SUBJECT: Monthly Cable "Director's Report to the Field"
1. As mentioned at the Director's Staff Meeting of 26 September,
we are giving consideration to issuing a monthly cable "Director's
Report to the Field." The purpose is to pass on to the field informa-
tion which is readily available at Headquarters but somewhat difficult
to come by in the many remote areas at which our people serve. We would
see a format which had information on relations with the Congress, develop-
ments in the Executive Branch, significant press and public relations
STATINTL matters, etc.
f each month. Material to be forwarded should
(1) Congressional appearances of the DCI during the month.
(2) The introduction of any legislation in the Congress which
would impact on the Intelligence Community, the Agency, or on
individuals in their role as Federal employees.
b. From OGC:
(1) Information on Executive Order matters under consideration,
i.e., current work to replace E.O. 11905 and E.O. 11652.
(2) Any judicial decisions which address themselves to Agency
or Community matters.

interest and is not designed to be all-.inclusive. We ourselves will remain
sensitive and alert to other matters which could be included.

REQUESTS SO FAR THIS YEAR OVER 1976, AND THE UPWARD TREND
EXPERIENCED DURING THE YEAR APPEARS TO BE CONTINUING. ONE
RECENT REQUEST DEMONSTRATES THE PROBLEM RESULTING FROM
RELEASE` OF RAW INTELLIGENCE REPORTS. DOCUMENTS. RELEASED
TO THE AMERICAN PALESTINE COMMITTEE CONTAINED ALLEGATIONS
THAT IS=AELI FOREIGN MINISTER MOSHE DAYAN PERSONALLY
ORDERED THE ATTACK ON THE USS LIBERTY KNOWING IT WAS AN
AMERICAN VESSEL. ONE INTELLIGENCE MEMORANDUM RELEASED TO
THE COMMITTEE REFUTED THE ALLEGATION BUT THAT DOCUMENT WAS
NOT PUBLICIZED. UNEVALUATED REPORTS PARTICULARLY STEMMING
FROM HUMAN SOURCES ARE OFTEN SPECULATIVE AND MAY CONTAIN
SLANTED OR OUTRIGHT ERRONEOUS DATA. UNFORTUNATELY, INACCURACY
IS NOT A LEGAL BASIS FOR WITHHOLDING RECORDS REQUESTED UNDER
THE ACT-. OFTEN, MORE ACCURATE REPORTS WHICH TEND TO REFUTE
THE INFORMATION RELEASED TO THE-REQUESTER MAY HAVE TO BE
WITHHELD IN ORDER TO PROTECT SENSITIVE COLLECTION SYSTEMS.
THE RESULT IS THAT REQUESTERS DO NOT GET A BALANCED VIEW.
AS IN THE AMERICAN PALESTINE CASE, REQUESTERS MAY CHOOSE TO
PUBLICIZE ONLY DOCUMENTS WHICH SUPPORT THEIR CAUSE.

APPROXIMATELY 12,200 PAGES OF THE RECENTLY PUBLIC19ED
PROJECT MKULTRA FINANCIAL DOCUMENTS HAVE BEEN REVIEWED AND
RELEASED TO JOHN MARKS, VARIOUS NEWSPAPERS, AND OTHER
INTERESTED REQUESTERS.
EXPERIENCE WITH THIS MKULTRA FIND HAS SPAWNED AN
INTENSIVE EFFORT IN THE DDO TO REVIEW ALL RECORDS T.iOLDINGS:
AT THE RECORDS CENTER TO FIND AND SURFACE ANY SIMILAR
QUESTIONABLE ACTIVITIES SO THAT THEY DON'T SURPRISE US IN
THE FUTURE.
