaeil's} should be sought
ea what further stops seem appropriate.
