He said that the editors of the per had been in contact with him again about this. They had informed him, he added, that if he was unable to see you personally they planned to put together an article on you from their backgro files. 4.

One alternative to Congres- sional surveillance is more ex- pliclit responsibility by the President and the Secretary of State. But this, too, presents a problem. The C.I.A. is a "dirty" operation and the. President and the Secretary, of State have to stay "clean." Unpleasant things done in a cynical world are rarely ad- mitted by heads of state. And two, exceptions, the , U-2 af- fair' and the Bay of Pigs, both harmed the position of 'the President of the United States. As the glamour of the black arts decreases,. the boldness of Congress will grow. Yet the dilemma has no completely satisfactory` solution: secret intelligence is ? defeated by publicity; democracy is de-. feated by not enough.
