MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: "Compromise" of Sensitive ICS Papers on the
Mayaguez Incident
1. I made a small, discreet inquiry last week concerning tri==
question of how internal memoranda from General Wilson to the
DCI concerning the Mayaguez incident reached other components
of the Community. (These memoranda were prepared by PR D in
the days immediately following that incident. ) I am convinced thk f
the external distribution of these papers by the NIOs/SEA wa,-3
completely inadvertent, as we suspected.
2. It's too bad this happened, in view of concern create-] in
INR and elsewhere, but there was no severe, lasting damage that
I am aware of. In any event, had there not been such enormous
pressure to produce papers for the White House with only a day
or two's notice (in the case of the two papers prepared by the NIOs`,,
I don't think our sensitive pieces would have gone astray.
