At the Cabinet Family talk on 12 April, President said:
-- Before became President was concerned about reputation and
professionalism of CIA and Intelligence Community, but since be?ng ?r
White House and responsible above anyone else for nation's security,
has been highly impressed with competence, objectivity and ability of
Intelligence Community to give him accurate, unbiased, complete analv::E_c
important to him and other Cabinet members.
-- Professionalism of CIA plesant surprise to him. Commenved ;r
prompt and meaningful support. For example, when reads PDB, wri~es
question in margin and next day has answer.
-- Absolutely crucial we maintain capability for covert action -
in case we ever find ourselves in a state of conflict with another
nation, must have instant ability to address the problem.
-- Looked at analyses made by Intelligence Oversight Board for
12 months and absolutely no illegalities or improprieties being peer-
petrated by CIA.
-- If all Americans knew what he knew about present function of
Intelligence Community, there would be an alleviation of concern and
nothing to be ashamed of.
-- Has much surer sense of making right decisions about our
national security because of growing trust in capability of CIA and
other intelligence counsels.

What have we done and can we do for Mrs. Carter?
Biographic information on foreign personalities.
CIA provides information which is incorporated into
briefing package on Official and State visitors. While
we often have more on officials than their spouses, we
provide biographic and personality information.
General foreign information:
Fact Book (copies available)
Chief of State and Cabinet Ministers - monthly list of
Who's what (copies available)
Maps (Zaire available)
Reports on -
Areas you plan to visit
Special subjects: health statistics, coverage of
mental health-conference, etc.
(Of special interest: We have material and can giv4-
briefing on excellent Soviet mental health
delivery program which includes local psychiatrist
who visits factories, homes, supervises rehab-li-
tation of workers, etc. Conversely, we can supi,ly
material on Soviet abuse of psychiatry and need for
safeguards.)

III. Bad Results
A. Many sensitive and worthwhile intelligeaca activities
have been compromised, and subsequently abandoned.
B. Lives of dedicated Americans and friends of America ;has* Only
crime was their honorable service to this nation wera put
danger, at least one lost.
C. The credibility/reliability of U. S. intelligence reLitio x
with foreign governments is questioned. Both Americans
non-Americans are more reluctant to confide informat-orj
organization which in the future might be helpless to pr,-eypnt their
relationship from being known. Contacts are lost, irforrazr,n is
not conveyed, and. in the end, the United States suffers. is--10 yeay-a-
D. Finally, these various revelations give rise to a lot of
misinformation which, like most gossip is virtually impof:s _ I.ec
to refute successfully without disclosing sensitive inform o-ion
IV. Secrecy Paradox
Borderline between openness in our society all desire
Too many secrets can endanger fabric society -- by _iri_viti-ag ab,ses.,
Too little secrecy may endanger our.-,freed= because others mao~ t-rer to-
take advantage of us.
Today too much media irresponsible - with respect to sec?-ets -
It assumes any secret is evasion -
Undoubtedly classify too much - invite disregard

Continual struggle -
