OFFICE OF LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL
Wednesday - 28 May 1969
1. In response to a direct request from
Senator Stuart Symington (D. , Mo.) and, with the Director's approval,
Mr. Carl Duckett, DD/5&T, is calling on the Senator this afternoon.
2. On the Director's instructions I called
Mr. Ed Braswell, on the sta of the Senate Armed Services Committee,
and Mr. William Woodruff, on the staff of the Senate Appropriations
Committee, to insure that they had passed to Chairmen Stennis and
Russell respectively, an item from the Chicago Daily News indicating
that Senator Fulbright was about to make a speech on the ABM question
based largely on classified information provided by the Agency.
Mr. Braswell had passed this information to Chairman Stennis.
Mr. Woodruff said that Chairman Russell had been out of town but he
would pass it to the Chairman upon his return tomorrow.
Mr. Roland Paul, Counsel for the
3.
Symington Subcommittee of the Senate Forei__~n Relations Committee which
has been looking into U. 5. overseas installations, called to request an
Agency briefing preparatory to a trip which he and his colleague, Mr.
Walter Pincus, plan to make to the Far East. Mr. Paul said they will
be leaving about 25 June and would like the briefing sometime during the
week of I6 June. They plan to visit Japan, Okinawa, Korea, Taiwan,
Thailand, Laos, and the Philippines and would like about aone-hour
briefing on each, covering mainly political and security problems and
including a prognosis of future developments. They will also receive
briefings from State and Defense, but would like to get a fairly full picture
from the Agency even though it might duplicate some of the things which
they might hear from other agencies. They will come to Headquarters for
the briefings and will hope to complete them on the same day.
Mr. Paul will call again in mid-June to set a firm date and
arrange further details.
