interested in employment with FBIS. Apparently the individual has a
pending application with the Agency and I offered to relay the interest in

American Activities, to discuss his request for an appearance by

to Smith the problems which such an appearance would create at this
time. Smith said he understood and added that he was confident he
could explain this to the Committee members who had expressed an
interest in having testify. We agreed that at such time as
might be available to appear before one of the Committees~HCUA would
have the prior claim to him. We pointed out, however, that
might elect to tell his story to the press and that we had no effective
way of precluding this. Should that situation develop, however, we would

letter, I checked on the availability of Robert Michaels, of the House
Appropriations Committee staff, and Representative Glenard Lipscomb.
Both Michaels and Lipscomb are on leave and are not expected back

2. Received a call from Chester D.
Smith, General Counsel of the House on Un-American Activities Committee,
regarding the case, making reference to the inter-
view with as reported in the Smith
said that several members of the Committee were anxious to have
appear before the Committee, preferably in open session, next Wednesday
or Thursday. He said the Committee and the staff would be willing to
work with us in any way and would abide by any restrictions we wish to
impose. He also said they would like to speak within advance of
his appearance and work out a script of questions and answers for his
appearance. I told Smith that as he knew this was a touchy situation and
I felt quite certain that an open session appearance was completely out
of the question, but that I would look into the matter and be back in touch
with him. Smith, who at one time held the position of Deputy Director,
Internal Security for the Department of the Army and was also a member
of the USIB Committee, said he appreciated that this would have to be
checked out, both within the Agency and the State Department. He said
while he appreciated that there were problems, he felt thatOtes-
timony would have an enlightening effect on U. S. public opinion.
Following my conversation with Smith I discussed the matter with
Mr. Karamessines and Colonel White and suggested that if we were flatly
opposed to any appearance by~a knowledgeable DDP officer accom-
pany me to a meeting with Smith in an effort to point out to him the very
negative aspects of such an appearance. It was agreed that we would
raise this with the Director in the morning. (Mr. Goodwin and

5. Howard Soloway, in the office of Repre-
sentative John J. McFall, called on behalf of a constituent to inquire
whether the Agency had any openings for language instructors. According
to Soloway their constituent is qualified to teach both Greek and Russian.
After checking with the Office of Personnel I advised Soloway that we had
no current openings for language instructors. I explained to him the
confusion which had arisen over an advertisement the Agency had placed in
a local paper for part-time instructors and the ultimate dissemination of
information about this advertisement in an article in the Wall Street Journal.
Soloway said his constituent had mentioned the Wall Street Journal article
and was pleased to have this clarified.
6. George Murphy, on the staff of the Joint
Committee on Atomic Energy, called to ascertain whether the Agency was
in a position to translate an article which appeared in the Danish newspaper
BT of 29 July concerning possible classified information found in a dump in
Denmark. I told Murphy I would check on this and let him know.
Mr. Murphy also expressed interest in a New York Times story
of 22 July 1968 on a Russian nuclear physicist, Andrey Sakharov. Murphy
is interested in any information we can provide on the origin of this
article
7. John Norpel, on the staff of the Senate
Internal Security Subcommittee, called to say that he had received a call from
Bill Grogan, on the detective squad of the Yonkers Police Department, indicating
that they had come across a white racist bulletin carrying the title "Where it
Is. " After checking Norpel had reason to believe that there was a definite
tie-in between this publication and one compiled by an Agency employee
entitled "Where's What. " Norpel said he suggested to Grogan that he contact
the Agency concerning this. Norpel merely wished to alert us to the fact
that he had referred Gro an to us. All of the above information was passed
on to of the Office of Security.
