MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence
FROM: John F. Blake
Deputy Director for Administration
Stan:
25X1A
1. (U) Attached are two "souvenirs" for you from my just
completed trip to the Far East. The first is pages 1 and 2 of
the Saturday. 11 November; edition
I suspect you will have some interest on page .
e otner is a copy of the TWA house organ entitled Ambassador.
There is an article which I believe will be of interest to you
commencing on page 76. It discusses some of the problems of
West Point and some of the changes that Lieutenant General
Goodpaster is endeavoring to bring about.
2. (C) I may have tended to violate your privacy at tw
stations I visited which are on your itinerary, 25X1A
At both stations I was shown the planned schedule
1111,11.s. I suggested that they give attention to two other
things also. I mentioned you are an avid tennis player and un-
doubtedly would want some exercise on your trip. Both stations can
make fine arrangements. The inevitable question as to the quality
of your opponents arose. I told them your philosophy was that it is
not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game. I also
observed that there was no tentative scheduling for church services.
I mentioned the faith of your choice and suggested that they at
least make inquiries as to what local services might be available.

eans more
oviet spies
DETENTE not only means
friendlier ties - it also means
more Soviet spies. _
So say officil of the
Federal Bureau of
Investigation, who are
sparring with; State
Department officials over this
question. ?
The main contention is that
as the number of Soviet and
Other East bloc officials - and ;
visitors in the US increases,
under the more relaxed rules
of US-Soviet detente, so does -
the number of spies.
Detente hag. brought a
steady increase in both
officials and visitors. The
number of East bloc. officials
in the. US was 800 in mid_ Adm. Turner
1966;: 1,383 in 1972, and
L898 since January. Of the
latter figtsee, the vast majority
- 1,266es1were Soviets. ?
The 'number of Soviet
visitors to the US had doubled
over the past six years, from
some 6,000 in 1972 to about
12,000 last year. An even
large number of Soviet
seamen visit American ports.
The FBI has asked that it
be given more manpower to
cope with what it considers to
be the increased Soviet spying
accompanying the rise in
these figures, and it has urged
that tighter - restrictions be
placed on visas for the Soviets
and their friends. ,
But the State Department
think i that the FBI often has
been ;unduly alarmist, either
overestimating the Soviet spy
threat or s., deliberately
exaggerating it to , support
budget requests.
The State Department
insists, emoreover, that a
relaxation of erestrictions on
visas was part of agreements
made at Helsinki in 1975 and
that the US must live with the
bad consequences of those
agreements as well as :the
good.
ts The effectiveness of Soviet
spies is a matter for debate.
But there is no question that
over the past year or so the
subject has raised high-level
concern on a number of
occasions, sometimes
breaking into the headlines:
? In October last year, it
was learned that Admiral
Stansfield Turner, Director of
the Central Intelligence
Agency; had warned major
contractors working with the
CIA, including aerospace
companies dealing with top
secret matters, to tighten their
internal security controls or
face the possible loss of
Government contracts.
His warnings resulted from
unannounced security checks
on such contractors and
followed a series of arrests
and court cases earlier in the
year which revealed security
leaks from a number , of
comes working on
sensitive CrtO-Veremente cepa-
tracts.
? Last Nevember, it was
in 41thcbgtafet)
rev
grown increasingly vulnerable
to 'eavesdropping by foreign
Justice Department a firma
grip on the visa question.
? II On August. 17,.. FBI
agents arrested.William
Kampilee a former CIA
clerk, who was charged with
selling Soviet agents a
technical systems manual for
the US spy-in-the-sky "Big
Bird" satellite.
The case has caused
considerable concern because
the manual was missing for
months before the loss was
noticed. Mr Kainpiles is now
on trial.
Now the good news:
The CIA-es reports
"significant progress" on the
-part of the aerospace industry
? in etightening / its security
by DANIEL' controls. s ?*- s
. And the State Department
SOUTHERLAND ? and Just ce Department now
- - -
-Washington ? are doing a better job of CO-
agents and that the ,Carter
Administration had approved
anew programme, to protect
sensitive calls. .
It included the increased
use of scramblers and
underground lines. According
to US experts, the Soviets
monitor calls with the use of
antennas and high-powered
computers in Washington,
New York, and San
Francisco, as well as from
ships off the US coast
? In May, ? the FBI
arrested two Soviet employees
of the United Nations for
attempting to -buy defence
secrets, some of them
apparently dealing with US
and-submarine warfare, from
a US naval officer.? ,
The officer had posed as a
naitor ? while co-operating
from the 'outset ;With 'US
Government authorities. The
Soviet pair were convicted on
October 14m Newark, New
"Jersey. t
In apparent retaliation the
Soviets arrested an American
businessman in Moscow on
charges of ? currency
violations. He was given a five-
Year suspended sentence and
released.
The Soviet press,
meanwhile, accused the FBI
of "trumping up" its case
against the two Soviet UN
employees in an effort to stir
"anti-Soviet hysteria" and
bring into disrepute the idea
of good relations between the
Soviet Union and United
States.
? In July, after receiving
FBI briefings, the Senate
Appropriations Committee
issued a report saying
that "far too many" Soviet
bloc intelligence agents had
been permitted entry into the
United States.
The committee advised the
Immigration and
Naturalisation Service, a
branch of the Justice
Department, to expel
suspected agents irrespsctive
of the visas 'mead by, or the
eNglice749i11419M:
--a-slap at the State Department
and an attempt to give the
ordinating thei " work on visa
applications. High-level
officials fro s ' the two
departmeats sleet to consider
any case in which the FBI
persists in objfcting to a visa
being grontel by the State
Department -?
Whatever countermeasures
the United States devises,
however, Soviet . spies
obviously have , a built-in
adVantagt.: chi-sr:, benefit from
the wick rank of published
informed-a ?j defence and
security rXters readily
available in open society
such as tha of the United
_
States.
One Admistration official
jokingly sugspsted that such a
diversity opinion is
? available in e US that the
Soviets run e tisk of getting
confused. . .
_
The CI Director, Adm
Turner has been known to
complain that from an
intelligence-gathering point of
view, detente is a "net minus"
for the United States.
It might tie of comfort to
some that Sane former ? CIA
director, 'William Co/by,
thinks Soviet spies have fallen
on hard times. .,
A few months ago, Mr
Colby teed U.S. News and
World Report that most of
the recent espionage cases
have involved Soviet agents
paying C2 ,h for secrets. That,
in Mr Cialby's view, is not the
way to get the best
information.
"They'll get odds and ends
that way," said Mr ?Colby,
mebutictth they' won't get very
h:.
"You see, the really
important agents on both
sides have been ideologically
motivated," he continued.
That's what got the famous
penetrations of the British
Government by the Soviets
during the late 1930s - the
commitment to the revolution,
to anti-fascism.
"But now the Soviets no
longer represent anything
that's ideologically amactive.

The World's No Longer Just
Black And White
By John Hahrooks
hange comes hardest to the
military, where uniformity,
obedience and duty are revered, and
non-conformity, intellectual ills-
course and inquiry suspect. Within
the Army, the U.S. Military Academy
at West Point is the Source, the
symbol of this nation's military
strength. Nowhere is tradition
stronger than at America's Sparta,
Chiseled out of rolling wooded
mountains along the west bank C. the
Hudson River 50 miles north of New
York City, the Academy's 16,000
acres seem sculpted at a potter's
wheel, lovely in grays, red brick,
browns, the green Plain, Roads and
paths twist and climb on a campus
where, as one officer puts it, "it
seems every place you go is up."
West Point's mission is to provide
cadets?this year about 4,500 strong
?a sound academic education while
it trains them as military leaders.
These seemingly diametrically-op-
posed goals?inquiry and contempla-
tion versus unquestioning obedience
and instantaneous response? West
Point has always believed are exactly
the combination crucial to developing
tomorrow's military leaders. The
Academy's record is impressive: fully
75 per cent of its graduates go on to
take an advanced degree; and,
although West Pointers comprise but
10 per cent of the Army's total active-
duty officer strength, almost half the
Army's generals are Academy grads
?"ringknockers," in the Army's
parlance.
West Point bends over backward to
paint a realistic picture of its world,
selecting individuals with the most
impressive combination of academic,
athletic and leadership credentials.
They enter West Point's gates old
enough to have demonstrated poten-
I al, young enough to remain mane-
i,ble.
From the first day of Beast
f,arr8eks until they graduate tour
veers later, cadets live a fishbovs,1
xistence (2 million tourists visit West
oint each year). "Privacy is at
remium here," explains one young
fficer. "Cadets live on top of each
ther." On Academy grounds (pm-

charges that West Point is so
competitive that it loses sight of its
primary goal: to develop the leader-
ship qualities of on cadets. Cadets
who find they can't compete for a
place at the top, he says, grow
apathetia. "Cooperate and rad':

explosion in Electrical Engineering, and weindtather. indeed, it's his already been implementeo.
When the smoke cleared, 156
cadets had either resigned or been
separated for Honor violations. But
allegations hung over West Point like
mist over the Hudson. One cadet
charged that the Academy was
reticent to pursue the investigation
for fear of decimating the ranks of the
next year's senior class. There were
charges that Honor Committee repre
sentatives themselves had been com-
promised.
The Secretary of the Army stepped
in, appointing a special commission
under Frank Berman, a West Point
grad, former astronaut and president
of Eastern Airlines. The Borman
Commission found that cheating had
hardly been confined to "Juice," but
had been a fact of life in several
courses for years. "it is distressingly
apparent," the Commission reported,
"that the Honor System, the means
by which the Code is taught,
supervised and enforced, had indeed
become grossly inadequate by the
spring of 1976."
For West Point, the failure of the
Honor Code represented nothing less
than a failure of mission?a fact
made demonstrably clear when,
under pressure from Congress and
the Pentagon, West Point allowed the
"Juice" cadets to return. More than
90 did, graduating last spring.
Clearly, such a failure couldn't be
tolerated either the methods wore
wrong . . or the mission itself.
The man given the assignment of
sorting out the answers to those Idnde
of difficult questions is Lieutenant
General Andrew Jackson Goodpas-
ter, former head of NATO. In April
1977, as a result of the Borman
Commission's report, General Good-
pester was called out of retirement to
become the 51st superintendent of
West Point.
Goodpaster, the man, is a measure
of the Army's commitment to sub-
stance over style in finding new
answers at West Point. Unlike his
predecessors, whose priorities lay
distinctly with the military face of the
Academy, Goodpaster wants to re-
emphasize academics,
Tall and trim, with white hair, a

Another dubious tradition about to

of entrapment, some say: the same
test given to one group of cadets has
later been given to another group.

West Point In Transition: AView From The Top
If actions do indeed speak
louder than words, West
Point's superintendent, General
Andrew J. Goodpaster, has spok-
en eloquently through the changes
he's already instituted at the
Academy. But his words are
worth heeding, too. A few sam-
ples:
"I'm not so pretentious as to
believe we can mold men here at
West Point. I have great respect
for a person's individuality and
personality. I don't go in for the
idea of tearing a person down to
build him over again. But cadets
as a class will take on a certain
identity and meet certain chal-
lenges."
"In peace you prepare for war.
There is this anomaly: by being
better prepared for war?not in a
provocative way?you decrease
the likelihood of war. National
security does require a strong
and ready military capability. By
being strong you reduce the
likelihood of having to use that
strength in defense of the values
of society."

military or civilian authority.
However, if a soldier is directed
to do something illegal, he must
refuse. If a soldier believes that
the deep principles and values of
society are not being observed or
honored, he always has the
opportunity to turn in his uniform.
As Britisher Lord Hawley said,
'The most difficult decision to
make is the issue over which one
chooses to resign.'"
"The mission of West Point is
twofold: to establish self-disci-
pline, to teach cadets to accept
