Admiral Stansfield Turner
Director
Central Intelligence Agency
Washington, D. C.
Dear Admiral Turner:
The Committee staff has already been in communication
with the staff of the Agency on this matter, but I would
like to formally request that the Agency make a detailed
study of a book by Edward Epstein entitled The Legend.
Several members of the Committee have expressed concern
about many of the matters raised by the book and we have had
considerable public interest about it. It would be helpful
to the Committee if the book were analyzed point by point
as to its, accuracy, possible sources of information, and
implications for present and future intelligence activities
of the United States.
With best wishes,
Birch Bayh
Chairman
