Dear Bill:
[xLntiya -It's
86_.6025X
This is in reply to your recent letter concerning a
seminar on unauthorized disclosure of classified
information to the media.
I agree that a seminar such as you described would
help delineate the problem of leaks in the Government
involving intelligence sources and methods. You may be
assured of the support of the Department of Defense in
providing panel members on subjects within our competence.
Sincerely,
Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/11/17: CIA-RDP88G01332R000100120003-5

The Director of Central Intelligence

The Honorable Casper W. Weinberger
The Secretary of Defense
Washington, D.C. 20301
Dear Cap:
Your letter of 14 November commenting on the Unauthorized Disclosure
Analysis Center's Summary was most encouraging. As you know, the
publication's purpose is to stimulate the interest and action of senior
officials regarding the "leak" problem Your hope that we can resolve more of
these cases is fervently shared.
The effectiveness of the Unauthorized Disclosure Summary as a baseline on
the anti-leak effort would be greatly enhanced by specific input from DoD and
others on the numbers of investigations of unauthorized disclosure of
classified intelligence and the disposition of such cases. I agree fully with
your observation that coordinated efforts will help shut down leaks and
identify the culprits.
The UDAC has had under consideration for some time a seminar on
unauthorized disclosures. It is envisioned as a forum for leak investigators,
security officers, legal counsel, public affairs officers and others concerned
with revelations of classified information in the media. Specific sessions on
the various facets of the problem would facilitate an exchange of information
and perhaps the development of new and unified courses of action to alleviate
classified leaks. Because the vigorous participation of the Department of
Defense would be invaluable to such a program, I would appreciate your views
before proceeding.
Yours,
William J. Casey
