48. (Internal Use Only - GLC) LIAISON Received a call

from Miss Sue Tinajero, former employee of the House Select Committee

on Assassinations, concerning a current Committee employee who has

been denied security clearances. (See Memorandum for the Record.)

49. (Confidential - GLC) LIAISON Received a call from

John Swanner, Staff Director, House Committee on Standards of Official

Conduct. He wanted to talk to me about means by which payment could

be effected by the Committee to current and former CIA employees for the

cost of their travel and other expenses to Washington for the purpose of

giving testimony to the Committee.

He was particularly interested in

the case of Mr. John Richardson, formef(COS Seoul) but said he was

also concerned about a number. of other cases of other individuals who

would have to be called back from abroad. We discussed several possibilities

and I told him I would talk with our Office of Finance people to see if some

arrangement could not be made whereby we could advance funds for the

cost of travel for these individuals and be reimbursed from the Committee

on a quarterly basis without the individuals' names appearing in any of

these records. (Swanner had said that the Committee's difficulty was

a procedural one, not one of principle. He had explained that all of the

Committee's records are subject to public review and any vouchers that

might be executed for a witness' travel would publicly identify that

individual.) I later discussed this situation with Jack Blake, A/DDCI,

Hugh Lacey and Warren Magnusson, OF, and they feel that suitable

arrangements can be worked out. Paul Garbler, OLC, will follow up

with the Office of Finance and other interested offices, such as the Office

of General Counsel and the DDO on this subject.
