Public Affairs Office
- John Lelvveld (NEW YORK TIMES Magazine), who is doing an article on the DCI and
the Intelligence Community's relationship with USG policymaking, had interviews with
John McMahon and Bob Gates. Lelyveld is a serious journalist but knows very little
about the Agency and the intelligence business.
D/PAO had a long conversation with Chris Dickey, Washington Post, who is on
sabbatical and who has done a very unhelpful article on the contra program. It was
scheduled to have already appeared in the Washington Post, but since D/PAO's off-the-
record discussion with Dickey, publication was postponed, hopefully for some rewriting
and further checking. However, since Dickey's material appears to have been obtained
from some of the LA task force dissenters, it, at best, is likely to be troublesome.
D/PAO turned down 60 Minutes' request for Agency direct or indirect participation in a
program it is doing on Arkady Shevchenko. On our advice Stan Turner, who had been
asked to appear, will not do so. riefed Senator Movnihan 25X1
who will be on the show. Moynihan says he wants to focus on Soviet intelligence
activity at the United Nations.
has now participated in three taped
television programs regarding our complaint to the FCC. In hindsight, while a certain
amount of media exposure has probably been helpful in directing attention to our
cause, the tapings have not been helpful in really getting our views publicized. We
have received a request to appear live on McNeil-Lehrer with an ABC representative.
That would give us a chance to say what we would like to impart.
The PRB cleared a draft article by Tom Polgar intended for early publication in the
Miami Herald. It calls for the current DCI to "reconstruct and rejuvenate the U.S.
human collection effort."

Department of State over the possibility that Ambassador Andrew Steigman was
preparing to have a manuscript published about which he knew the CIA had
serious reservations. Ambassador Steigman, presently writing for the Center
for Strategic and International Studies at Georgetown University, has signed
secrecy agreements. In discussing the manuscript with the Office of Public

disagreements. The Department has promised to coordinate the review of the
manuscript with the Agency once it is received.
m. DDA Career Days, sponsored by the Directorate of Administration
(DA), was held in the 1,J Corridor of the Headquarters building on 11, 12, and

as they exist in the DA today. Exhibits were displayed by all components

on careers in the DA. Initial feedback indicates that the program was very
well received.

? The FBIS Wire Services Staff provided key Community watch offices
exhaustive coverage of events surrounding the hijacking of a Kuwaiti airliner
to Iran. Official Iranian announcements carried by Iranian media and

Situation Room have thanked FBIS for its timely coverage of the crisis,
noting the paucity of information from other sources.
? NPIC is preparing a special briefing package on SS-20 and SS-X-25 mobile
missile bases and on the Soviet Sierra-class nuclear submarine. This package
will be used by the Arms Control Intelligence Staff for a briefing to the
NATO Defense Ministers beginning on 20 December.

John Lelyveld (NEW YORK TIMES Magazine), who is doing an article on the
DCI and the Intelligence Community's relationship with USG policymaking, had
interviews with John McMahon and Bob Gates. Lelyveld is a serious journalist
but knows very little about the Agency and the intelligence business.
Bob Woodward met with re Woodward's projected 25X1
upcoming trip to Moscow to meet with KGB officials. The date of the trip is
as yet undetermined, probably after the Gromyko/Shultz meeting.
I had a long conversation with Chris Dickey, WASHINGTON POST, who is on
sabbatical and who has done a very unhelpful article on the contra program.
It was scheduled to have already appeared in the WASHINGTON POST, but since my
off-the-record discussion with Dickey, publication was postponed, hopefully
for some rewriting and further checking. However, since Dickey's material
appears to have been obtained from some of the LA task force dissenters, it,
at best, is likely to be troublesome.
I turned down 60 Minutes' request for Agency direct or indirect
participation in a program it is doing on Arkady Shevchenko. On our advice,

Phil Taubman of the NEW YORK TIMES is commencing to slowly fade out of
his current assignment and is starting preparations to be the TIMES's Moscow
Bureau chief. Joel Brinkley will take his place covering U. S. national
security matters. Inter alia, Taubman said he believes that support for the
contra program is slowly growing in the Congress (House).
Dave Martin, CBS, says that our complaint to the FCC re ABC has the media
scared out of their wits.
has now participated in three 25X1
taped television programs regarding our comp aint to the FCC. In hindsight,
while a certain amount of media exposure has probably been helpful in
directing attention to our cause, the tapings have not been helpful in really
getting our views publicized All three stations used our case only as a
jumping-off point to discuss the real issue of libel and the stations edited
out 0 persuasive arguments regarding the principles of the case. On 25X1
balance further participation in taped shows probably would not be useful.
However, we have received a request to appear live on McNeil-Lehrer with an
ABC representative. That would give us the chance to say what we would like
to impart. 25X1
