The Office of Inspector General did not involve
DoJ in the preparation of the Report, but the Department was
provided a copy as soon as it was produced because one important
Recommendation calls for the Agency's General Counsel to request
a current legal opinion from DoJ. Following review of the Report
by DoJ, the Attorney General asked Assistant Attorney General
Goldsmith to communicate the Department's observations to the DCI
and to me.
DoJ requested. in its memorandum that we make
certain changes to the Report itself. Although we determined
this to be impracticable, we believe it important that the
Intelligence Oversight Board have the benefit of DoJ's views as
you consider the Report.
Sincerely,
APPROVED FOR RELEASE ^
