Maury said that according to Frank Slatinshek, Chairman
Nedzi will rely on us rather heavily for support during his hearings
on the problem of classification and handling of Government
information (see Morning Meeting Minutes of 6 January 1972). The
Director encouraged Maury to see Chairman Nedzi next week, and
Houston suggested that the Chairman be provided with the Rehnquist
study.

DDP briefed on work underway to limit distribution of reports
and noted that C/FI is completing a review of
steps which might be taken to restrict dissemination of sensitive
reports from all sources.

Maury related that Frank Slatinshek is pressing for background
materials pertaining to past efforts or studies related to the
classification and control of information. He added that he and
Houston will meet with the Director later today to discuss the
availability of the Rehnquist study.

12 January 1972

Maury briefed on his and Houston's session with Frank
Slatinshek and their provision of a large volume of material on
past efforts to develop effective espionage M-laws.

Houston noted the President's nomination of Henry E. Petersen
to become Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Criminal
Division of the Justice Department. He observed that Mr. Petersen
has been most helpful to the Agency in the past, particularly
on the itkin case.

Maury noted that the draft revision of Executive Order 10501,
"Security Classification Procedures," which is being circulated
by the NSD staff for comment, is a follow on to the Rehnquist study.

members of the White House staff, David R. Young of the National
Security Council and Egil Krogh Jr. of the Domestic Council, were
asked to investigate earlier leaks and prevent recurrences.")
