INFORMATION IN BUFILES:
We have had several contacts with McCarthy since 1948, both as a
Congressman and as a Senator. Most of these have dealt with constituent-type
inquiries. Most inquiries have been handled by letters except those from indi-.
viduals known as "crackpots'" whereupon he has been advised orally.
While in the House of Representatives, he was one of the 17
members in the House who voted against the Jencks Bill on August 27, 1957.
(Jencks Bill dealt with production in court of FBI reports from informants and
witnesses. )
In December, 1962, in response to a letter from McCarthy, the
Director declined to address. the Minnesota Newspaper Association.
In May, 1966, Senator McCarthy, before the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, proposed a resolution establishing a Senate committee to oversee
activities of the CIA and to additionally have jurisdiction over all of what is known
as intelligence community. The resolution would replace the informal "watchdog
group" headed by Senator Richard B. Russell, with a 9-man standing committee
with three members each from Armed Services, Appropriations and Foreign
|Relations Committees. On 5-16-66, Assistant Director Sullivan discussed
