369. From Johnson.

Some members congressional group here for Atomic Energy Conference have indicated to Claxton desire obtain information from me re my talks with Wang.

Claxton and I inclined feel probably useful if I do not (repeat not) get ahead of whatever Department is doing keep Foreign Affairs and Foreign Relations Committees informed.

If Department approves I would propose talk rather fully about what has happened thus far on civilians including representation proposal I made yesterday and confine myself to reference material Secretary’s press conference on other problems.

Tomorrow is probably last day group will be here.

Would appreciate Department’s instructions and guidance.

Gowen
