Dear Mr. Chairman:
I E"Cudvo PWS.Istry
7~/
Thank you for your letters of November 29 and December 20, 1976,
received on 5 January 1977, acknowlec?rling our notification on releases
of funds from our Reserve for Contingencies.
we have now received Office of 1anagement and Budget approval for
the release of from the Reserve for Contingencies for funding
of the Presiden ialr inr, ing of December 3, 1976. Our notification to the
Committee of this fact is furnished in the interest of keeping the Committee
fully and currently informed with respect to withdrawals from the Reserve.
As you know, the notification and briefing process of the Committee
on operations requiring Presidential Findings under the Flughes-Ryan
Amendment and involving withdrawal from the Contingency Reserve are
overlapping. First, when a Finding is made the Co mittee is immediately
notified of that fact, the country involved and the amount and source of
funding required. Second, at the convenience of the Committee the
Director of Central Intelligence provides a more detailed report on the
scope and description of the operation. Finally, the Committee is notified
of the fact that the Office of Management and Budget has approved a
release from the Reserve for Contingencies and the amount approved.
I believe the procedures outlined, above assure that the Committee
is kept fully and currently informed on these matters and provide in a
timely fashion the information required by the Committee to fulfill its
responsibilities.
I would like to take this opportunity to note my observation that
Agency officers and members of your Committee and staff have a very close
and candid working relationship. I am confident that this kind of
cooperation will continue to the benefit of both the Agency and the Committee.

IN REPLY PLEASE
REFER TO R#6614
Adm. Stansfield Turner
Director of Central Intelligence Designate
Central Intelligence Agency
Washington, D. C. 20505
I have received the November 30 letter of Mr. Cary
indicating the opposition of the CIA to the release to
Ambassador Edward M. Korry of his executive session
testimony of February 24, 1976 before the Senate Select
Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect
to Intelligence Activities.
It is my intention to raise the question of providing
Mr. Korry with a copy of his testimony with the full Select
Committee on Intelligence. For this purpose I would like
to have your objections to specific portions of the testi-
mony, release of which you believe would jeopardize
national security or intelligence sources and methods.
25X1
The Select Committee staff has reviewed the Korry
transcript and marked certain portions for deletion. Among
these are those portions suggested by the CIA in a letter
to Senator Church of March 31, 1976. The staff has also
marked certain language related to 25X1
25X1
which apparently was overlooked in t He Agency's initial
revi e staff marked for deletion the names
of I Iwhen it appeared that Ambassador Korry
himse wis e to have these people protected.

I am providin& you again with a copy of the transcript
and with a copy of the deletions discussed above so that
the Agency will have every opportunity to express its views
as to the release of the transcript or any portions of
the transcript. I hope, however, that you will attempt to
be as specific as possible in your comments. The Committee's
release of his transcript to Ambassador Korry would not
constitute an endorsement of his testimony, but it would
raise the possibility that the transcript would be read by
persons not cleared for access to classified material. I
am concerned, therefore, that specific facts not now
publicly known, release of which is likely-to be substan-
tially harmful to the national security or to the personal
security of any person, should be deleted from the trans-
cript prior to its release. I would appreciate your
assistance.

This is in response to your request of 5 November 1976 for
the position of this Agency on the release to former Ambassador
Korry of his 24 February 1976 testimony before the Senate Select
Committee on Government Operations with Respect to Intelligence
Activities. As your letter indicates, in April of this year CIA
objected to release of any part of this testimony to former Ambassador
Korry. Our position has not changed. Release to former Ambassador
Korry is equivalent to public release. This Agency has consistently
opposed the public release and discussion of sensitive intelligence
operations, such as the program discussed in considerable detail in
this testimony. This position is consistent with the responsibility of
the Director of Central Intelligence to protect intelligence sources and
methods t ruin unauthorized disclosure and the view of this Agency that.
public discussion of such activities simply is contrary to the interests
of the Goveernment.
Sincerely,
George L. Cary

The Horiorable George Bush
Director of'Central Intelligence
Washington, D. C.
Dear George:
As you know, the Budget. Subcommittee of.the
Senate Select Committee on Intelligence will begin
the formal budget authorization process toward the
end of January. In anticipation of these delibera-
tions, the Subcommittee felt it would be to our mutual
benefit if the Intelligence Community was advised' 'of
our expectations in this regard.
The Subcommittee would like to initiate the pro-
cess with the DCI presenting two substantive brief-
ings in late January. The first should be a_ broad
intelligence appraisal of the activities of foreign
states which impact on our national security. In
particular, the presentation should emphasize
significant developments in foreign nation activities
in the past year, areas of 'special concern to U. S.
national security-in/the future, and how ?intelli-'
gence can and cannot contribute to these areas.
The second briefing should present a general appraisal
of the state of U. S. intelligence. Emphasis here
should be focused on major substantive issues facing
intelligence planning and current management --- such
as: gaps and limitations in intelligence support to
decisionmakers; the changes in foreign developments
and U. S. decisionmaker needs which are or will impose
new demands on intelligence; current and projected
intelligence capabilities; and the implications of
