J. . A e pap
Director of Central Intelligence and the Central Intelligence Group in
their rightful place-in confornity with the President's letter of
22 Januaar` 96--as the keystone of the arch supporting, the national
security, and are considered to be generally excellent for the purpose.
2. However, a questionable item is noted in paragraph 2, of the
Proposed N.I.A. Direoti a (page 5). The following changes in the
wording of that paragraph are suggested:

~etically certain that State Department, and entirely possible
artments will raise objections to the transfer of

portions of their a aagenoies on the basis only of the Director a s opinion.
Opinion is a personal matter and varies with individuals. Action based
upon arq individua .ts opinion? however sound, cannot set the permanent
patter which is sought in the papers under discussion.
