(Ii///4-We1 Progress on CADRE:
(L3/44444+rScnior CDC personnel attended a CADRE demonstration in preparation for a CADRE Pilot The demonstration
�vhich occurred over two days, 7 and 10 January, was designed as an evaluation of CADRE's readiness to begin the Pilot
CADRE---CIA Declassification Review Environment�is a replacement for the current declassification review systems,
IW AS and MORI, supporting 25-year declassification and FOIA/MDR/etc., respectively. Thc system performed \veil
enough for a management decision to proceed with the pilot. There was an excellent exchange and numerous functional
enhancements �verc raised and documented. It is fair to say that most attendees �vcrc pleasantly surprised \vial the current
slate of CADRE and the progress made by the development team. We look forward to the Pilot, �vhich will involve about a
half dozen or so reviewers and over pages of Tatman Library materials �vhich will be subjected to the normal review
process The process and reviewer assessment \ill be carefully monitored in the process of evaluating readiness for CADRE

(U//,(14�fretrAs the scheduled 30 January clion in Iraq approaches--and \Hai speculation that the results may pave the vvav
for a theocratic government there and with Bin Ladin's exhortation that voting would be a sin--some of the translated excerpts
given to the ADDI arc worth noiing.
�"Government in Islam .. is, in fact; constitutional; not; however, in the commonly imdcrstood sense of
constitutionalism but in thc sense that those in power arc bound by a group of conditions and principles made clear in
Koran and by the example of the Prophet Muhammad The difference between Islamic government and constitulional
government -- whether monarchical or republican -- lies in the fact that in the latter system, it is the representatives of the
people or those of the king �vho legislate and make laws. Whereas; the actual authority to legislate belongs exclusively to
God." (pp 41-42)
ii is the religious expert (faqih) and no one else �vho should occupy himself irs of government...
He should implement the canonical punishments, just as the Prophet did; and he should mic according to God's revelation."
(p. 70)
the government; authority,: and management over the people, as well as the collection and expenditure of
revenues has been entmsted to the religious experts. Verily, God \yin punish and call to account anyone �vho takes issue v
their authority." (p. 80)
--" Want a niler who would cut off the hand of his own son if he steals; and would flog and stone his near re la
if he fornicates." (D. 124)
(ti/4411-11r Longest Day:
(Li/ ILi ) From the Ford Library comes an "Information flee from Henry Kissinger to the President; dated 1 May 1975;
apparently referring to the last day of the evacuation from Saigon: "Slatistics on Evacuation from South Vietnam: A
complete breakout of evacuees brought out of South Vietnam on Tuesday shows the following:
o A total of 6,96X American citizens and Vietnamese were evacuated;

In addition. twenty Americans reached the ships on their own from Saigon and eighteen from the consulate at Can Tho."
aNlICO) Critique of a Cold Warrior:
(Eh AIL ) Then-Colonel William E. Odom Baler General Odom and head of the National Security Agency) wrote a
memorandum to Robert Gates (later DDI and DCI) while both served on the National Security Council staff in the
last months of the Carter Administration. Odom was exercised about a CIA paper on LS-Soviet relations. He
criticized the paper's "non-V1arxist/Leninist view of detente." said it "leaves out completely the Soviet strategy for
using the Cubans and for joint operations with the Vietnamese." while ignoring Soviet "recklessness" in challenging
detente in Asia, the Persian Gulf. and Southeast Asia. He said it was "appalling" that CIA analysts described "Soviet
massive territorial [sic] acquisitions [sic] in the Baltic. Eastern Poland, parts of Czechoslovakia and Hungary,
Moldavia, and large parts of Karelia as a quest for security." Soviet behavior, he said. "can only be described as
Soviet expansionism and hcgemonism." His final comment was that the rather benign assumptions in the CIA paper
reflect no grasp at all of Soviet political dynamics."
(U//34+441-(.110ir "Cold �varriors" among military officers and DoD officials often criticited DI Soviet
analysis during the 1970s and 1980s as "soft" on Communism and its ambitions. Nevertheless, neither side in
the long-standing, broad-ranging debate was able to give timely warning of the collapse of Communism in
Eastern Europe almost exactly ten ycars later \\then the Berlin Wall fell.
(C/,',11110) Intelligence Priorities and Sports:
(U/4-1t7Ittr A In November 1973 cable from the White House situation room to traveling Secretary of State Kissinger
presented several articles from the NSC's classified "Noon Report," but also provided the SecSlate with a list of the results of
the weekend's NFL games.

(U/IMUO) RAC Teams:
(Uhk-H44)- The RAC-SRC Team is reviewing Eisenhower, Kennedy, Nixon, and Ford Presidential Library
documents. A hold has been placed on Johnson Library documents pending resolution of PDB issues. The
SRC-RAC Team is also reviewing a number of the "Studies in Intelligence" books from the DI, DA, DCI Teams and
Pre-Presidential Reagan documents from the Reagan Library. The RAC-IP Team is reviewing Carter Library
documents.
(U/horfte) Non-RAC Teams:
(UHAIU0) Members of the non-RAC teams actively participated in feedback to a major CADRE demonstration. We also
processed a considerable amount of DI and Congressional material.

(U/444440.) NARA Operations Team:
(U//*Itle)-Reviewers are working State Department boxes, and technicians are entering the results into the database.
(U7) UO) Interagency Referral Center:
(UHAIU0) Currently the NARA team is working projects in both the new Interagency Referral Center (using NARA's
ADRRES system to enter declassification decisions) and the hardcopy center. The new center is an ongoing series of
projects. Because NARA has not yet provided reports from their system that CIA can enter into its database, no certification
has been done and no projects have been closed out. As the hardcopy center retains paper project listings, the team is able to
review, certify and close out projects there while inputting appropriate records for the CIA database. For the January
hardcopy center project, boxes have CIA equity. Of the had been previously worked and required only a memo
indicating CIA's satisfaction with the review results
(II7,441-F19)-CWE Connectivity:
(UHAIU0) Although the pertinent equipment was delivered and set up last week, the lack of proper cabling and phone
programming has delayed the connectivity for at least two weeks.
