The battle over strategic intelligence structure and functions
seems to be at peak intensity. You are certainly making waves, as
befits a sailor, and I hope you are making progress!
I wish I had an opportunity to counsel with you and your
staff with a view to supporting from outside of government the
legitimate goals of coordinated central intelligence. I have con-
sulted your staff several times in the past month to see if you
ever have any time for sympathetic old hands, so far with no
response. Hence I am writing to say that if you can think of
any way in which I can be helpful to the intelligence community,
please let me know.
Cordially,
Ray S. Cline

f Dear Stan,
Our staffs have blocked out the evening of September 28th for
your Forrestal Lecture. You are scheduled to. begin talking at 7:30 p.m.
and should be completed by 8:30 p.m. Our normal format provides about
20-30 minutes for your address, followed by about 20 minutes of questions
from the floor. We will, of course, make any adjustments you desire.
Betty Ann and I would also like to host a small dinner party
for you and Pat, either just before or just after the lecture. The
choice will depend on the demands of your schedule. You might also prefer
to remain overnight as our guests, and depart by helo early the next
morning. We would be honored-to have you both in our home and it would
give me a chance-to tell you how we're doing-alt USNA.
I will have Commander Edward E. Luetschwager, USN, get in
touch with-your Aide to finalize the arrangements. He is our Forrestal
Lecture Series Coordinator and is available at [phone].
We look forward to seeing you at the Naval Academy.
With warm regards,

Your letter to President Carter dated 21 June 1977 urging
the release of the total budget figures for intelligence opera-
tions was referred to us for response.
Your interest in this important issue is appreciated. The
President has directed that the Director of Central Intelligence
not object to the public release of a single overall budget figure
of the U. S. Intelligence Community, and he has so informed the
Senate Select Committee on Intelligence which is considering this
matter..
Thinking it may be of interest, I am enclosing a copy of
the Director's prepared statement when he appeared before the
Subcommittee on Criminal Laws and Procedures, Senate Judiciary
Committee, on 14 June 1977.
Sincerely,
B C. Evans

CENTlt2\L INTELLIGENCE
When I appeared before this Committee in February for
confirmation hearings, I indicated that I was inclined to favo
the releasing of the Intelligence Co=unity's aggregate
budget figure,''' but that I wanted more time to study that
question thozoughly before committing myself. I have since
had that opportunity and I an, prepared today not to object
to your releasing the single, inclusive budget-figure which
represents the Intelligence Community's budget,. subject
to several important qualifications which- I would like to
discuss.
The techniques of intelligence collection and analysis
chance with time and with technology. The breakdown of the
intelligence budget accurately reflects those changes. Over
time, anal.:; i _, of that break down could reveal to any intereste
observer_ oFt, :yeas of interest and the technologies on which
we depend. t' r: orit Stich information, others could 1ear_n where
they should p.l.,ace emphasis in countermeasures in order to'

In shcl ct, the detailed intelligence budget in the hands . o
our ener:tic_. would be a powerful weapon with which they could
T: ake our collectio efforts more difficult, more hazardous
to -life, and more costly. The way we spend our intelligence
money in this country, then, is one of our necessary secrets.
At the same time, we are a free and an open society.
it is appropriate
citizens be. kept as well informed
as possible of_ the activities of their government.. They, in
fact, are the best oversight we ha Ve for the prevention of
possible excesses of governmental activity.' The public's'
right to understand the workings of the intelligence process
is part of their being adequately informed.. .
Some compromise, then, is necessary between. the risks of
giving an enemy an unnecessary advantage over is, and of
protecting the basic openness of our society.... Accordingly,
President Carter has directed that I not object to .your.
releasing to the public a single overall. budget figure of the
U.S. intelligence co=.--unity.
Let r e expl precisely what that figure includes it
i n_cl ud E s t:he budge t of. the CIA and those portions of the
bud-gets c,[ other agencies of the government which are
devoted :c,?usi;-ely to intelligence. Clearly there are many

intellic Brice _ For instance, a r ilitary airplane flying on a
training mission may well be able as a collateral function to
collect :coz:te intelligence, or even carried to the extreme,
,perhaps, :.: corporal on lookout duty with binoculars could be
tiv
called an intelligence collector.
The expenses of such operations as -these are not included
in the intelligence budget for which I am responsible and whic"z,1

is presented to the Congress as the National ~' e gn t 1 p ce
Budget.
Basically the dividing line -is_ whether w?ze fund the
activity for the primary purpose of collecting intelligence
or analyzing; intelligence, or whether it is for another purpos,
and we derive collateral ? ntelliger_ce benefits from it.
1'-:i_nally, I must ten :ion the limitations which must
prevail in issuing additional information concerning this
budget figure. There will be a natural and. an understandable
tendency on the pare of 'the press and the public to want a
detailed breakdown of the budget figure. This we cannot do
either by the deliberate release of additional information,
or by coru:ieni_s on the composition or character of the intelli--
geY:ce bud ;~: " _ It is here that, regrettably, we must draw
the lino.- openness and necessary secrecy. Were we
