The CIA deeply regrets that certain anonymous sources
are attempting to criticize Stanley Sporkin on the basis of
his fully authorized conduct as CIA General Counsel. Any
suggestion that Mr. Sporkin has acted inappropriately as set
forth in the Scripps Howard News Service story is without
basis in fact. There has not been a Department of Justice
or FBI investigation of Mr. Sporkin's conduct for the simple
reason that the allegation that he tried to "cover up" an
FBI investigation of a CIA employee is totally baseless.
