MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence
VIA Acting Deputy Director of Central Intelligence
FROM William W. Wells
Deputy Director for Operations
SUBJECT Request from Senator Morgan Regarding
Agency Files on CIA Program in Angola
REFERENCE Your Memorandum for the Record dated
21 July 1977
1. Upon the receipt of referenced memorandum, the Africa
Division issued instructions that all files - both official
and working or "soft" files - on Angola be maintained in their
current status, that no material be removed for any reason
whatsoever, and that access to such files he carefully
restricted.
2. The allegation that CIA carried on activities
regarding Angola after the Congressional directive to discon-
tinue them was carefully investigated in 1976 by the Investi-
gations and Survey Staff of the House Appropriations Committee.
This investigating staff was given access to our files on the
Angola program, including all aspects of the plans and steps
taken to disengage from covert action in Angola in early 1976.
The disengagement from Angola was carried out under the
direction of the Operations Advisory Group in compliance with
the Tunney-Javits Amendment.
