MEMORANDUM FOR MR. CHARLES HILL
Executive Secretary
Department of State
Executive Secretary
Central Intelligence Agency
SUBJECT: Congressional correspondence regarding Central
America
The Department of Defense has prepared a letter to Congressman
Don J. Pease (Tab A) responding to his inquiries regarding
Central America (Tab B). It is our understanding that State and
CIA also received identical letters from Congressman Pease.
Defense has proposed that a single coordinated response be
provided to the Congressman. The NSC agrees that this would be
appropriate given the sensitivity of the issues and the fact that
much of the information requested could be classified. Would
you, therefore, review the proposed response prepared by Defense
(Tab A) to determine whether or not additional information should
be included and if a single response is appropriate. Your views
would be appreciated by close of business Friday, September 21,
1984.
