OFFICE OF LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL
Tuesday - 13 June 1972
1. (Internal Use Only - JGO) Met with Mr. Ray Dotson, Administrative
Assistant to Representative William C. Wampler (R. , Va. ), and gave him copies
of correspondence between Mr. John Ingersoll, D/BNDD, and Representative
Charles S. Gubser (R. , Calif. ); and Senator Clifford P. Hansen (R. , Wyo.)
and Miss Vicki Whitehorn, of the University of Wyoming, concerning allegations
published in Rampart's magazine concerning CIA and dope traffic. Mr. Dotson
thought this material would be more than adequate in responding to the
constituent request from Mr. J. H. Hayes, Jr. of Bristol, Va.
2. (Secret - JGO) Delivered to Mr. Ralph Preston, House Appropriations
Committee staff, for Chairman Mahon a letter from the Director concerning
a withdrawal from the reserves and briefed him orally on the purpose of the
withdrawal. Mr. Preston had no questions about the withdrawal. He did
inquire, however, about our progress on the spread sheet of tactical intelligence
costs. I told him that it is in preparation. He noted that the time press
occasioned by the original date for markup of the Military Appropriations bill
is now off but that he would appreciate it whenever it is completed.
3. (Internal Use Only - JGO) Met with Mr. Richard Barton, Employee
Benefits Subcommittee, House Post Office and Civil Service Committee, who
told me that the meeting of the full Committee has been cancelled for this week.
This leaves only one more possible meeting, 29 June, the day before recess for
the Democratic Convention, for Chairman Hanley to attempt to take the bill
for protection of constitutional rights for Federal employees (H. R. 111150) from
the table for vote by the Committee.
4. (Unclassified - JMM) Accompanied the Director and Messrs.
Steininger, ADD/S&T, Bruce Clarke, D/OSR, and Chamberlain, D/OSI, who
appeared before the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy. See Memo and
transcript.

7. (Internal Use Only - JMM) Called Miss Lynn Braydrick, in the office
of Representative Charles B. Rangel (D. , N. Y. ), in response to her query as to
the status of our reply to the Congressman's letter to the Director of 6 June.
I said a letter was en route to the Congressman which he should receive tomorrow
morning and which would answer his questions about the basis for our failure to
provide him with the reports he requested. I added that we were reviewing the
classification of all these reports and were optimistic that at least some of them
could be declassified and made available to the Congressman within the next two
or three days.

8. (Confidential - GLC) Received a call from DIA, 25X1
who said that during Secretary Laird's testimony before the Defense Sub-
committee of Senate Appropriations Committee Senator Symington commented
about the fact that Secretary Laird had provided for the open record figures
on Soviet missile inventory. He added these same figures were being treated
as classified and extremely sensitive by the Director of Central Intelligence
in testimony before another committee of which Symington was a member.
I explained to that Senator Symington was undoubtedly referring to
the Director's appearance in executive session before the Joint Committee
on Atomic Energy.
9. (Confidential - GLC) Talked to Bill Woodruff, Counsel, Senate
Appropriations Committee, about Senator Symington's comments at the
Defense Subcommittee meeting this afternoon and he verified that Senator
Symington had expressed his confusion over the fact that the same figures
were being treated as sensitive in one briefing and unclassified elsewhere.
Senator Symington also said the Director would be asked to testify before
congressional committees on U. S. national means of verification.
10. (Secret - GLC) Handcarried to the Joint Committee on Atomic
Energy 19 additional copies of the Director's prepared statement for the use
of the Committee members and staff during the Director's briefing today.
Following the briefing 18 of these copies were returned.

12. (Confidential - JMM) Bill Ashworth, of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee staff, called to say that the Committee would like to
schedule Mr. Helms to appear in Executive Session on SALT verification
at 10:00 a. m. on Tuesday, 20 June. He said that in the Executive Session
they would hope he could cover sensitive matters and provide exhibits, after
which they hoped he would discuss less sensitive aspects of the verification
problem in open session.
He said the Committee had scheduled Secretary Rogers and ACDA
Director, Smith, for Monday the 19th, Mr. Helms and I on
Tuesday the 20th, and Secretary Laird and the Joint Chiefs on the 21st.
I told Ashworth I would check with the Director and be in touch with him.
14. (Unclassified - JMM) Colgate S. Prentice, Deputy Assistant
Secretary of State for Congressional Relations (House), called to say that the
House Foreign Affairs Committee had defeated by one vote the 'tend the war"
provision in the Foreign Assistance Act of 1972.
