Comment: This is a clear reflection of McCarthy-Fulbright
thinking. McCarthy, over the years, has exhibited firm accusations of
intelligence failure, policy making, and uncontrolled activities to a theme
of information supplied by the Agency affects policy decisions.
2. Page 2, column 4, paragraph beginning "Senator Eugene J.
McCarthy ....it
Comment: This paragraph is slanted in that the article picks up
charges of years ago by McCarthy which are not being made today and
combines it with McCarthy's current attack of a proposal to study the
effects of CIA on foreign relations.

Comment: Senator Young's current proposal is a select Senate
committee composed of members of Foreign Relations, Armed Services,
and Appropriations.
4. Page 2, column 4, paragraph beginning "Mayor Lindsay of
New York.... "
Comment: Somewhat as in the case of McCarthy, Lindsay's earlier
barrages referred to fiascoes but lately,while not giving up the joint
committee thought, toned down considerably the wild and reckless charges
of failures and uncontrolled operations.
5. Page 3, column 1, two paragraphs beginning "If the establishment

Comment: Looking to Congress for a remedy is a thought shared by
many people. In fact, roughly half of lzthe current sponsors of joint committee
resolutions have done so not with the thought of controlling CIA but with the
thought of helping it.

Comment: Giving statistics for the last 19 years to support how
little is known about the Agency today, could be considered slanted reporting.

Further, of the 150 resolutions these in fact represent a corps of
about 30 individual members who are repeaters over the years and,
as indicated, about half of the 15 resolutions in the current Congress
are from people who believe this would help the Agency.
7. Page 3, column 1, paragraph beginning "A former chairman of

Comment: In the first place there is no reason for the Chairman
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to know the size of the CIA budget. The second
sentence about a Senator experiencing foreign affairs knowing little about
but fearing CIA operations, proves little since he was not on our Subcommittee,
and it is doubted that he knows much more about the details of the Atomic
Energy program. This could well be a McCarthy view but could be views
of a few other Senators.

nineteen-fifties...."
Comment: This statement is totally incorrect in its implications.
The Agency did in fact request a $30 million appropriation which was
included in the budget of another agency. However, it was not knocked
out because of Congressional befuddlement but because at that time the
Agency did not have a building site, plans, or any other detail necessary
to justify the appropriation.
2. Page 4, column 1, paragraph beginning "Almost without
exception...."
Comment: Praise of CIA people overseas has been stated publicly
by Symington, Milton Young, Stennis and privately by many people including
the fact that they were better than those in the State Department.

Special article by E. W. Kenworthy on 26 April 1966
a. Page 1, column 4, paragraph beginning "A small group of
Senators...."
Comment: The paragraph concludes that the CIA Subcommittee
was
meeting/to discuss whether the committee should be enlarged and
surveillance tightened. This is inaccurate since the Subcommittee was
meeting to consider Senator Fulbright's written proposal that Senate
Foreign Relations Committee members be permitted to sit with the
CIA Subcommittee.

Comment: This is a distortion of the joint committee proposals
over the years and it is only very recently that the twist has been put
on expanding existing Subcommittees to include Foreign Relations and
Foreign Affairs members.

Comment: As indicated above, calling of the meeting by Russell
was to consider how to respond to Fulbright's letter.

Comment: This was a gross distortion of the purpose of the
Russell meeting and also conveniently ignores Saltonsta.11's statement
of the facts on the NSU matter which was published on
days before this article itself, It is noted that a few paragraphs
n the column Ken worthy refers to a letter from Fulbright.

Comment: This is practically a verbatim paragraph which
appeared in the April 25 article. See comment under item 2 of that
date.
f. Page 5, column 2, paragraph beginning "The resolution had
34 co-sponsors...."
Comment: It is stated that support or the Mansfield resolution
evaporiated under the opposition of Russell and Saltonstall who agreed with
Dulles that the joint committee might jeopardize security. This ignores
Senator Hayden's expressed optioisition including a dissenting view on the
Rules Committee report of this resolution and implies that Dulles actively
campaigned against the joint committee which he did not.

Comment: This is regarded as a slanted statement conveniently
ignoring Russian trawlers off the U. S. coast, Guam, and Soviet
satellites. An impression is created that CIA and the United States
are immoral in the technological field.
2. Page 4, column 4, beginning with the sentence ". .. And it
can quietly lobby for support inside the Government and among influential
members of Congress and with the President...."
Comment: As to lobby with the Congress, the most frequently
heard criticism is that CIA does not keep the Congress informed. If actively
working to brief the CIA Subcommittees is lobbying, then we are guilty.

Comment: This is a clear reflection of McCarthy-Fulbright
thinking. As they have become educated, they recognize that CIA is
not in fact uncontrolled but have stated that by its very capabilities and
knowledge will on occasion fill a vacuum of policy.

Comment: Here specifically is the charge that Dulles cut away
14 of Mansfield's co-sponsors. This is completely inaccurage. Dulles took
no active position.
4. Page 2, column 2, paragraph beginning "A year later the second

Comment: This is inaccurage. It was a year prior to the
Mansfield resolution that the Hoover Commission recommended a congressional
joint committee.
5. Page 4, column 3, paragraph beginning "While the Ambassador

Comment: This 'is a. distortion of the Jackson Subcommittee report
which incidentally was published in 1963 not 1962 as stated in the New York Times
The ,r9port, spqoi,..fically says, "To a degree the primacy of the Ambassador
a--olite fiction especially where budgetary. and programming decisions
are concerned. Most elements of the country team do not, in other words,
regard them,selves as parts of the Ambassador's staff -- rather they look
outside the couqtry, to interrriediate headquarters or Washington for
guidance and support and their loyalties tend to run in the same direction.
Nevertheless, it is apparent that a strong Ambassador can pull them together
and exert great influence."

Comment: This leak of secret testimony before Senate Foreign
Relations has been in the press before with other quotations from the
transcript. Certain sources have attributed this leak to Senator McCarthy.
7. Page 5, column 1, paragraph beginning "The Times survey
indicated...."
Comment: The view that a joint committee would do the Agen cy
more harm than good is in fact the predominant view on the Hill and it is
interesting that on this key issue the TIMES verified the feeling generally.

L Page 1, column 2, paragraph beginning UNevertheless, because
of his.
Comment: This is a gross distortion of a simple request by
Senator Saltonstall to the Agency asking if we could suggest a knowledgeable
individual who could assist the Subcommittee in developing facts. Russell Fee
was made available and during the six months or so he was there it was
a complete arm's length relationship with Fee functioning purely as an
employee of the Subcommittee.
2. Page 1, column 3, paragraph beginning "Mr. Dulles kept
personal control...."
Comment: This is a serious charge and wholly inaccurate.
Rather than impune Dulles, however, it seems to me it impunes the
integrity of the four Subcommittee Chairmen involved. Note: In the
TIMES editorial of the same day, this point is put as follows: "Choice
of members of these Subcommittees extraordinarily enough has been
substantially influenced by the CIA itself. It This is completely inaccurate.

3. Page 1, column 4, paragraph beginning "Like Mr. Dulles,

It
Comment: The point made is that McCone resisted a formal
watch dog committee and courted senior members of Armed Services
and Appropriations. Mr. McCone devoted no energy to resisting a joint
committee. He took the position that this was a matter for the Congress
to determine. As to courting senior members, he devoted considerable
energy to keeping our Subcommittee members currently informed of Agency
activities and intelligence matters. The continuing charge, of course, is that
we did not inform them and by informing them the TIMES .turns this into
courting them.
4. Page 2, column 1, paragraph beginning "When the President

Comment: This again is the Dominican Republic issue and relates
to the leak from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. The position
asserted by the TIMES is one which Fulbright and McCarthy appear to
believe.

5. Page 2, column 2, paragraph beginning "The far more general
belief...."
Comment: The charge that the Agency tells our Subcommittees
only what it wishes to tell is simply untrue. There have been many
statements by CIA Subcommittee members including Russell, Mahon,
and Rivers that the Agency has always responded candidly.
6. Page 2, column 3, paragraph beginning "Mr. McCone met
about once a month...."
Comment: This paragraph is substantially true. In 1965 we met
with our Subcommittees as follows:
CIA Subcommittee of House Armed Services 10
CIA Subcommittee of House Appropriations 13
Combined CIA Subcommittees of Senate
Armed Services and Senate Appropriations 11
7, Page 2, column 3, paragraph beginning "There are conflicting
opinions...."
Comment: The statement of no precise information on budget
or number of employees and that the Director reveals only as much as
he wants to probably refers to some public statements by Congressman
Norblad who served on the Subcommittee for only two years and attended
only a few meetings. These statements are inaccurate since we furnished
the type of information specified in whatever detail is requested.

8. Page 2, column 3, paragraph beginning "These conflicting
views.
Comment: As to the Senate being "lackadaisical" and "apathetic"
and Senators not wanting to know too much, this probably refers to a
public statement at one point by Senator Saltonstall who was trying to
assert the sensitivity of certain Agency activities and used an unfortunate
choice of words to the effect that he did not wish to know too much because
he might slip and endanger lives.
9. Page 2, column 3, paragraph beginning "Representative
George H. Mahon...."
Comment: The use of the word "warned" is a distortion since
Mahon has stated that we control our funds far more stringently than any
other agency. Mahon's real point was the Agency's work was so important
that it should have the types of controls which in fact do exist.
10. Page 2, column 4, paragraph beginning "As a result of this
and other. � "
Comment: The implication of the statement was that the Congress
has slashed the "slush fund". This is totally inaccurage. The reserve fund
has never been cut by the Congress and there have been only two reductions
by the Congress to my knowledge in the operating budget and these were
very small.

II. Page 2, column 4, paragraph beginning "One is that the

Comment: The statement is inaccurate in that they are informed
of certain operations before and during the progress and the limiting factor
is simply interest and time.
12. Page 2, column 4, paragraph beginning The second point
regarding...."
Comment: As to shielding CIA from its critics, examination
of the recod will show little public shielding until very recently and to
the same extent that committee members are relied upon by other members
in other fields or Subcommittee members are relied upon by most of the
other members of Congress.
13. Page 2, cp1Q-nn 4, paragraph beginning "Finally, even these
establishment watchdogs. .
_ _
Comment: As to their being told what the Director thinks they should
know, this is false. As stated before, many of our Subcommittee members and
the Chairmen have repeatedly stated that the Agency Directors have been
frank and candid and respond fully. The reference to members shying away
from too much secret information probably stems from Senator Saltonstall's
public statement. See point number of April 1966.

14. Page 3, column 1, the entire section entitled "A Fountain of
Leaks."
Comment: The concensus as stated by the TIMES in supporting
the idea the Congress should control the CIA, I regard as remarkable
frankness on the TIMES' part since this does jibe with our own opinions
certainly of the congressional view of this. They then proceed to discuss
some of the very real issues involved in a joint committee. On security,
they mention that Congress is a fountain of leaks which, in private, the
Congress itself has been the greatest critic. In discussing the joint
committee as not being a desirable model they are picking up a widespread
feeling that the joint committee has gone too far.

Comment: The inference to be drawn is that in Congress there has
been a serious move to legislate separation of intelligence and operations.
There has never been such a legislative proposal introduced.
16. Page 3, column 3, paragraph beginning "Along this line is the

Comment: This is slightly inaccurate in that McCarthy has not
proposed a subcommittee of Senate Foreign Relations should be added but
only that one or two members be permitted to attend meetings.

Comment: Here again is the Dominican Republic matter which
includes, as was indicated, the McCarthy-Fulbright view.
19. Page 4, column 1, paragraph beginning "One reason the

Comment: Undoubtedly one attribute of Admiral Raburn was his
ability to work with Congressmen but it is slanted reporting to refer to
this as "molify."

Comment: The thrust of this is that questioning "dirty tricks"
and force leaves the United States Government with no honor. Undoubtedly,
this is focusing on the Fulbright view that force per se is immoral.

21. Page 5, quote from Bissell.
Comment: This point that when the Government resorts to force
should not cause an attack on CIA which is the instrument, undoubtedly
along with other expressions of control of CIA have been a significant
factor in the shifting views of at least McCarthy and Fulbright and few of
the others who have attacked the Agency in the past. There is increasing
recognition that the Agency is responsive to our Government and is not
making policy. Thus, the attack has veered away from the Agency directly
to less extreme lines of a joint committee, participation by members of
Foreign Relations, and other approaches.
