MEMORANDUM FOR:

FROM:
BOB WOLTHUIS RKW
SUBJECT:
House Government Operations Committee
Investigation of Presidential Helicopters
One day last week Bill Gulley received a call from a Mr. Richard Barnes
on the Government Operations Subcommittee on Legislation and National
Security requesting that he be allowed to come down and discuss with Gulley
use of the Presidential helicopters. Gulley told him that this had to be
cleared through the Congressional Relations office and had Mr. Barnes call
me. Barnes stated that their intention was to merely review how the chopers
were used and that in his view it was a routine investigation. I told him
I saw no problem with that and that from our viewpoint Mr. Gulley could
talk with him.
Bill called today and had a discussion with Mr. Stevens who is listed
as a professional staff member on the committee who was much more
direct and pushey in his request. He apparently wanted to discuss all
usage of the aircraft and Gulley told him that some of the missions are
classified. With this Stevens became indignant and told Gulley that he
would have him before the committee in short time to testify the use of
the helicopters. Bill has made no further commitments and I thought
before we get any further in dealing with the committee staff we should
bring this to the attention of you and Phil Buchen.
