The Honorable Mark 0. Hatfield
Washington, D.C.
Dear Senator:
GREETINGS , AND HAPPY P+E:; YEAR
Complete puzzlement was my reaction to a recent
re'Dort by a newspaper columnist who stated that the
C.I.A. actively recruits foreign students. Perhaps
one of your assistants could explai^, and ans;ver
the following:
1. Are the students recruited in their home
land and brought in to the U.S. on scholarships?
or who pays the educational and living costs?
2. What does C.I.A. expect from them? Hots
-can C.I.A. evaluate any information received from
them?
Now there are more questions, With the TV report
and pictures today of Iranian students in violent
protest against relatives of the Shah in Los Angeles.
Thanks for any help.
Sinc erely,
Lowell and
Frances 101 anerud
