          NEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD

          SUBJECT:   DCI Meeting with Chairman Boland of HPSCI,.5 Dec. 1978


               At the Director's request, he met with Chairman Boland accompanied
          by the Legislative Counsel in the HPSCI offices.  He asked to brief the
          Chairman alone on two private matters.

               1.  With respect to the first, the Kampiles Case, the DCI informed
          Chaixman Boland of the sensitive source- information involved in the case
          after the Chairman indicated that he was interested'in this information.
          The DCI reminded Chairman Boland that the DDCI had offered to brief him
          when the Kampiles Case first broke but that the Chairman had not deemed
          it necessary to receive the information at that time.  After the comuni-
          cation, Chairman Boland agreed with the DCI that it might be best not to
          brief Mr. Mazzoli or other Members of the Committee.  The DCI informed
          the Chairman that he might have some personal difficulty with Mr. Mazzoli
          on the question during his first appearance in the New Year, but it was
          agreed that the DCI would be able to make his explanations. ( S  )

               2.  The DCI briefed Chairman Boland on a personal matter and indi'cated
          that he had briefed Chairman Bayh on the same question.  ( C  )

               3.  Messrs Latimer and O'Neil joined the meeting at this point.  The
          DCI discussed the Iranian situation, the alleged intelligence failure and
          the hand-vritten memo from the President.  He indicated that the President's
          displeasure had not been directed at him personally, but at the subject of
          political reporting in general, both overt and covert, and Chairman Boland
          described the answer which he had given to ABC News a week ago on this point.
          The Chairman had apparently stated that political reporting was an Embassy
          function And not one solely the responsibility of the Intelligence Community.
          (C)
               4.  Charters:  The DCI asked HPSCI to get involved in the Charters
          questions at an early stage and not wait for the Senate to finish its work.
          Because of the Church Committee legacy there are likely to remain some
          important differences between the Senate and the Administration on Charters
          questions on which the DCI stated it would be helpful to have the HPSCI
          view during the negotiation process.  Tom Latimer then asked that we make
          sure we keep him. supplied with all the position papers that have been developed
          by the Working Group which we agreed to do. ( C  )

               5.  Finally, the DCI discussed the Authorization Bill and our hope that
          an FOIA repealer and a provision permitting our security people to carry guns
          be included. ,Mike O'Neill later called back to obtain our language on these
          questions which we have agreed to supply him.( C   )

                    From the standpoint of the Committee, Chairman  oland asked
          whether we had had any extensive involvement with SAVAK during the reporting
          period on Iran.  The answer was negative with respect to Iranian domestic
                                                                               - -
