Letters to the Editor
The New York Times
229 West 43rd Street
New York, NY 10036
Dear Sir:
STATIN
Without addressing the major thrust of Mr. William
Safire's column in your edition of Christmas Day 1978, I
wish to correct a serious misstatement of fact that was
reported. The column mentioned that Admiral Turner "has
just fired John Blake, the veteran C.I.A. Deputy Director
for Administration."
On 27 November 1978, Mr. Blake informed both Admiral
Turner and myself that after thirty-five years of Federal
service he had decided to retire on 12 January 1979. Along
with the Director, I was totally surprised by Mr. Blake's
announcement. Mr. Blake has been the senior ranking career
employee of the Agency for some period and his outstanding
accomplishments in the Federal service were recognized by his
receipt of the National Civil Service League Career Service
Award on 4 December 1978.
In a sense of fairness and justice to Mr. Blake, I ask
that you publish this letter. I have also communicated with
Mr. Safire asking that in a forthcoming column he also perform
the same act of justice. The simple fact of the matter is that
Mr. Blake left by his own voluntary decision. In no sense was
he fired. Nor was his departure in any way instigated by the
Director or by me.

F.B.I. and Secret Service Re-evaluating Guard Role
WASHINGTON, Dec. -11 (UN) ? The
Director of the Federal Bureau of Investi-
gation told Congress today that the bu-
reau was taking another look at how it re-
lates to the-Secret Service so that it wil]
be better prepared to deal with, or pre-
vent, assassinations of Presidents and
other nattonal leaders. -
William H. Webster, the director, made
the comments in testimony before the
House assassinations committee; which
is reviewing preparations of the nation's
major intelligence, protective and law
enforcement agencies tovdeal with the
slaying of American public figures. - -
The committee, whic.h has spent? two
years investigating the assassinations of
President Kennedy and the Rev. Dr. Mar-
tin Luther King Jr., plans to complete the
inquiries this month.
The chairman of the committee, Rep-
resentative Louis _Stokes, Democrat of
Ohio, noted that four Presidents had been,
killed and others had. been the targets of
assassination attempts. If past perform-
ance of the agencies involved is an indica-
tion, he:I-said, "the- prospects are not
good" for an improved response
? Webster Offers Assurances -
?
Mr1Vebster Said the F.B.I., for one,
was working on the problem. He said the
bureau- ,would not -hesitate, within legal
bounds, to do all in its power to prevent
the av..assination of another President or
public figure or to track down those re-
sponsible. "But we cannot be sure," h
said.
?Mr. Webster.' said that the Secret Serv-
ice was responsible for protecting the
President and the F.B.I. "is not regularly
informed of the President's movements."
? But he said his agency was =inducting
a periodic review of a formal agreement
that it has with the Secret Service. He
said the review was designed to define
'areas of activity regarding the Secret
Service's protective responsibilities and
the. investigative responsibilities of the
bureau, and establish mutual communi-
cation and cooperation . in .crrdinary and
extraordinary situations. ' : ,-
Mr..Webster. said there was no way to
tell "how we would react in every situa-
? tion," but the F.B.I. has a Major case
- operations plan" in the event that
*another President is killed.
Under the ? plan, two command posts
-
*would immediately be set up, one at the
, ...site of the killing and one in Washington.
All leads would- be channeled from the
field post to headquarters in Washin.gton,

SEPARATISTS in Portugal's1
Atlantic island possession.
the . Azores. have admittedi
the existence of a plot to win
independence by force that
involved an 'American Sena-
tor, French mercenaries and
American financiers. .
Jose de Almeida. leader of
the 'Azores Liberation Front
(FLA), admitted. to revela-
tions- by two American inves-
tigators that in 1975 ,he was
offered a plan for an armed
insurrection heade d? by
members of the OAS. Accord-
ing to the revelations, which
were .published in the Boston
Magazine and in Lisbon
earlier this month, the aims
were to make the Azores a
base of operations against a
possible communist govern'.
ment on the mainland. It
failed because the separatists
backed out at the last minute
and because moves towards
a Communist regime in Pon
reeal were ci.ecked.
Research in the United
States-by the_tyio jentenalists,
FrecP-- Strasser and Brian
McTigue, revealed months of
preparation for the rising.
that began a year after the
democratic ? coup of April
1974. ? ? " : ?
?The first step involved set-
ting ? up a clandestine govern-
rnentl in Fall River,
Massachusetts, the home of-
many of the 700,000 Azoreans
living in the United States.
The move was directed by
Jean-Denis Raingeard, who
has been identified by a? CIA
source as an operative of the
French-Algerian OAS and
was recently reported to be
directing .% mercenary. rec-
ruitment project, for ' ?the
Rhodesian. Government. - .
Raingeard" then approached
Strom Thurmond. Solith.Car-?
cline's conservative Republie
can Senator, seeking support.
American ,A.zorean sources.
claim the Senator offered ;
active encouragement- --andl
agreed to contact the CIA to
enlist its. aid. :1'he Ford(
Administration and the CIA
refused help after being told
by the US ambassador in
Lisbon, Frank Carlucci, thati
by meddling in the Azores"
they would play into the
hands of the pro-Soviet Corn-i
munists. The CIA waAenjeltvd
f
have recognised the plah or
a rising as "a classic OAS
effort, with the first para.
trete! fa net *Ida cit
of the ? operation moved to
the Azores."l
However, they appear tof
have made no move to stop!
the plotters, who then -turned I
to private financiers for mat-
erial aid. ? A close aide of
Thurmond, Victor Fediay, 63.
brought in a New York busi-
nessman named Edward Mea-
dows. Arms would be pro-
vided through Cuban exiles.
Fediay kept close contacts
with the-Fall River Azoreans,
who . resent Portugal's long
history of neglect of the
Islands and who largely sup-
pprt.the idea of their become
log- a separate state. Theyi
were urged ? to pressure Con-
gres.smen and Senators to
call for independence, while
the. OAS sent letters to the
United Nations and . Port-
ugal's President threatening
terrorist, attacks if their de-
mand was normet. ? ' ?
Meanwhile, Raingeard re-
cruited some of their number
during, the summer for the
coming Insurrection. A Fall
River grocer and ex-Portu--
guese- army sergeant said he.
declined an offer to lead a
squad of mercenaries in an
operation he was told was
being financed :by "an
organisation. in, Europe." But
some Azoreans were sent to.
the islands to begin a, cam-'
paign of destabilisation. ' .
According to Azoreans in
Fall River,. the campaign was
directed 'by Jean-Paul Blew
tie.ree,a .Frenchman with an ?
OAS background who has
been living in the Azores .
since 1967. Responsibility for
a number of bomb attacks on
left-wing targets in 1975 has I
never been officially con-
firmed, and the ,bombings
have continued sporadically ?
tit' the present day. Although
: he .has now', admitted thee
existence of the plea ? arid ?
Thurmond's involvement in it '
? Bletiere has shed no light
on the attacks.' " ? ?
. By: the late: ' summer.
1
Raingeard was boasting that
he had recruited nearly 100
men for- the operation, which
only needed the signature of
the separatists to go ahead.
But at this point the FLA
began to lose interest, its
members feeling they were
or Relera ecrign a par o it. The
/04/2i frAixRID 91-00901R000100140001-4
climax was a noisy meeting
in a Paris hotel on Septem-
ber 5 whirh enirro4f4ari Tuith
in many Furopean capitals to
be the prelude to civil war.
' At the meeting the FLA
representatives were offered
'a contract drawn up by the
OAS men. Senator Thur-
'mood's aide, Fediay and the
financier, Meadows. Indepen-
dence would be theirs in
three weeks, they were told,
if they agreed to allow Mea-
dows's corepany total control
of tourist expansion. The Aeor-
eans gradually recognised the
plan as a "contract for sla-
very, not independence," and
resisted all blandishments
and pressures to sign it.
Military action by moder-
ates two months later put an
end to any immediate pro-
spect of a Communist regime
in Portugal and with it any
serious attempt to revive the
independence conspiracy. ?
The FLA leader, Jose de
Almeida, told the Guardian
that the revelations' were
substantially true and that he
had been approached by "all
kinds of people" who had
various schemes of their *own.
for the Azores. .
Almeida's admission has
confirmed suspicions on the-
mainland that the Azores, as
well as Portugal's other

Soviet and Ethiopia Sign Accord i
Solidifying Ties in Horn of Africa'
By DAVID ZSHIPLER.
Special to Thetlem YorkThoss .
Somali port of Berbera several years ago
? MOSCOW, Nov. 20 ? The Soviet Union
today solidified its relationship with
Ethiopia by signing a treaty of friendship
and cooperation that is expected to main-
tam or increase Soviet military irtvolve-
nient in the Hom of Africa. ? ? ?
The pact completes the turnabout of al- ?
!lances in the region. Ethiopia, formerly
a client of the United States, shifted its
allegiance after a Marxist military gov-
ernment took power following the over- :
throw of Emperor. Haile Selassie. And -
Somalia,. Ethiopia's rival over disputed
territory in the Ogaden desert, abrogated -
-a friendship treaty with Moscow a year
ago. Ethiopia relied on Cuban troops and
I Soviet weapons to expel Somali invading
!: forces from Ogaden earlier this year; -
". Provision on Bases 13 Unclear
Whether the Ethiopian treaty will per-
mit the establishment of Soviet military
bases there is unclear. Just five days ago,
a group of United States senator% visiting
here were told emphatically by Boris N.
.Ponomarev, a member of the Soviet lead-
ership, that there were no such plans..
? . "There have never been Soviet mili-
tary contingents in African countries and
there are none today," Mr. Ponomarev
declared. "At the same time the Soviet
Union seeks neither political domination
nor military bases nor economic privi-
leges. The entire record of the Soviet
Union's relations with the African.aoun?
tries proves this."
In fact, however, an air and.nar.al fa-
cility was huilt by the Russians .in the..
Recently,. Ethicrpia has received Soviet
aid to counter both Somali attacks and an
uprising in Eritrea. Last April, in testi-
mony , before a Senate subcommittee;
Frank Carlucci, a deputy director of the
Central Intelliaerice A en said the in-
cluded 400 tanks. 50
quantities anno cars, persons)
carriers and artillery pieces. ?
"The Soviet military aid conornitenen
to Ethiopia now ranges close to $1 bil
lion." he sal&
? The disruptions of war and populati
increases have confronted Ethiopia with
a food shortage and other economic prob.
lems that make it an uncertain foot-hot
for theRussians in Africa.
Massawa Is Still Ciat Ott -
Eritrean guerrillas have cut off Massa-
vra, a Red Sea port, and the rail line be-
tween Addis Ababa and Djibouti has only
recently been repaired after having been
destroyed by the Somalis. .
Additional difficulties may arise
among farmers if the bead of state, Lieut.
Col. Mengistu Haile Mariam, goes
through with announced plans to collec-
tivize agriculture.
. The treaty, signed in the Kremlin' by
Colonel Mengistu and Leonid.!. Brerb-
nev, the Soviet leader, brings to six the
number of underdeveloped countries with
similar pacts. The others are- Angola,
Matanibique, Iraq, India and Vietnam. -

ussion Spy Agency
? American intelligence overall
fis. superior to that of the Soviet
Union, Frank C. Carlucci, deputy ?
director of the Central Intelligence

:-Club.in San Francisco yesterday.
The KGB, Russia's principal
;Intelligence agency, "has more re-.

? "Technically; we are ahead,"
:.Carlucci asserted, "and they carry a

analytical capability is far superior
:1b theirs."
He said intelligence organiza-
tions occasionally must submit pes-
simistic reports to their govern-
ments "and I, for one, would not
like to be the KGB. agent to carry
bad news to the Kremlin." .
Carlucci, whose speech was
interrupted four times by applause
said the view of the CIA as a "rogue
elephant on the loose" is wrong.
? Many of the much-published
blunders in American foreign poli-
cy that were blamed on the CIA,
? Carlucci said, occurred because the
agency simply followed orders of'
former secretaries of State or

Legislative restrictions on the CIA,
Carlucci said, would only fragment.
programs and create an unending rib-,

ly if not for CIA infiltration of terrorist
operations.
"The best way to prevent terrorism is
to know what terrorists are going to do,"
he said.
He said painstaking moral decisions
are made all the time that involve the
possible loss of an agent's life.
Agents who have infiltrated terrorist
organizations are sometimes called on
by those groups to participate in terror-
ist activities, he said, and decisions by
CIA officials always involv,e _ "moral,
values and a sense of responsibility.".
Agency activities range from espion-
, age to the tracking of narcotic ship-
ments in foreign lands, he said, and the
importance of that activity cannot be
? overestimated.
- Carlucci joined the Foreign Service in
1956 after graduating from Princeton
University in 1952, serving in the Navy
for two years, and then graduating from ?
_ _
the Harvard Graduate School of Busi-
ness Administration in 1955.
His first assignment was as vice con-
sul and economic officer at the U.S.
Embassy in Johannesburg, South Afri-
ca, from 1957 to 1959. He then served as
second secretary and political officer in
.-..gishasha, Congo (now Zaire) from 1960
to 1962; as officer in charge, Congolese
political affairs, from 1962 through 1964;
as consul general to Zanzibar in 1964 and
1965; and s as counselor for political
affairs; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 1965
through-1969. -
Carlucci has also served other govern-
ment agencies, including the Office of
Econonaic Opportunity, as assistant di-
rector and director; the Office of Man-
agement and Budget; and the Depart-
ment of Health, Education, and Wel-
fare, where-he served as an undersec-
retary from-1972 through 1974.
The government position for which he
is best known in the area was his ap-
STATINTL
pointment as presidential representa- 1
tive to the Wyoming Valley during the
Agnes disaster of 1972.
That was one of his most memorable
assignments, he said, because the re-
sponse of the people in the area to
adversity was 'an inspiring experi-
ence." ' - -
Carlucci said the type of government
action taken during the Agnes flood
could go a long way in making the
federal government more efficient.
"The programs were more simplified
in the emergency," he said, "and only
one man was accountable."
He said simplification of programs
and accountability by individuals is the
key to making the entire federal govern-
ment operate more smoothly..
, Carlucci also expressed his views on
youth and education. _
,"There is a great deal of talk today in
Aducation concerning relevance vs. the

Drawing on his experience as a world
traveler, Carlucci said, "The greatest
strength of American democracy is the
diversity of ? its educational system.
'We've got to teach people how to think?
? not what to think,' he said.
, He said the youth in America today is
different in attitude than when he en-
tered the foreign service because it has
:".no-banner to unfurl, and no particular:
clitiade to take part in."-
- He also said today's youth has 'a ten-

CIA Operations, Agency Official Says
By TED BELL -

The nation's secret intelligence
agencies are entering a "new era" in
their missions and relationship with a
free society but are still hampered
somewhat by a "crisis in confidence,"
the deputy diretter of the Central

Carlucci told an audience- of, more

But other measures invoked to al-

have raised serious problems, he said,
ranging from the Freedom of Infor,

tives who seek to disclose secret infor-
mation, to the definition of the respon.
Sibility of investigative reporters.
"I think we have to have clearly, an
appreciation on the part of theArrieri-
can people that secrecy is the heart at
an- intelligence operation," Carlucci-
Said. "Certainly government needs to
be accountable. And certainly people
like (Bob) Woodward and-- (Carl)

vice in what they do and certainly we

Carlucci emphasised that the reve-
lation of certain kinds of intelligence
information can place the lives of
people and their tamilies in danger.
and sources of intelligence informa-
tion must receive as much protection
? as do journalists' sources.
"We are frequently critcizecl,by the
press for excessive secrecy," said
Carlucci, "and I'm willing to concede
that there may well be a considerable
amount of over-classification in gove
eminent. I would just !nye that ray
journalist friends would argue just as
vigorously for the protection of interne
gence sources as they argee for the
protection of journalists' sources. To
me, the principle is the same, except.
in the cases of intelligence sources- we- -
, are frequently .dealing with peoples"
-lives.' ? '
, The deputy director said, "We are
also-in the age of glorification of the;
whistle-blower" at a, time when confi-
dence in government is. a a critical
juncture.

AFIO VOICES ALARM AT PROPOSED LEGISLATION
AFIO President Richard Stilwell told the Senate Select Committee on June 15 in Washington that S. 2525 ? the draft
proposal for restructuring the intelligence community ? contains crippling restrictions which will seriously diminish
future intelligence effectiveness. "As written," Stilwell said, "the bill is virtually a decision to stop all clandestine
operations, not only positive collection and counter-intelligence but also covert action." Referring to numerous presi-
dential approvals of certain clandestine activities required by the bill, Stilwell said that the procedures and personal
approval by the President of certain activities is a "mountain of red tape" and "an intolerable burden on the highest
levels of government."
John S. Warner, AFIO Legal Advisor, accompanied the Following the testimony of the AFIO president Senator

S. 2525 is known formally as the "National Intelligence
Reorganization and Reform Act of 1978." Stilwell told the
Committee that AFIO believes the bill is mislabeled: "The
word 'reform'," he stated, "has an unfortunate connota-
tion which is an affront to the thousands of dedicated
employees of the intelligence community who were never
aware of, (and never) participated in, the very few trans-
gressions which led to the many sensational charges of the
past few years."
In his statement, the AFIO President dealt with all
aspects of the proposed legislation which were considered
to cause difficulties for the efficient functioning of intel-
ligence. As an example, there are some 67 different pro-

INTRODUCTION TO SENATE TESTIMONY OF AFIO PRESIDENT STIL WELL
Mr. Chairman, thank you for the opportunity to appear
before this Committee to present the views of the Association of
Former Intelligence Officers (AFIO) on S. 2525, entitled the
"National Intelligence Reorganization and Reform Act of
1978." We are especially grateful because we are convinced that
our country's ability to cope effectively with the threats to
national and Free World security that we are certain to confront
over the remainder of this century will depend, in substantial
degree, on the professionalism and elan of the intelligence
community and the quality of its output.
A clarified charter for the intelligence agencies of this govern-
ment and clear-cut guidelines to govern thier activities are
needed We, therefore, support legislation to that end. But in
our considered view, S. 2525 does not fill the bill. It is long on
restrictons, short on flexibility to adjust to changing situations
and lacking incentives for greater excellence in intelligence.
Many of its provisions are ambiguous and would require almost
as many lawyers as case officers. It goes far beyond legitimate
and necessary Congressional oversight. A 263-page draft ?
incidentally, ten times the length of the entire National Security
Act of 1947 -- can fairly be labeled over-management. It is out
of balance. While designed to empower and guide the entire
range of national intelligence activities, it concentrates
excessively on a miniscule ? albeit vital ? segment of the total
effort. Overall, the drafting of S. 2525 appears not to have been
preceded by a detailed appraisal of the extant and projected
international and domestic environment, and the role that intel-
ligence must play in meeting the resultant challenge to the
security of this nation.
I realize this is a strong statement, but I am sure that this
Committee desires nothing less than complete candor. Before
addressing the various provisions of the Bill which are of major
concern, let me outline AFIO's perception of the role and
responsibilities of our intelligence agencies in the years ahead.
In out judgment, our intelligence resources will shoulder
burdens far in excess of any experienced to date in support of
foreign policy and protection of national security.
I am confident that the members of this Committee are under
no illusions regarding the ultimate designs of the Soviet Union.
The last decade has been witness to prodigious efforts to achieve
dominance in every dimension of military power; and the results
of this drive have been well documented by intelligence. The
Soviet Union is prepared for the eventuality of war at any level
but its leadership aspires to advance toward world hegemony
step by step, by means short of war. Thus, the principal role of
its Armed Forces is to undergird political and economic
initiatives intended to disrupt our alliances, sap the vitality of
the free enterprise system, isolate the United States and extend
Soviet influence into every quarter of the globe. But awareness
of the Soviet grand strategy is not a sufficient basis for effective
countermoves. The indispensable condition precedent for U.S.
and/or Allied actions to checkmate the Soviet Union is advance
knowledge of the substance and timing of specific actions to
further its expansionist policy. Our intelligence capabilities
must coalesce to meet this requirement. Like the strategic
nuclear TRIAD, our various intelligence capabilities ?
conspicuously including human intelligence ? are inter-
dependent and mutually reinforcing. Yet S. 2525, in its present
form, imposes troublesome ? approaching prohibitive ?
operational restraints on the conduct of clandestine collection,
i.e. old fashioned espionage.
The Soviet challenge is not the only threat to our vital
interests abroad. Indeed, there is hardly an area on the globe
where one can safely assume that peace and stability will
endure. Never before has the security and well-being of the
United States been more susceptible to disturbance by events
abroad. Our dependence on foreign energy sources is the most
dramatic case in point. Our economic life is heavily dependent
on foreign trade and resources, and our national defense relies
on foreign alliances and overseas bases. Thus situations
continue to arise in which we will find it necessary to try to
influence the course of events in furtherance of our legitimate
national interests. Sometimes these situations may be most
prudently and effectively dealt with through means short of
direct U.S. involvement. But again, S. 2525 imposes significant
obstacles, inhibiting the flexibility which is essential to the
success of such operations.
These introductory comments would be out-of-balance
without a word on counterintelligence. Without effective
counterintelligence, neither intelligence operations nor covert
actions can be pursued with confidence. The examples of
audacious and aggressive KGB operations in the United States
and abroad, including the "bugging" of our Embassy in
Moscow, which have recently surfaced, are but the tip of the
iceberg. Senator Moynihan aptly described the counterintel-
ligence threat as "massive." He is so right. Moreover, that
threat is growing. Identification of the specifics of that threat
and the countering of penetrations of our security necessitates a
major effort, sophisticated means and a high degree of opera-
tional resourcefulness. Some of the provisions of S. 2525 are not
in consonance with the magnitude of that vital and difficult
task.
Now, we turn to a detailed analysis of S. 2525 and those
specific provisions which we believe require thorough review and
modification.

Purpose,' Deputy Director Says
CIA Deputy Director Frank C. Carlucci, in his first public address since coming to the agency, said he feels a
"changing mood" toward CIA in the public, the press and Congress, and that it is gaining "a new sense of national
purpose." He also told a luncheon meeting of the Association of Former Intelligence Officers at Fort Myer, Va., on 17
May that there are a number of "important changes" being made at CIA, including more stress on relating signal
intelligence to photographic imagery, and increasing use of automatic data processing to help analysts cope with the
increasing flow of raw information.
Carlucci, who had been U.S. Ambassador to Portugal before assuming
responsibility for the day-to-day operations of CIA under Director Adm.
Stansfield Turner, told an audience of several hundred that CIA is "very
vibrant, very much alive and very much looking toward the future. You
may say I'm absolutely crazy," but "I come at this agency with a
fundamentally optimistic outlook which I've always had."
At State Department posts in Africa, as director of the Office of
Economic Opportunity and in other positions, Carlucci said he had faced
dire predictions, but that "none of those things came to pass. There's a
much greater chance they will come to pass if that's all we dwell on."
Today, he said, intelligence agencies "find greater use for the end
product; there is greater access to high levels" of the Administration and
Congress; "there is a greater opportunity to build public support, and
there is an unparalleled opportunity to work with Congress."
He admitted there are four major problems facing CIA, but also said
there are bright spots.
'Unending Compromise'
"The first and most serious" is "what seems to be the unending com-
promise of sources and methods." He noted that previously in testimony
to the Senate Intelligence Committee, former CIA chief Richard Helms
said the agency is "hemorrhaging" with leaks. "Indeed," said Carlucci,
"that's the sensation you sometimes get. If you can't protect sources or
methods, you can't live. I've seen revelations where people's lives have
literally been put in danger. To this day, we can't tell whether they're alive
or dead."
But "the other side of that coin" is that "there's not a lot that's come
out, particularly given the opportunity for financial gain. Leaks do not
come from those that work in the community. There's less and less from
the Hill, and none from retired officers. They come from officers who feel
ill-equipped or have personal grievances." Some have said, Carlucci noted,
that "Moral dilemmas often come on the heels of personal grievances."
"I feel the answer isn't solely in legislation," but in creating an
"atmosphere where there is a respect for professionalism. . .and high
standards. I have an idea some of these revelations are not falling on quite
as fertile ground as they fell on before."
A second problem is stories in the press about internal CIA affairs ? for
instance, a study by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) that working conditions at headquarters in Langley, Va., are not
up to par. But, "If we're being criticized by OSHA, we're generating a lot
of sympathy around the country." Similarly, a recent newspaper story
about CIA want ads resulted in a jump in overall applications.
"We are in the public eye," but "the people (want) fair play. I think
they're becoming increasingly supportive." They are asking "who's
worrying about the other side (Soviet intelligence services)?" Carlucci said
Director Turner has "talked of an open policy," but stressed that "it's not
giving away classified information, but taking information that can be de-
classified and making it part of the public dialogue" so the public "can see
the very high quality" of CIA work. So far, this policy has not given away
"a source or a method."
A third major problem is "the role of Congress. There have been a lot of
sensational hearings, and there will probably be some more. . .But Con-
gress has gradually learned more about (the intelligence community)." It
now has "separate committees" for intelligence matters and there are
"very few leaks (today), if any, out of those committees.
"Sure," said Carlucci, "we still have to define the difference between
oversight and micromanagement. But we are in a dialogue where we are
creating mutual confidence. We're closer to a national concensus that will
enable a return to professionalism."
The fourth problem is "charter legislation," specifically Senate Bill S.
2525, which is aimed at coming up with new ways for CIA to operate. It
"raises a lot of questions and problems," but "you have to look at the
legislative process: a bill introduced is not a bill that is passed." It must
come up for debate, and "we will speak up." Furthermore, "there are
signs we will gain significant support. . .It's a process of compromise. . .
After you do it in one house (of Congress), you do it in the other house, . . .
and it's all taking place" in a better atmosphere for CIA.
Carlucci noted that "the traditionalists say we oughtn't to have any
legislation. Indeed, this is a difficult and challenging task. But first, we
have passed the point of no return. . . and second, given the problems and
the confidence issues raised. . .about the intelligence community. . .the
best way to handle it is to get an agreed-upon charter and agreed-upon
standards, where they (Congress) agree and we go ahead. . ."
Overall, said Carlucci, "I don't mean to leave you with the impression
that all is sweetness and light. I don't know how many more skeletons will
be dragged out of the closet." CIA, Carlucci said, has put in "109 man-
years of effort on 16,000 requests under the Freedom of Information Act. I
once told Congress that if the KGB (Soviet Committee for State Security)
put in a request (under F01), we would have ten days to respond, and if we
turned their request down, they would have 20 days to appeal."
But in general, "I sense a changing mood and a more favorable climate
in which to operate."
'A Very Different Set Of Skills'
Along with the new climate, "the intelligence product has changed..
Today's intelligence (comes from) an integrated approach. . .You can't see
Ethiopia as an isolated country," for instance. It must be studied in
relation to "the Sudan, Kenya, Angola, and its impact on the Middle
East."
Issues, such as strategic arms limitation and nuclear proliferation, are
now being viewed in the same way. A "cross-cutting" of intelligence is
used.
And, said Carlucci, "new areas" are being covered. Drugs "are becom-
ing an increasingly important part of the agency's activities;" terrorism is
being looked at more closely; theories of economics are being studied with
new emphasis ? Soviet strategic developments are now evaluated "in the
light of economic prospects;" and national resources, including oil, are
getting more attention from CIA.
"So we have a very different set of skills" that in the past. "It's why we
have a dual-headed system" of administration that covers both the CIA
and the intelligence community as a whole. Director Turner now "has
some budget clout and believe me, that is teeth."

AFIO SUPPORTS BELL ON WITHHOLDING INFORMANT'S IDENTITIES
The following is a copy of a Mailgram sent to Attorney General Griffin Bell lauding his refusal, under the threat of
contempt of court charges, to release the names of former FBI informants in the civil suit brought by the Socialist
Workers' Party:
Recently the Association of Former Intelligence Officers was critical of your decision to proceed with the indictments
of three former high ranking FBI officials. We are still hopeful that those indictments will be withdrawn. It is now our
Association's turn to commend you for your strong stand on the release of the names of eighteen informants sought by
the Socialist Workers' Party. We applaud your personal courage in taking that position. It evinces your clear understand-
ing of the great harm which could befall intelligence and law enforcement agencies if they could not guarantee the
confidentiality of sources. We fervently hope that the courts will have the wisdom to uphold the essentiality of that
guarantee.

FLORIDA
The First Annual Florida State AFIO Conference was a successful
reunion in Lake Placid on 28 April, with AFIO National President Dick
Stilwell receiving a standing ovation from delegates after his speech. Alice
Stilwell and ,AFIO Executive Director Jack Coakley also attended the
initial Florida-wide conclave of former intelligence officers.
Chairman Stan Phillips reviewed the progress of the group and outlined
plans for chapters in Fort Myers and the Panhandle region north of
Gainesville. Stan also announced that planning will be beginning soon for
both the 1979 State Conference and the 1980 National Convention,
scheduled to be held in Florida. The meeting was brought to a successful
conclusion with short talks by Al Patti, Herman Bly and O.D. Simpson.
During the business meeting Stan Phillips unveiled his plans for a
Florida State Action Committee. Stan is forming this group to assist all
members interested in making speeches in their communities, media
appearances, or in other ways speaking out on behalf of AFIO and the
intelligence community.
In his Suneoast Chapter News, May edition, editor Dave Kelsey praised
Stan Phillips, Al Bembry and Marea Wynn for their roles in making the
first state-wide gathering a reality.
PENNSYLVANIA
Volume 1, Number 1 of the newsletter of the Keystone State Chapter of
AFIO was circulated in June. It reported on the first general membership
meeting which met at the Carlisle Barracks Officers' Club on 6 May.
Chapter by-laws were adopted and plans approved for a program for the
coming year. Regular meetings will be held during the months of January.
March and May, with an annual meeting each November.
Officers have been elected for the chapter: President, Col. E.E. Welch;
Vice President, Edward L. Hickcox; Secretary/Treasurer, Barry Ryan;
Directors: COL. 'Thomas B. Hennessey and Frank M. Schramko. A
nominating committee for future elections is composed of Gen. Joseph E.
McCarthy, Col. Dale J. Hanks and Benedict M. Johnston.
NEW ENGLAND
AIR) members from five states convened in Newport, Rhode Island
on 20 May for a gathering of the New England Chapter. Helen Priest Deck.
who is also a member of AFIO's Board of Directors, presided. A
contingent of travelers from national headquarters was on hand, including
John Maury, Walter Pforzheimer, Larry Houston, Harry Rositzke and
Dave Phillips; as was the Chairman of the AFIO Board of Directors Lyman
B. Kirkpatrick, Jr., and his wife. AFIO member Rita Kirkpatrick.
In the principal address Senator Clairborne Pell spoke after luncheon.
l'he Rhode Island legislator, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, cited a need for new legislation, saying the 1947 act was overly
broad and been used to authorize -many unwise, unproductive and un-
democratic acts." But Pell cautioned against overlegislation. "A President
must be permitted enough flexibility under the law," he said, "to protect
national security."
The reunion received extensive publicity in the Providence Sunday
Journal and other media; with detailed reporting on the panel discussion
on impending legislation in which Messrs. Maury, Houston and
Pforzheimer were the principal participants.
GREATER NEW YORK
The first membership meeting was held in New York on 16 May and,
despite a rainy, wet night, attracted a good number of AFIO members
from Manhattan and its environs. It was resolved the group will be known
as the Greater New York Chapter (plans are being made for another state
chapter with headquarters in Syracuse).
An Executive Committee was elected: a Chairman, Secretary/Treasurer,
and three members. These are, respectively, Derek A. Lee, Ralph Vollono,
George Bookbinder, William Hood and Gus Vellios.
"The next meeting of the new group is planned for September, just prior
to the National Convention in early October, so that the Greater New York
Chapter delegate to San Diego will be able to represent the membership at
the convention.
CALIFORNIA
An especially noteworthy gathering celebrated the 1)-Day anniversary in
June when the Orange County Chapter held a dinner-meeting in Tustin,
California. The principal speaker was AFIO member Rear Admiral "Ben"
1,3ass, who discussed 1)-Day and the other two-thirds of the war: the fight to
VI Day and the ongoing intelligence battle which has continued ever since.
Special guests included AFIO member Lt. General William R. Peers and
General Curtis LeMay. 82 guests from the area attended the evening
meeting. (See photo).

Very Special Intelligence: The Story of the Admiralty's Operational
Intelligence Center, 1939-1945
New York: Doubleday, 1978
This excellent book, already published in England, and scheduled for
U.S. publication this month, is one of the most accurate of its kind. The
Operational Intelligence Center (OIC) in British Naval Intelligence was
established to furnish the all-source intelligence necessary to combat, in
particular, German submarine and raider elements, and their naval escort
ships, as well as other German operations, especially along American.
British supply routes in the North Atlantic. The vital convoys in this area
were particularly necessary for the survival of Britain. Beesly, who was
deputy chief of the Submarine Tracking Room in OIC, has had access to
many of the pertinent British naval records, including recently declassified
ULTRA documents. An important element of this book is the fact that the
Germans were reading many of the British naval codes until well into 1943.

The Storm Petrels: The Flight of the First Soviet Defectors
New York: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1978
The author, a British journalist, has set forth a well written study of
early Soviet defectors from 1928 until the beginning of World War II. The
book commences with the defection of Boris Bajanov, personal assistant to
Stalin and secretary to the Politburo. Bajanov, still living in France,
defected in 1928 and was interviewed extensively by Brook-Shepherd. The
four other major defectors described are Grigory Bessedovsky, Georges
Agabekov, Walter Krivitsky, and Alexander Orlov. The stories of other
defectors are intertwined. As the author states in his preface, this book
sometimes reads like "novels of spy fiction", but it is highly authoritative.

The Luciano Project: The Secret Wartime Collaboration of the Mafia and
the U.S. Navy
New York: McGraw-Hill Book Co., 1977
The author here describes the use of Mafia personnel (including the key
figure, the imprisoned Charles "Lucky" Luciano) to secure the New York
waterfront from sabotage and subversion of vital cargo shipments in the
early stages of World War H. There is also some indication of the use of
these persons for positive intelligence for the invasion of Sicily. This book is
based on the official report of New York State Commissioner of Investiga-
tion William Herlands in support of Governor Dewey's earlier commuta-
tion of Luciano's prison term and the latter's subsequent deportation. At
Naval Intelligence request, the Herlands Report was kept secret until it
formed the basis of this book.
COLBY, William E.
Honorable Men: My Life in the CIA
New York: Simon and Schuster, 1978
This book describes Colby's intelligence career, commencing with his
assignments in OSS in World War II when he parachuted behind the lines
on hazardous missions in France and Norway. He then details his CIA
career in which he rose from case officer and other assignments to become
Director of Central Intelligence during its most troubled and controversial
times ? the aftermath of Watergate and the Congressional Hearings into
alleged misdeeds by CIA and the Intelligence Community. He also
discusses his role as an Ambassador in Vietnam and the pacification and
Phoenix programs there.

The Wizard War: British Scientific Intelligence, 1939-1945
New York: Coward, McCann 8t Geoghegan, 1978
This book, already published in England and scheduled for June pub-
lication here, describes the author's experiences as a scientific intelligence
advisor to the RAF and the British Secret Intelligence Service, as well as
his associations with senior British scientific personnel throughout World
War II. It has received very favorable reviews in British circles.
KAHN, David.
Hitler's Spies: German Military Intelligence in World War II
New York: Macmillan, 1978
This is the most detailed study on this subject in English, written by the
author of The Codebreakers, a classic book on cryptology. As it has just
been published, there has been no time for professional review. This
volume is based on personal interviews with participants and on extensive
research of documentary material. Mr. Kahn is an AFIO member.
MONTAGU, Ewen E. S.
Beyond Top Secret Ultra
New York: Coward, McCann & Geoghegan, 1978
This book is the World War II memoir of a British Naval Intelligence
Officer, Ewen Montagu. In particular, he was the Naval Intelligence
member of the Double-Cross (XX) Committee headed by John Masterman.
This Committee set the policy for running the doubled German agents in
England against the German Abwehr for intelligence and deception
purposes up to and through the Normandy invasion. Montagu handled all
of the ULTRA and Abwehr traffic pertaining to naval XX matters in
furtherance of the XX Committee's activities. Montagu also briefly
describes Operation Mincemeat, a major British deception operation in
connection with the Allied invasion of Sicily. He was the case officer for
this operation, which is described in greater detail in his earlier book, The
Man Who Never Was. These memoirs are highly authoritative.
MOSLEY, Leonard.
Dulles: A Biography of Eleanor, Allen, and John Foster Dulles and Their
Family Network
New York: Dial Press, 1978
This is a journalistic account of the lives of Allen Dulles, Director of
Central Intelligence, his brother, John Foster Dulles, Secretary of State hr
the Eisenhower administration, and their sister, Eleanor, who had a long
career in government, largely in the Department of State. An attempt is
made to describe how their lives intertwined. Unfortunately, the book
contains so many errors that it must be read with great caution.
WALTERS, Lieutenant General Vernon A.
Silent Missions
New York: Doubleday & Co., 1978
Walters enlisted as a private in the U.S. Army at the beginning of World
War II and retired in 1976 in the grade of Lt. Gen. from the position of
Deputy Director of Central Intelligence. During those years, he had a
unique intelligence career as a military and defense attache, and as an
interpreter at many high level meetings between U.S. Presidents (and other
senior government officials) and foreign Chiefs of State. Many of Gen.
Walters' assignments were based not only on his great discretion but also
on his fine acumen and incredible command of foreign languages. As
Defense Attache in Paris, he was able to infiltrate and exfiltrate Henry
Kissinger (then Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs) in
and out of Paris well over a dozen times for secret talks with the North
Vietnamese. In addition, Gen. Walters initiated several meetings with the
Chinese leading up to President Nixon's historic trip to China in 1972. He
also includes a chapter on the CIA's rejection of White House attempts to
involve it in the Watergate cover-up. This book contains many footnotes to
history and is written with all of Gen. Walters' brilliance as a raconteur.
WEINSTEIN, Allen.
Perjury: The Hiss-Chambers Case
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1978
Weinstein, a professor of history at Smith College, has written the most
comprehensive study to date of the case of Alger Hiss, a former senior State
Department official. In this, the author was aided by the declassification
and release of thousands of pages of formerly classified government docu-
ments about the case. Weinstein began his work in the belief that Hiss had
been unjustly convicted. When he had ended his research, he was con-
vinced that Hiss was guilty. It is an important study of a major case of

NBC-TV RESPONDS TO AFIO LETTER
In the last issue we printed a letter sent by AFIO to
the Chairman of the Board of the National Broad-
casting Company which was critical of the program
"Spying for Uncle Sam" which was aired on March
28, 1978. The Law Department of NBC has re-
sponded. Following are some extracts from that
reply:
. . . We regret that you were displeased by the
program. It was not the intent of NBC News to
condemn the CIA or question the need for its opera-
tions. The program had quite a different purpose ?
to report on the personal experience of one couple
that had been involved in certain CIA operations.
NBC recognizes that other people might have
had a completely different experience
"In your letter you assert that broadcasting
the program obligates NBC, under the FCC's fairness
doctrine, to present the 'other side' of the 'con-
troversial issue of public importance' purportedly
discussed. We do not agree. In the first place, we do
not believe that the program dealt with 'a con-
troversial issue of public importance' within the
meaning of the FCC's fairness doctrine
....."While we cannot agree with your views on
SPYING FOR UNCLE SAM, we thank you for sharing
them with us. We also assure you that NBC News
will continue to cover CIA subjects as they become
newsworthy."
Remember when the then young Gordon
was known to sports fans across the country
Scotchman? McLendon was a prominent sportscaster in
the days when Big League games were not broadcast
nationally ? until Gordon came up with the idea of "re-
creation", using sound effect records and a highly
developed sense of the dramatic to create the impression
that he was on the scene, live, instead of in a radio studio!

An AFIO Letter To The House Of Representatives
Dear Mr. Chairman:
As President of the Association of Former Intelligence Officers (AFIO), I have the honor to present the views of our
Association on H.R. 7308, the "Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978" on which your Subcommittee is presently
holding hearings.
We vigorously oppose this bill insofar as it requires a judicial warrant to
obtain foreign intelligence by use of electronic surveillance of a "foreign
power" or "agent of a foreign power." The provisions which so require run
contrary to the national interest. They correct no known abuse, greatly
inhibit foreign intelligence activities, create substantial new security
hazards, afford no additional safeguards for rights of Americans, and are
inconsistent with the Constitution as repeatedly interpreted by the
Supreme Court. It is frankly incredulous that the Congress and the Execu-
tive should be joining hands in this bill ? and its Senate counterpart ? to
strip the Presidebt of his Constitutional prerogatives in the pursuit of no
known constructive purpose and at the price of major reduction of effec-
tiveness of intelligence.
The full substance of our position is set forth in my 15 June testimony
before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence with respect to S. 2525;
and I therefore attach a copy of that testimony. Incorporated therein is the
statement of John S. Warner, Legal Advisor to this Association, before the
House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence on January 17, 1978.
His testimony is fully consistent with the dissenting views of that
Committee in its report on H.R. 7308 (Report 95-1283, Pt. I, dated June 8,
1978). I want to place on the record the position of AFIO as further endors-
ing both these dissenting views and the substitute bill sponsored by Mr.
McClory, subject to the latter's modifications as outlined hereinafter.
. . .But our principal concern relates to the standards themselves. Not
only must it be shown that the foreign power engages in clandestine
activities in the United States, it must also be shown that such activities are
contrary to the interests of the United States. If a foreign power is conduct-
ing intelligence activities in secret in the United States ? and it would not
be prudent to assume that any foreign power is not ? surely no one would
DUES TIME AGAIN!
During the past year we changed our annual dues
payment system from a "Dues Year" (1 June-31 May)
to a twelve month period for each member. This was
done so members joining throughout the year would
receive full value for their payment. Those of you who
were previously on the "Dues Year" will find that your
annual renewal is now payable. The fee is still only
$10.00. To verify your payment date, check your blue
and white laminated Membership Card, reproduced
below. The DAY and MONTH shown as "Dues
Date" in the lower left corner are the day and month
your 1978 payment is required. Remember that your
annual dues remain the only significant source of
revenue for AFIO and they are deductible. We urge
you to be prompt with your remittance.

believe that the motivation for such activity is benevolence towards the
United States. The universally accepted meaning of "clandestine intel-
ligence activities," is espionage, pure and simple. The convoluted words in
the report which attempt to explain this statutory standard result in a
distortion of the generally understood meaning of words. The requirement
as stated in the report that the Government must "show that the foreign
power has demonstrated some pattern or practice of engaging in
clandestine intelligence activities in the United States contrary to the
interests of the United States" is far too restrictive and far too harsh. In
effect, it says you can't collect the first or second time such activities occur,
but only if there is a pattern or practice. How many times does it take to
establish a pattern or practice? We believe this is absurd. Even if it is the
first time, let intelligence collect!
The wording with respect to these two matters creates inflexibility and
denies opportunities. Such wording should never be in a statute. We
believe the collection of intelligence from foreigners should not be
regulated in detail by law so long as the rights of Americans are safe-
guarded. We do not believe the Constitution requires the Executive to
forego collection of needed intelligence from foreigners in the United
States. The Congress should have the wisdom not to limit the Executive
unduly, having in mind the vast responsibility placed on the President by
the Constitution in the field of foreign relations and national security. If
there is any balance to be struck in this area, surely it should be struck in
favor of the President, permitting him to have flexibility and to seize
opportunities to fulfill his awesome responsibilities.
Just a word concerning the Constitutional issue. The injection of the
Judiciary into the foreign intelligence arena, as this bill does, raises pro-
found issues bearing on basic Constitutional concepts to which the
Supreme Court has addressed itself many times. This legal history is
reviewed in the attachment to this letter and in the dissenting views on the
House Intelligence Committee Report on H.R. 7308. We are aware that
many witnesses have discussed this area. Therefore, we shall not dwell on
this except to say that to give the Judiciary approval, or disapproval, auth-
ority relating to intelligence collection activities conducted by the Executive
against foreigners is simply not consistent with the Constitution.
AFIO stands ready to testify on this most serious matter and will be glad
to answer any specific questions the Subcommittee may have. The more
than 2,500 members of AFIO are former intelligence professionals.
Included are officers thoroughly familiar with all aspects of intelligence
activities and many who have spent careers in applying and interpreting
the law with respect to such activities. One such is Mr. John S. Warner,
former General Counsel of the Central Intelligence Agency who provided
the substance of this letter. AFIO offers you its full cooperation and
assistance.Richard G. Stilwell

in the center of Zaire's copper-mining
industry, which is now believed 'to be
in the hands of the invading forces. :

in this city, Saudi Arabia's Minister of

said a funny thing had happened: Ambas-
sador All Abdullah Alireza had gotten him
rooms on the 15th floor of the Madison and
was taking him to lunch at the F Street
Club. .
On a serious note, Ghazi told the 40
diners: "I want to tell you something
about our government, It's called feudal;
it's called absolute, it's called what-have-
you, but it is'a system we are proud of. It
? is a system in which the king considers

"It's .a system that has managed in 10

tem that has managed to bring the 20th

Russians and Cubans in
By ARTHUR SCHLESINGER Ju.
, In recent weeks Washington has resur-
rected the doctrine of linkage. Linkage'
means that, if the Russians make trouble
In one area?Africa, for example?we will
seek to punish them by denying them
something in another area?say, the SALT
talks. Linkage began as a cherished theory
of the Nixon administration. It had little ef-
fect when applied. The Carter administra-
tion started by disowning it. Now the White
House, ,though not the State Department,
appears to be sidling toward It, apparently
because it cannot figure out any other way
of reacting to the Soviet-Cuban assault on
Africa. -.
The doctrine presents an evident di ffis
culty. It implies in the case at hand that
we are doing the Soviet Union a great fa-
vor by trying to reach a SALT agreement.
But obviously the only reason we are en-
gaged in SALT talks at all is because we
believe the limitation of _nuclear weapons
to be in our own interest. If we did not be-
lieve that. we had no business in holding
the talks. Arms control is a favor not just
? to the Soviet Union but to ourselves as
well, and to all mankind. To say that we
? won't conclude an arms control agreement
because we don't like what the Russians
are doing in Africa deserves precisely the
childish metaphors that spring to mind:
cutting off our nose to spite our face, or
threatening to go into the garden and eat
dirt. If arms control is in. our own interest,
as It plainly is. we punish ourselves quite
as much as we do the Russians in declining
to reach an agreement.
Linkage raises another question: Ex-,
.actly what kind of Communist threat Is this
In Africa that we are getting so excited
about? A recurrent experience of the
American people Is to discover that some
exotic locality of which they had not pre-
etiously heard is vital to the naticinal secu-
rity of the United States. An unknown
place that had never before disturbed our
dreams suddenly becomes a dagger
pointed at the heart of something or other,
a capstone to a hitherto undiscerned arch,.
the key to some momentous global conflict.
_
Yesteryear's Prophecy
A few years ago the high priests of na-
tional security told us that the communiza-
tion of Vietnam would be fatal to our world
, position. In consequence we endured the
most disgraceful war in our history to
"save" Vietnam. Well, we lost the war,
and Indochina indeed went Communist.
What happened to our world position? To-
day .the Communist states are fighting sav-
agely' among themselves, as could have
been predicted, and the threat to American
security has not risibly increased.
'Novi., that we are mercifully out of
. Southeast Asia, the high priesthood, which
has a vested interest in crisis, tells us that
' Africa has become the key to our security.
In 1976 we were given to understand that
Angola was the crucial spot. In early 1978
? everything suddenly turned on the Horn of
?Africa. The Horn of Africa! Who among us
had ever.-heard of the Horn of Africa six.
months ago? Yet our national fate was

; structed us, in the outcome of a local con-
flict between Somalia and Ethiopia.
ee' And all this, we are assured, Is only the
beginning. The diabolical Russians and Cu-
bans are engaged in a monster plot to take
over all Africa. "We are witnessing the
most determined campaign to expand for-
eign influence in this troubled region,"
Frank Carlucci, the deputy director of CIA,
tells the Senate Armed Services Commit-
tee. "since it was carved up by the Euro-
pean powers In the late 19th Century.... It
ds my view that Moscow and Havana in-
tend to take advantage of every such op-
? portunity to demonstrate that those who
accept their political philosophy can also
.count on receiving their assistance."
? Let us try to sort out some of these is-
, .
sues. No one can doubt that the Russians
are using the Cubans in a massive effort to
dominate Africa: nor that success in this
effort would create problems for the West.
But an intention does not by. itself consti-
tute a threat. The serious question is: What-
prospect do the Russians have for estab-
lishing a permanent presence in Africa? ?
Now Africa is a multitribal culture, pos-
sessed by its own traditions, .absorbed in

world, consumed byindigenous emotions of
nationalism and tribalism, immune to
Western ideas and tastitutions. It is safe to
say that communism Is as irrelevant as
parliamentary deroecracy to the historic
patterns of African thought and behavior.
Evelyn Waugh remains the best guide to
the idiocy of the West trying to do anything
In an awakened Afra.' a. To invoke Waugh, I
supppse, Is to risk charges of frivolity or
worse. Such a reactbn misses Waugh's es-
sential point. What he wrote about with
deadly accuracy in "Scoop" and "Bieck
-Mischief" was the talzI irrelevance to Afri-
can mores of Western values, as proved
both by the Westerners who tried to im-
pose them and the Africans who tried to
adopt them. Corruminism and capitalism
are In the African view equally Western,
equally materialistre equally rationalistic,
equally remote floes a system of ancient
and irremediably total cultures. ,? ? ? .
?- When Mr. Ceriuml says that the Rui-

Armed Services Cartmittee, and no doubt
himself too. Like all nationalists, black Af-
rican leaders figiterg their private wars

By Jack Fuller
Chicago Tribune Press Service ?
WASHINGTON ? The Carter administration, as it
begins to draft legislation limiting the powers of intelli-
gence agencies and protecting civil liberties, faces a
sharp and significant internal conflict.
Who shall write the legislation, lawyers or intelli-
gence operatives?
The conflict pits CIA Director Stansfield Turner
against the President's national security adviser, Zbig-
niew Brzezinski.
At issue, some government sources say, is whether
the administration bill will be restrictive enough te
accommodate congressional concerns about the rights
of Americans.
THE TRIBUNE has learned that Turner originally
proposed creating a committee to work on the so-
called "intelligence charter," composed of the general
counsels of the intelligence agencies and chaired by
CIA general counsel Tony Lapham. But Brzezinski
strongly objected to this plan, intelligence sources say.
Brzezinski, who earlier fought to loosen restrictions
in a presidential order on intelligence agencies and in
the administration's wiretap bill, insisted that the leg-
islation be written by those who actually run intelli-
gence operations, the sources said.
He favors a committee of operational intelligence
officials, chaired by CIA Deputy Driector Frank Car-
lucci, the sources said.
THE IDEA OF imposing legislative charters on intel-
ligence agencies grew out of the investigations of the
Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Activities, ,
which revealed that spy agencies have been paying
little mind to the legality of their operations. ?
Some critics of the U.S. intelligence apparatus laid
part of the blame on the failure of some agencies to
consult with their lawyers on questions of law raised
by various information-gathering techniques. - . .
Often, during the period of reassessment and reform
that followed the select committee's revelations, intelli-
gence agency general counsels found themselves in
conflict with operatives over the legality of details in
. I
spy operations.
It was learned that the Justice Department favors a i
committee composed of lawyers to draft the intelli=i
gence restrictions.

S Um& Is Drawn
eller Into Africa
Carter's goals are set: majority rule, human rights,
economic development, a continent at peace. Some are
asking what price Americans may have to pay.
For a continent that most Americans
knew and cared little about for so long,
Africa is fast turning into a major diplo-
matic and economic concern. ?
U.S. foreign policy is not focused pri-
marily on Africa, but what happens
there often is crucial to Washington's
relations with allies and adversaries.
The continent is an arena for super-
power rivalry as well as for contests
pitting the West and conservative Arab
nations on one side against the Com-
munist world on the other.
Wars involving African nations affect
U.S. strategic interests It was Egypt's
defeat by Israel in 1967 that closed one
of the world's most important , water-
ways, the Suez Canal. Not until after
the 1973 war was it reopened.
Footholds for Russia. A civil war in
Angola and conflict between Somalia
and Ethiopia gave the Russians power-
ful footholds on the continent and the
potential to cripple Western Europe.
An estimated 80 percent of the oil and
70 percent of the strategic materials
used by America's NATO Allies move
by sea along Africa's West Coast or
through the Red Sea and Suez Canal.
Ancient empires?British, Portu-
guese, French and Spanish?have dis-
appeared from Africa. But a new one is
springing to life.
As Frank Carlucci, deputy director
of the Central Intelligence Agency, de-
scribed it to a Senate subcommittee
early in April: "The degree of Soviet
and Cuban military activity in sub-Sa-
haran Africa is unprecedented. We are
witnessing the most determined cam-
paign to expand foreign influence in
this troubled region since it was carved
up by the European powers in the late
19th century."
South Africa and Rhodesia claim
they are manning the front lines
against Communist encroachment. But
that is not how most Africans view de-
velopments in the two countries. And
the U.S., being drawn more deeply into
African affairs, sees the growing con-
flict between whites and blacks as a
time bomb.
In what many called a "last chance"
effort to prevent race war in Rhodesia,
Secretary of State Cyrus Vance set out
in mid-April for a new round of talks
with Rhodesia's Prime Minister Ian
Smith, the three moderate black lead-
ers in Smith's transitional government
and the leaders of the Black Patriotic,
Front's guerrilla armies.
Carter's aims. Vance's latest effort
grew out of the goals set forth by Presi-
dent Carter in his April 1 speech in 1
Lagos, Nigeria. He called for majority
rule and human rights, for economic ?
growth and development that would ;
meet the basic needs of all Africans.
The U.S., he said, was Committed to an
Africa that was at peace, free from co- '
lonialism, racism and military interfer-
ence by outside nations.
Enunciating policy is one thing, but
applying it effectively is somethingelse. Most of the black-ruled nations
are poor and underdeveloped. Only a .
few such as Nigeria, Angola and Gabon
have oil. The U.S. has stakes in all three :I
through investment and trade. ?
Until recently, most U.S. invest-
ments were poured. into South Africa,
but the trend now is toward other na-
tions. Botswana, for example, has at-
tracted a 300-million-dollar investment
by U.S., West German and South Afri-
can firms to extract copper and nickel.
Up to 20 billion dollars or more is ex-
pected to be poured into plants and
tankers that will supply the U.S. with
liquefied natural gas from Algeria.
Some difficulties. Africa's newly in-
dependent governments are inexperi-
enced, lack trained manpower and as a
result are hard to negotiate with. They
vary from monarchies to democracies,
from military juntas to one-man dicta-
torships. Some are Marxist. Others lean
toward an African-style capitalism.
The continent's greatest experiment
in cooperation?the East African Com-
munity of Kenya, Uganda and Tanza-
nia?collapsed in its 10th year, a victim
of extreme nationalism, economic war-
fare and personal feuds. _
Even in the 48-nation Organization
of African Unity, there are few com-
mon ties other than opposition to
white rule in Africa and to changing
national boundaries by force.
Dealing with these disparate nations,
as well as Rhodesia and South Africa,
will be a test of how much the U.S.
values its growing stakes in Africa. 0 -

made before he testified in closed ses-
sion, contained no information about,
the size of the Soviet and t uban
tary presence in sub-Saharan Africa
that had not been made public previ;r

Instead, his statement was notable
primarily for its rhetoric. He de-
scribed Soviet and Cuban activities in

s His statement concentrated' prima-
rily on the situation in Angola, where

where they recently helped crush an

The CIA is primarily responsible
for making the estimates of Soviet

was much stronger than anything that
has been said publicly by Secretary of

has tended to talk about it in softer

During recent weeks, Brzezinski has
used an increasingly harsh and con-

that it has caused speculation about
policy differences between the State
Department and the NSC.

Reds going altout in Africa: CIA
WASHINGTON [Uun] ? The Soviet
Union and Cuba are lauching the greatest
campaign to expand foreign influence
south of the Sahara ? since European
powers carved up Africa in the the 19th
Century, deputy CIA director Frank
Carlucci said Monday.
Carlucci, flanked by agency experts,
appeared before the Senate Armed Serv-
ices Subcommittee on Intelligence to
testify on Soviet and Cuban activity and
intentions in the whole of Africa. .
IN A BRIEF STATEMENT and in an-
swer to a general questions before the
meeting was closed to the public, Car:.
lucci,said:
0 "The degree of Soviet and Cuban
military activity in sub-Saharan Africa
is unprecedented. We are witnessing the
most determined campaign to expand
foreign influence in this troubled region
since it was carved up by the European
powers in the late 19th Century."
1) Soviet military equipment has been
flowing into Ethiopia and Angola "faster
than the local forces can absorb it."
.Tank deliveries to Ethiopia exceed 400;
more than 50 MIG fighters have gone to
Addis Ababa, as have "huge quantities
of armored cars, personnel carriers, and
artillery."
? 0 Soviet and Cuban general officers
"plan and coordinate combat operations
involving more than 16,000 Cuban
troops." 'Soviet military aid coaziitted
to Ethiopia "now ranges close to $1 bil-
lion."
0 In Angola, "tons of Soviet military
hardware litter the clocks at Luanda,
and Soviet or Cuban advisers are found
at every level of the government . . .
there are more Cuban soldiers in Angola
than in Ethiopia, thousands of them en-
gaged in active combat against UNITA
fan anti-Communist forcei in the south-
ern part of the country."
In Africa south of the Sahara, Carluc-
ci said, Soviet equipment is being deliv-
ered to liberation movements and self-
styled revolutionary ,egunes vitioEe
forces are being trained by Cubans and'
Soviets.
"It is my view that Moscow and Ha-
vana intend to take advantage of every
such opportunity to demonstrate that
those who accept ther political philoso-
phy can also count on receiving their
assistance when it is needed," Carlucci
said.
IN ANSWER TO questions from sub?
committee chairman Harry F. Byrd Jr.;
fL, Va.I, Carlucci said the CIA does not.,
yet have sufficient information on Soma-
ii reports that the Soviets were behind
reported recent coup attempts in Soma-;,
ha. ?
?
Shooting apparently broke out in two7,
places, he said, but information was;
spotty. on who originated the fighting.%
The wording of Somali reports on the
coup attempts would indicate Soviet
complicity, he said.

Mr. Chairman:
I welcome the opportunity to appear before your
Subcommittee this morning. Admiral Turner asked that I
convey to you his regrets that he is unable to be present
but he had a previously scheduled hearing.
CIA has had a long and, I think, mutually profitable
relationship with your parent Committee. Both the Director
and I look forward to the same relationship with the Sub-
committee on Intelligence. We will be happy to appear
before you to provide intelligence aSsessments of world
developments and we shall certainly do everything we can
to assist you in exercising your oversight role,.
This morning, we are going to discuss with you the
foreign military presence in Africa. I'am sure you
understand that much of this briefing is, and must remain,
classified. But, I think I might make a few general

As you know, Mr. Chairman, I have had some experience
in African affairs. ?Speaking from this background, let. re
state that the degree of Soviet and Cuban military activity
in Subsaharan Africa is unprecedented. We are witnessing
the most determined campaign to expand foreign influence
in this troubled region since it was carved up by the
European powers in the late 19th century.
Soviet military equipment has been flowing into
Ethiopia and Angola faster than the local forces can
absorb it. Tank deliveries to Ethiopia exceed 400; more
than 50 MIG fighters have gone to Addis Ababa as have huge
of armored cars, personnel carriers, and artillery.
Cuban general officers plan and coordinate combat
involving more than 16,000 Cuban troops. The
quantities
Soviet and
operations
Soviet military aid commitment to Ethiopia now ranges. close
to one billion US dollars..
in Angola, tons of Soviet military hardware litter the
docks at Luanda and Soviet or Cuban advisors are found at
every level of the government. There are more Cuban soldiers
in Angola than in Ethiopia; thousands of them engaged in
active combat against UNITA in the southern part of the
country.
Elsewhere in Subsaharan Africa we also see Soviet equip-
ment delivered to liberation movements and self-styled

train the recipients in its use.
It is my view that Moscow and Havana intend to take
advantage of every such opoortunity to demonstrate that
those who accept their political philosophy can also count
on receiving their assistance when it is needed.
With this background, I would like to ask Mr. Layton,
who is Chief of the African Division in the Office of
Regional and Political Analysis, and his colleagues, to
provide you with more details on the situation.

GOSSIP AROUND a favorite water-

has it that:
*Admiral Stansfield Turner, direc-
tor of the CIA, who sank a flotilla of
Agency veterans during the winter, is
to return to Navy duties. Well placed
for the succession is Frank Carlucci,
who attracted too much attention in
Lisbon but switched to orthodox dip-
lomatic duties in time to avoid Tur-
ner's torpedoes.

This is Stansfield Turner. He killed James Bond
Admiral Stansfield Turner may be the
most powerful spy master in all of history.
Not only has he been director of the Cen-
tral Intelligence Agency for the past year,
he now has control over the entire seven-
billion-dollar budoet of the United States'
"intelligence" machine. Turner is suave
and smug_ His commanding manner
comes from years of giving orders that
were obeyed without question. So for
Turner, it's not easy being subjected,as he
is these_ days.to a barrage of criticism, much
of it from his own agents. 1`1,
-If you want happy spies.
Urn not here for that," he is
explaining to a large group
of reporters quizzing him
over a hotel breakfast a few
blocks from the White
House. -But if you want ef-
fective spies, I can provide
them. I've made a profes-.
skul of leading men and
women. I'm good at it. [By
this time he is banging on
the big oval table] And I'll
: continue to be good at it."

Admiral Stansheld Turner?Amherst It is a cold winter morning.. Breakfast
doesn' please the admiral. It's not the-
food, ,t's the indignity?the prospect of
being plizzed. He has turned out to eat
with the press only bemuse it's the best tac-
tic for A bad time. His public image is ap-
pallinte but his prospects are enormous.
He is out to change the course, the direc-
tion,the aims, of U.S. espionage. it's a sub-
stantia objective. And he might well
achiev it.
He was Carter's second choice for the
CIA jot?the first was liberal lawyer and
onetin e Kennedy aide Theodore Soren-
sen, but the Senate wouldn't have him.
Turnei seemed more rpectable. Yet de-
spite a distinguished naval career, he was
something of an unknown quantity. And
that's the way, you might reason, it should
haves, iyed. After all, spies don't normally
seek a iiigh profile. But this one is different.
The CIA was in a mess when he arrived.
Three years of congressional probes and
College, Annapolis Naval College,
Rhodes scholar, U.S. Navy?likes to think
of himself as Socrates; a critical, question-,
ing gadfly. He is more of a Captain Bligh;
brilliant with a brutal streak. He has a bar-
eel chest and a red, seafaring face. Silver
sideburns and a rugged profile. And an
abrasive style and a cannonball diplomacy
That have made him notorious since Presi-
dent Jimmy Carter brought him into the
CIA directorship a year ago this month.

Here's another part in her continuing series, "Upheaval At
TINA GULLAND: On Monday, January 23rd, the Detroit "News"
reported that key members of the Carter Administration were trying
to oust CIA Director Stansfield Turner. That report was one of
several which questioned Turner's continued leadership of the
government spy agency.
The Admiral's controversial management decision drove morale
at the CIA to a new low. Hundreds of agents were fired or ford-
. bly retired. Many of them went to reporters with word that the
Admiral was putting his own ambition to become a Cabinet-level
intelligence czar before his job as Director of CIA.
Well-known and well-respected intelligence officials worry
that the CIA, still reeling from congressional probes and charges
of abuse, was now suffering from 4 self-inflicted wound.
Then word came from the White House that Frank Carldccl'
was to be named Deputy Director of CIA. Carlucci's nomination
marked a change in direction for the Agency. Turner would surren-
der control of the day-to-day management of the Agency to Carlucci
who would be a buffer between Turner and the CIA's rank and files.
It was time to bind up wounds at CIA.

Director's Term to Be 10 Years
Senate Confirms
Associated Press
U.S. Appeals Judge William H.
Webster has won Senate confirma-
tion to a 10-year term as director of
the FBI.
Webster, confirmed by voice vote
yesterday, will succeed Clarence
Kelley, who is retiring.
The 53-year-old Webster has been
serving as a judge of the 8th U.S. Cir-
cuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis..
The Senate also gave voice vote
approval to the nomination of Frank
C. Carlucci to be deputy director of
the CIA. Carlucci, U.S. ambassador
to Portugal until his nomination, will
succeed E. Henry Knoche in the
intelligence post.
Learning of his confirmation at his
St. Louis office, Webster said he was
surprised that the vote came so soon
with the Senate engaged in an ex-
tended debate over the Panama
Canal treaty.
"You're really catching me with-
out a prepared statement," he told a
reporter. 'I feel really good.. . . I'm
very gratified."

WILLIAM H. WEBSTER
? 'Bureau is not above the law'
During his confirmation hearing
last month, Webster pledged to en-
sure that the nation's chief law en-
forcement agency would obey the
law.
"The bureau is not above the law,"
he told the Senate Judiciary Commit-
tee. "I accept that 100 percent."
Webster was President Carter's
second choice to replace Kelley. The
president's first selection, U.S. Dis-
trict Judge Frank Johnson of Ala-
bama, withdrew because of medical
problems.
? Webster's new boss, Attorney!
General Griffin B. Bell, has de-
scribed the judge as a sound person
of moderate views and one in whom
the American people can have confi-
dence.
Webster told Congress that if he
were asked by the attorney general
to do anything he considered illegal,
he would appeal to the president and,
if necessary, to congressional com-
mittees for advice.
The only controversy over Web-
ster's nomination centered on his
membership in four all-white clubs.
Webster said he had no immediate
plans to quit the clubs but would if he
found that his membership impeded
his work.

Carter Makes Excellent Choice in Ca'rluci
? ;?
When President Carter last year prop-
osed naming Frank C. Carlucci to be
undersecretary of State for manage-
ment, some unidentified Democratic
leaders of Congress objected to the idea
of appointing a member of former Presi-
dent Nixon's administration to such a
key post. The objection was baseless.
While Mr. Carlucci served the Nixon ad-
ministration well, he did so? as a dedi-
cated professional who also had re-
flected excellence in his service during
the Kennedy and Johnson administra-
tions. -
Mr. Carter did not press the nomina-
tion at the time. But he has shown re-
newed faith in Mr. Carlucci by appoint-
ing him to become the No. 2 man in the
Central Intelligence Agency. We ap-
plaud the President's judgment of Mr.
Carlucci. Guided by his past perfor-
mance, we are confident Mr. Carlucci
will be as valued a public servant with
the s he has been with the State
DeimWnent, the Office of Economic Op-
portunity and with the Department of
Health, Education and Welfare.
We do not take this favorable view of
Mr. Carlucci simply because he was
born in this region and grew up here. We
have long been impressed by his re-
sponse to challenges and integrity in his
21 years of government service. The
most visible task he performed so far as
this region is concerned was as director
of the federal flood relief program in
Wyoming Valley following the devasta-
tion left by Tropical Storm Agnes in
June, 1972. And his efficiency and com-
passion in that post earned him commen-
dations from all sides. -
Mr. Carlucci was optimistic about the
future of Portugal and events proved
him right. He had the courage to tell 1
Washington the situation as he saw itl
while ambassador to Portugal even
though his view was contrary to that of i
the then secretary, of State, Henry Kis-
singer
President Carter was required to
name a civilian to the No. 2 post at the
CIA by a statutory requirement
specifying a civilian deputy if a military
man heads the agency. Upon confirma-
tion by the Senate, Mr. Carlucci will
serve under Adm. Stansfield Turner.
The President has made an excellent
choice in Mr. Carlucci.

CIA Oversight Gap
THE WASHINGTON POST
7 February 1978
Adm. Stansfield Turner is having his
. .
troubles as director of the Central Intel-
ligence Agency with one revelation
after another tumbling out into the
public domain. The Navy, where you
gave orders and they were carried out
or there was hell to pay, was nothing
like this. . ? .
But there is one advantage he has
over his predecessors. He has no team
of experts looking over his shoulder
. and now and then even breathing
down his neck.
The Foreign Intelligence Advisory
Board, made up of distinguished cid.'
? zens with extensive military and scien-
,tific knowledge, had been a watchdog
over ? the CIA under a succession of
presidents. They had met conscien-
tiously for two days each month to
review the work of the agency.
Suddenly, without any warning, the
members got what apparently were
form letters from President Carter in-
forming them that, by executive order,'
he had abolished the board. His ex-
planation was that "the National Secu-
rity Council system and the intelli-
gence community themselves, as straw-
- tured in this administration, can now
.effectively review and assess intelli-
gence activities" ? ? ? . '
This was received With considerable
'skepticism by members of. the board.,
.They got a laugh from a followup
let-
ter. Each member? received a blank
with instructions on how to file for un-:
? employment compensation since he:?
been dismissed from a federal job.
Accompanying forms had, been filled
out requiring little more than the a
"plicant's signature. y . .
? i This went out to men. such as Edwin'
,H. Land, chairman of the board of Po-
-larold Corporation and a pioneer in the
science of optics and high-level phcF!
lography; Gordon Gray, former secre-
tary of the army, a director of th
Reynolds Tobacco Company and head
of a publishing and broadcasting corn-
-plex; Melvin It. Laird, former secretary
of defense, and counselor for national
aff,airs for Reader's Digest:
The board has never had a political
,coloration. Gray, a Democrat, has been
a member since 1961 and was once
chairman. The one woman member,
Clare Boothe Luce, is a Republican.
Washington lawyer Edward Bennett
Williams has long been a prominent
figure in the Democratic hierarchy. -
It is probably a fair appraisal that
most of the members had no strong po-
litical attachments. One of the most dis-!
? tinguished scientific members was Wil-
ham 0. Baker, president of the Bell Tel-
. ephone Laboratories. Another with i
remarkable reach in nuclear weaponry
was Edward Teller, director of the
,Lawrence Livermore Laboratory at the
University of California.
They were unable to detect all the
'skulduggery and the folly concealed by
the cloak of CIA secrecy and brought to,
light with devastating consequences.
Moreover, there was a limit on their ac-
tion since the board reported its find-
ings and recommendations to the presi-
dent. The responsibility to act then felt
on the chief executive.
But I believe they were genuinely,
dedicated to contributing to a vital in-
telligence operation. The abolition of
the board has left a gap, and this could"
have some bearing on the credibility of
the CIA director. .
The gap has not been filled by the In-
?telligence Oversight Board. Composed
of three men?Thomas Farmer, a
Washington lawyer, as chairman; Wil-
liam Scranton, former governor of,
Pennsylvania; and Albert Gore, a for-
mer senator from Tennessee?the JOB
has the sole responsibility of detecting
and reporting on wrongdoing by the
. various intelligence agencies, including
the FBI. They are conscientious men,
but they have no power other than to
report their findings to the president,
who in a recent statement underscored '
their authority.
. That Turner is unhappy in-his role as
director of an agency riven by doubts
of the past and uncertainties about the
future is not hard to understand. In!
creasingly, those long familiar with the
CIA believe that a military man is not
- the ideal choice for the post of director.
- The appointment of Frank C. Car-
lucci to be deputy director is interpret-
ed as a hopeful sign of judicious admin.
? istration other than the order by fiat
prevailing under Turner. As ambassa-
- dor to Portugal, his last post, he over-
ruled CIA operatives who had been in-
sisting on keeping to themselves the
-names of their contacts with carry-
overs from the regime that had held
power before the Communist-Socialist
takeover. This authority over all U.S.
personnel seems to have been over-
ruled by a later Turner directive.

Oraleninence
A sweeping reorganization of Ameri-
ca's crisis-ridden intelligence system
gives unprecedented powers to a con-
troversial Navy officer.
Adm. Stansfield Turner, an Annap-
olis classmate of Jimmy Carter, gets
wide authority over all spying activities
overseas in the reform plan unveiled
by the President on January 24.
As Director of Central Intelligence,
he will supervise spending on foreign
espionage activities by all Government
agencies?the Central Intelligence
Agency, which he heads, as well as the
Defense Department, Federal Bureau
of Investigation and Treasury.
Also, Turner will co-ordinate the
overseas intelligence-gathering oper-
ations of these agencies and play a key
role in setting priorities?for example,
whether American spies and recon-
naissance satellites should concentrate
on China's economic and political pros-
pects or its military potential.
Turner's new deputy, Frank? Car-
lucci, a career diplomat, disclosed at a
January 27 confirmation hearing that
he will take over day-to-day running of
the CIA.
Ironically, the new reorganization
scheme that strengthens Turner's role
came amid speculation that the 54-
year-old Admiral actually was on the
skids as Director of the CIA.
The speculation surfaced the day be-
fore Carter announced the new setup.
The Detroit News published a Wash-
ington report to the effect that
Turner's ouster was being sought by
National Security Adviser Zbigniew
Brzezinski and Defense Secretary Har-
old Brown with the tacit co-operation
of Secretary of State Cyrus R. Vance.
? Praise from Carter. Denials came
from all sides?Turner, Brown, Brze-
zinski and Vance. And the President
himself went out of his way to reaffirm
his confidence in the intelligence chief.
After signing the order expanding
Turner's authority, the President
praised the CIA Director for his "su-
perb" performance, adding:
"I want to express my complete ap-
preciation and confidence in Admiral
Stan Turner, whose responsibilities un-
der this executive os419436411/1541iFect15te

Carter Administration to undercut the
CIA Director. The challenge first ap-
peared inside the Central Intelligence
Agency after Turner initiated a far-
reaching plan to tighten discipline and
shift emphasis from covert activities to
analytical intelligence. CIA veterans
complained that he was aloof and inac-
cessible and that he was surrounded by
a "Navy mafia," a small group of offi-
cers appointed to his personal staff.
The grumbling reached a climax at
the end of last year when the CIA Di-
rector delivered dismissal notices to
820 officials in the Directorate of Op-
erations. This unit handles all clandes-
tine activities?both traditional spying
and "dirty tricks" of the kind that led
to a protracted scandal and a series of
official investigations.
Disgruntled clandestine operatives
charged that Turner was relying exces-
sively on technology at the expense of
traditional espionage methods. In the
interview appearing on these pages,
the CIA Director gives his views on the
purge and his new rote.
The controversy?and the "dump
Turner" movement?extends beyond
the CIA into the White House and the
Defense Department. Key members of
Brzezinski's staff have put out hints
that Turner was alienating the Presi-
dent by attempting to act as an adviser
on policy as well as intelligence.
The strongest but least publicized
challenge to the intelligence chief has
come from Defense Secretary Brown.
For more than six months the Penta-
gon boss has fought a running battle to
limit Turner's control over Defense
Department -intelligence operations. In
private, Brown argued that demands
made by the Director of Intelligence
would seriously impair his ability to dis-
charge his responsibilities for the na-
tion's defense, especially in a war crisis.
Top Pentagon officials say that the
President's executive order gives
Turner much but by no means all the
authority he sought. Carter himself
spelled out this definition of the ex-
panded role of the intelligence boss:
"Admiral Turner will be responsible
for tasking or assigning tasks to all
those who collect intelligence. He will
also have full control of the intelli-
gence budget and will also be responsi-
ble for analysis of information that does
come in from all sources in the foreign
intelligence field."
That seems close to the job descrip-
tion of an intelligence czar. But Penta-
gon officials say that is not how they

Carter's man at the CIA is
under fire for purging
the "dirty-tricks department"
and reforming the whole spy
system. Here he explains what
he is doing?and why.
Q Admiral Turner, how do you answer
the charges that you're emasculating Intel-
ligence operations overseas by getting rid.
of 820 officials in the clandestine services?
A We are not cutting the .clandes-
tine service overseas. We are not emas-
culating its capability to collect
intelligence for us.
The 820 cut is coming out of the
headquarters. Reducing overhead and
reducing unnecessary supervision of
the people in the field will, in fact,
have the reverse impact: It will in- .
crease productivity overseas, .
O. If you're merely getting rid of super-
fluous overhead, why have the clandes--
tine services become so bloated?
A Because the mission of intelli-
gence in this country has changed over
the last 30 years, we have to adapt to
the change.
Thirty years ago, we were interested
primarily in collectineintelligence
about the Soviet Union, its satellites and
the few countries around the world
where they were trying to establish a
position. Today, we're interested in in-
telligence in a wide variety of countries.
Also, for most of the past 30 years, the
Central Intelligence Agency was called

AP THE NEW REPUBLIC
4 February 1978
And why?
est Carlucci?"
by Suetonius
The story is still savored in the usually melancholy
folklore of the Foreign Service. Congolese Premier
Cyril Adoula is about to sit down to a White House
luncheon in 1962. Looking around the state dining
room and finding only John Kennedy, Dean Rusk,
Robert McNamara and other notables, Adoula is
distressed at the absence of the equally important
American official who had befriended him in the old
days in Leopoldville. "OA est Carlucci?" the Premier
asks plaintively. "Who the hell is Carlucci?" Kennedy
whispers in turn to Rusk, and aides are dispatched on a
frantic search. In a cheap Foggy Bottom cafe they find
Frank Charles Carlucci III, grandson of an immigrant
Italian stonecutter, 32-year-old Foreign Service Officer
Class 5, and buddy of Cyril Adoula. He is spirited off to
the White House just in time to have dessert with the
Premier, and save the administration from the fate of a
diplomatic incident.
For a generation of bureaucrats, that anecdote has
been a relished vindication against the pretense and
naivete of elected political leadership?and so, too, has
Frank Carlucci's career. Rescued from a stalled ascent
in the Foreign Service, thrust suddenly through a
succession of high level positions in domestic affairs,
eventually returned to diplomacy as a key ambassador,
he was named in December to be Stansfield Turner's
principal deputy at the Central Intelligence Agency.
Like the Adoula story, it all seems the civil servant's
fantasy come true, a tale of buried brilliance discovered
and suitably rewarded. But Carlucci's remarkable rise
has owed more to mundane Washington politics than to
brilliance. His appointment to the Central Intelligence
Agency is another example of how the Carter
administration has chosen to govern.
Carlucci belonged to that wave of middle-class
Foreign Service recruits that swelled the corps with
ambition, idealism and excess personnel in the 1950s.
The stonecutter's son had become an insurance broker,
and Frank III grew up comfortably. After Princeton,
Harvard Business School, two years in the Navy, and an
unpromising start with Jantzen Swimwear, he joined
the State Department in 1956. There followed some
routine clerical assignments in Washington, a commer-
cial posting in Johannesburg, and then, in 1960, a junior
political reporting job in Leopoldville during the
Congo's bloody passage to independence (and
American patronage). It was a brief moment of
diplomatic swagger and exploit in US African policy,
charged with the myths of cold war rivalry and before
the military dictators and CIA subsidies settled in. In
the Congo, Carlucci distinguished himself not only by
the contact with Adoula, a future premier, but also by
acts of bravery, in rescuing a car full of Americans from
a Congolese mob after a traffic accident, and of
diplomatic skill, in negotiating the release by Patrice
Lumurnba (another friend) of several Belgian hostages.
He won a department superior service award, a place at
the Congo desk in Foggy Bottom and later one of the
Foreign Service's few outside-Washington plums for an
officer of his grade, the lone Consul-Generalship on the
island of Zanzibar.
After nine years in government, Carlucci had been

promoted at steady and routine two-year intervals. In
the summer of 1965 he was sent to Rio de Janeiro,
where he spent the next four years in a series of
embassy administrative jobs and won another
bureaucratic award for his management of housekeep-
ing chores spurned by most of his fellow officers. But in
Rio, the African zeal and adventure already filed away,
his career began noticeably?and, again, routinely?to
slow and dull. Held at Class Three, the foreign service's
make-or-break threshold to either senior rank or early
retirement, Carlucci at 39, like so many other FS0s,
began to melt indistinguishably into the bureaucracy.
No intellectual gifts, no rare expertise singled him out
among hundreds of equally talented officers. Not even
his past bravery and citations guaranteed promotion to
the top: during the Vietnam period department awards
were handed out, as one winner recalled, "like Iron
Crosses in 1918."
So early in 1969, Frank Carlucci was in Brazil, one
more obscure, middle-level embassy official apparently
without much of a future. Yet in the next six years, he
received four presidential appointments, sat oc-
casionally with the cabinet and become ambassador to
Portugal with enough political weight to challenge the
most powerful Secretary of State in recent memory.
What his foreign service record obscured was that,
more important than knowing Adoula or rescuing
Americans in Africa or being efficient in Rio, Carlucci
had also wrestled with Don Rumsfeld at Princeton.
When Rumsfeld gave up a congressional seat to
become Richard Nixon's director of the Office of
Economic Opportunity, he promptly brought Carlucci
home from Rio in July 1969 to be his assistant director
for operations. Carrying responsibility for the then-
still-massive community action program, the job
catapulted Carlucci not only far upward in the
bureaucratic pecking order, but also into the midst of
complex domestic issues for which he had no apparent
grasp or concern. The reason for the appointment,
however, was rudimentary. 0E0 was a stepchild
agency which the Nixon White House viewed (like the
State Department) as a disloyal Democratic preserve
and relic. Rumsfeld, intending to dismantle the poverty
program and expecting sniping on all sides, reached in
time-honored Washington tradition for a personal
friend with no obvious political liabilities and some
bureaucratic experience at taking orders. For his part,
of course, Carlucci did not question the logic of his
deliverance. "I've never had a strong preference for
location," he told the New York Times. "I've always been
more interested in the nature of the job."
In the event, the "nature" of this particular job was to
go along dutifully with the Nixon squeeze on 0E0, and
thus to get along handsomely in a regime that
appreciated but rarely found such professional loyalty.
Little more than a year later, with Rumsfeld himself
2
made director of the poverty program. Over the next
six months he continued the Nixon-Rumsfeld policies I
without major change; cultivated an :affable, non-
partisan image with the Congress; and dodged the only
covert political controversy by sponsoring a temporary
compromise between Governor Ronald Reagan and
California's Rural Legal Assistance program, which
Reagan wished to destroy. Carlucci presided over the
steady attrition of the antipoverty effort, policies which
threatened legal services and other valuable reforms
nationwide, and which cut 0E0's budget by more than
half during Nixon's first term.
Presumably on the basis of that performance,
Carlucci was elevated again in July 1971, this time to
the White House itself to be number three man under
George Shultz in the Office of Management and
Budget. Again there were no obvious credentials to
explain the change, though Carlucci had won what the
press called (without undue elaboration) "high marks"
for his management at 0E0. Don Rumsfeld was still
sitting down the corridor from the President. Discreet- '
ly supporting the fiscal policies that plunged the?
country deeper into recession, Carlucci stayed on at '
OMB through most of the Watergate collapse. Late in
1973, with White House backing, he became Caspar
Weinberger's undersecretary at the Department of
Health, Education and Welfare. A December 1973
speech before the Georgia chapter of the American
Society of Public Administration provides a good
example of Carlucci's contribution at HEW to the
function of American social policy. The speech is a
vintage example of bureaucratic prose celebrating as it
does the "synergistic impact" and "program con- ,
siderations" of better administration. Only Nixon's
"New Federalism," the undersecretary assured his. ,
audience, would keep more people from "falling down
the dependency ladder."
In November 1974, early in the Ford regime?in
which Rumsfeld was White House Chief of Staff and
eventually Secretary of Defense?Carlucci was named
ambassador to Portugal. His qualifications for the job? ,
past diplomatic experience and a knowledge of
Portuguese?were plainer than for any of his recent
appointments. Still, bureaucratic politics seemed once
again decisive in Carlucci's rotation through high
office. For a new administration nervously watching
the fresh, volatile and leftward-swinging democracy in
Portugal, he would be a certifiably safe, conservative
envoy. Perhaps more important, he would also be
Rumsfeld's protege, one of the few direct Ford links in
an ambassadorial corps bureaucratically owned or
cowed by Henry Kissinger.
Carlucci performed predictably as ambassador. To
questions at his confirmation hearing, he stoutly
denied any CIA meddling in Lisbon. (When pressed by
one senator on the elliptical language of his answers, he
even showed a rare flash of public irritation: "It means

may have been discreetly ignorant as an unbriefed
appointee (not uncommon) or consciously dis-
simulating. But whatever the reason, his answers were
inaccurate. At the time Carlucci testified, the CIA, with
Kissinger's approval, was lavishly devoting both money
and agents to shore up the most conservative elements
in Portugal. Later, in 1975, when Kissinger moved
toward a virtual aid embargo against the independent
and still non-Communist Lisbon regime, Carlucci
opposed the cut-off in what several sources remember
as a "blistering" cable exchange. To the usual am-
bassadorial fervor for one's clients he added the old
alliance with Rumsfeld, and thus won the battle with
rare immunity from Kissinger's retaliation. At the
same time, however, he also reportedly conditioned US
humanitarian aid to Portugal's collapsing African
colonies on the ouster of the most vocally anti-
American officials in Lisbon.
? Now, having been kept on in Lisbon by the Carter
administration, he returns to Washington to be deputy
director of the CIA. Ironically, he is once more the
White House's choice. And again he appears as the
loyal, blurred bureaucrat needed to ride out controver-
sy. Admiral Turner refused to pick a deputy from the
Agency's hostile old-boy network, while the old boys
themselves are still smarting from the forced retire-
ment of 200 superannuated agents last autumn. So
Carlucci is the administration's happy compromise. As
at 0E0, OMB, HEW and the Lisbon Embassy, not to
mention all those Foreign Service postings long ago, he
will be expected, with some confidence, to follow orders
and "manage" things quietly. Beyond that, of course,
his qualifications for the job are, as usual, rather vague.
In the Congo he quietly watched the widening CIA
intervention that led indirectly to the murder of his
friend Lumumba and even to the later overthrow of
Adoula. He arrived in Rio only months after the CIA
engineered the military coup against the elected
Goulart regime, and watched quietly as the Agency
administered covert subsidies and technical aid to keep
the torture-prone Brazilian junta in power. At his own
Lisbon Embassy he sat quietly as the local CIA station
struggled to keep the new Portuguese democracy
within proper bounds. Now he will be the only official
short of Turner himself who will have the writ and
means to monitor the full range of CIA operations.
Under the reorganization plan just announced, the
Agency will exercise unprecedented central control
over the planning and execution of American es-
pionage. That organizational grip probably will make
Carlucci the single most powerful deputy in the
government, and surely the most powerful in the
history of the CIA.
- In the lavish sunny office of the deputy director, he
will be another classic bureaucrat somehow expected to
command and temper the bureaucracy. To ride one of
the rogue elephan400%111riutiszoijatgbinfogy24
CIA-RDP91-00901R000100140001-4
comes from an apprenticeship as a pliant passenger in a
Nixon administration run amok. The bravery and
brashness of the young Foreign Service officer seem to
have deserted Carlucci some time ago, worn away by
the mores and unbroken success of his promotion. The
man who saved Americans from a mob and freed
Belgian hostages could not bring himself to try (and it
would have taken equal courage, there is no doubt) to
rescue poverty programs from a mob mentality in the
White House, or to release the health and educational
advances held hostage by Nixon-Ford policy. If there is
any ideology apparent in his record since 1969, it is
certainly not that of his present employer. More
apparent than any ideology, though, is the old
bureaucratic pragmatism, the career greased by a
willing suspension of belief. Carlucci is known for a
clipped informality that often passes for self-assertion
and strength in the otherwise oily culture of
bureaucracy. By several accounts of those who have
worked with him, critics as well as admirers, he is
personally an easy, unpretentious man devoted to his
work?not at all unlike hundreds of his kind in the
huge, faceless civil service from which he emerged
eight years ago. And when the man is measured against
his offices, particularly the CIA, what stands out is not
evil or danger or gross incompetence, but simply the
utterly pedestrian quality of it all.
Carlucci will not be alone at the upper reaches. On
the National Security Council staff, at the State
Department, in a dozen important embassies, under
Andrew Young at the UN?in nearly every precinct of
foreign policy, there remain men who similarly owe
their rank, their present authority, in large part to the
dubious people and practices jimmy Carter was elected
to replace. This feckless resort to bureaucratic
government?the loss of independence and commit-
ment beyond self, the further atrophy of merit and
idealism?is expensive. The politics that now return
Frank Carlucci to Washington, like those that hoisted
him out of oblivion during the Nixon years, are still the
politics of a closed system.
Last spring, when senior State Department
bureaucrats put forward Carlucci's name for the job as
Deputy Undersecretary of State for administration,
rumblings of opposition from Congressman John
Brademas and Senator Paul Sarbanes?opposition
reportedly on the basis of Carlucci's Nixon record--
stopped the move. With his CIA confirmation hearings!
upon us, there is apparently no serious questioning of
Carlucci's new appointment.
"Oil est Carlucci?" Why, he's gone to be Deputy i
Director of the CIA, Cyril. It's a long story from when
you knew him. But then, come to think about it, it's not
- all that different from how you and your boys ran
things in the Congo.

Carlucci, Sees Broad Role
In No. 2 Position at C1,4
United Press Tnternattonal
Frank Carlucci, nominated to be No.
2 man at the troubled CIA, said yes-
terday he would take over "day-to-day
operating responsibilities" of the spy
agency from Adm. Stansfield Turner,
whose abrasive methods have aroused
widespread criticism.
Carlucci, now ambassador to Portu-
gal and formerly a domestic policy-
maker in the Nixon administration,
testified at a confirmation hearing be-
fore the Senate Intelligence Commit-
tee. 1
He said he would discuss major pol-
icy issues with Director Turner, but
"he and I anticipate that I will be able
to take much of the agency decision-
making."
That, he said, would leave Turner
more time to exercise his new, ex-
panded authority over all intelligence
community agencies.
President Carter this week signed
an executive order broadening Turn-
er's mandate, a step that closely fol-
lowed reports that national security
affairs adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski
and others were seeking the admiral's
removal.
There have been Indications that
Carlucci's appointment is partially
aimed at restoring morale among CIA
career employes, many of whom bit-
terly resent the brusque way Turner
has handled the firing of several hun-
dred senior spies.
Turner publicly referred to the
complainers as "cry babies," provok-
ing still more criticism inside and out-
side his agency.
Carlucci, whose CIA appointment is
subject to Senate approval, fielded
questions about his conduct as deputy
budget director and under secretary
of Health, Education and Welfare in
the Watergate era? and his role at the
U. S. Embassy in the Congo during al-
leged assassination plots by the CIA.
He said he had no part in the politi-
cal machinations of the Nixon admin-
istration and, as a "relatively junior"
embassy officer in 1960. "I was not !
aware and nobody talked to Me
about" an unsuccessful CIA plot to
kill Congolese Premier Patrice 1.41-,

Carlucci Says Take Over
Daily Operations of the CIA.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27 (UPI)?Frank
Carlucci, a career diplomat nominated to
be No. 2 man at the troubled Central
Intelligence Agency, said today he would
take over the day-to-day operations from
Admiral Stansfield Turner. ?
Mr. Carlucci, now Ambassador to Por-
tugal and a former Nixon Administration
domestic officia, lspoke at a confirmation
hearing before the Senate Intelligence
Committee.
H said he would discuss majar policy
issus with Admiral Turner, the agency's
director, but added "He and I anticipate
that I will be able to take much of the
agency decision-making."
He said Admiral Turner thus would
have more time to exercize his new ex-
panded authority over all intelligenc
agncies.
Indications were that Mr. Carlucci's ap-
pointment had been aimed partly at re-
storing morale among C.I.A. career em
pioyees. Many were said to have resented
th way Admiral Turner had handled the
dismissals of several hundred senior per-
sonnel.

nominee to be the Central Inte.ligence
Agency's deputy director told senators
yesterday he was "generally aware" of
political abuses when he was a Nixon ad-
ministration official, but that he was not
involved in them himself.
The testimony came from Frank C.
CarlucCi at a generally friendly confirma-
tion hearing before the Senate Select Com-
mittee on Intelligence.
Senator William D. Hathaw.iv iD..
Maine) said he raised the question because
"constituents not so subtly ask, -Why is
one of President Nixon's men being nomi-
nated by President Carter to help run the
CIA?"
Mr. Carlucci replied that his govern-
ment service spanned 21 years, not just in
the Nixon administration, and that he had
engaged in no improper political activity
himself.
He pledged under oath that, if anyone
asked him to do something illegai and he
could not talk them out of it. "I ould re-
sign."
Mr. Carlucci, director of the Office of
Economic Opportunity in the Nixon ad-
ministration, was later an official in other
agencies and directed federal disaster op-
erations after tropical storm .Agnes in
1372.
He was United States ambassador to
Portugal under President Gerald R. Ford.
Mr. Carlucci said he refused to obey a
general directive shortly before Mr. Nixon
resigned to "go out and support the Presi-
dent" and have political appointees under
him do the same.
He said he got an "ill feeling in my
stomach" after a meeting at which Nixon
budget officials were instructed to give
grants to politically friendly organiza-
tions. But, he said he did not protest be-
cause his job did not involve awarding
grants. ? ?
Finally, Mr. Hathaway asked Mr. Car- ?
lucci how much he knew about Mr. Nix--
on's "political responsiveness" program
aimed at steering federal money and busi-
ness to politically friendly groups and peoe
pie.
"Senator, I was generally aware of it." ?
Mr. Carlucci replied. "But the instructions.
in every agency where I had general re-
sponsibility were to follow standard pro-- ,
cedure and not give political preference."-,'.

CITY
Washington, D.C.
RON NESSEN: We're going to begin the program today by
talking about the Central Intelligence agency. It seems to have
been in the news a great deal these past two or three years, and
again in the news this week because President Carter signed an
executive order which reorganizes the CIA. We're going to talk
about that and some other of the somewhat controversial events
at the CIA with Henry Kaaglo, who is a former Deputy Director
of the CIA, and, in fact, at one time was the Acting Director,
between George Bush and Stansfield Turner; and with Jack Maury,
who was with the CIA for 27 years, former head of the Soviet
Desk, and from there went over to the Defense Department as
Assistant Secretary of Defense; and with Georgie Anne Geyer,
who is a syndicated columnist and, I suppose as much as any
reporter, is an expert and concentrates on the activities of the
intelligence organizations.
First of all, let me try to sum up just briefly, if I
can, the reorganization that was signed this week by the Presi-
dent. It gives the CIA Director, who right now is Stansfield
Turner, control over the budgets of the other intelligence organ-
izations, those in the Defense Department, the NSA, and others.
It also gives the Director of Central Intelligence power to
give the other intelligence organizations their assignments,
what they should do. Stansfield Turner did not get the total
power, the sort of czardom that he wanted, with Cabinet rank.
On the other side, this new executive order forbids the
CIA to undertake covert activities in the United States, it pre-
vents -- forbids, really, assassination attempts by the CIA or
its agents. It prohibits the CIA from dealing with the academic
world, other non-governmental organizations, without letting them
know that they're dealing with the CIA. And it restricts surveil-

lance of former government employees living within the United
States.
Well, that's a very brief summary, really, of what the
reorganization does.
As a former Deputy Director, how will that affect the
ability of the United States to gather and interpret intelligence?
HENRY KNOCHE: Well, Ron, first of all, let me say that
I regard the new executive order as a very constructive additional
step, all aimed at trying to balance the needs for important intel-
ligence information concerning the foreign scene without at the
same time trampling the rights and privacy of American citizens.
And sometimes that's a very tough order.
But this began, in my view, back with the issuance of Presi-
dent Ford's executive order in February 1976. You'll recall that
the reviews and investigations of intelligence were largely finished
at the end of 1975, and an effort was make to balance these things
that I've just talked about, to make the intelligence world more
accountable to checks and balances within our government system.
The Ford executive order of '76 accomplished much. And this
one by President Carter is an evolutionary thing which adds even
more to this process of keeping intelligence accountable.
NESSEN: Jack, are you concerned that even though Stansfield
Turner did not get all the power he wanted, that this puts too much
power over the entire intelligence community in the hands of one
man?
JACK MAUREY: I think it's too soon to say, Ron, but I think
that is a possibility. I think where that is particularly relevant
is in the area of the control of resources, because I know that the
feeling of some of the heads of the service intelligence agencies
in the Pentagon is that if they have the responsibility, they ought
to control the resources with which they carry out that responsi-
bility.
NESSEN: In other words, determine how much -- they ought
to decide how much they can afford to spend to this accomplish
whatever assignment they're...
MAUREY: Well, I recognize that it's desirable for the
Director of Central Intelligence to allocate money as between
recommend the allocation of money between the three services. But
once, let's say, the Air Force is given X number of million or
billion dollars to do a job, I think, beyond that, it ought to be
up to the Air Force to have that money allocated as between dif-
ferent Air Force programs.

Now, I'm not sure how that will work out in practice.
Maybe, Hank, you have a perception of how that will actually work
out.
KNOCHE: Well, you know, basically, the Director of Central
Intelligence has two responsibilities. One is he has to be the
head of the CIA, one agency in the intelligence community, and the
other is to coordinate the entire intelligence effort of the govern-
ment.
now.
NESSEN: But that was always a paper responsibility, until
KNOCHE: It was a paper responsibility because he didn't
really have a grip, wasn't permitted to have a grip, on the re-
sources which were applied to the intelligence community.
Now, the Ford executive order made a start along those
lines in '76. And George Bush, then the Director, working with
a committee, a small committee which he chaired, began to hack
away at this problem.
This executive order gives the Director of Central Intel-
ligence the responsibility for approving the national intelligence
budgets. So he's by himself now, not with a committee, but he's
got to report his budgetary views and findings, through the National
Security Council, to the President, and through, I might say, the
Office of Management and Budget. So it will be scrubbed by the
. budgetary proceis.
GEORGIE ANNE GEYER: Well, I think all this is very impor-
tant, gentlemen, but I think those of us in the press who've been
watching this all have come up with sort of one question. We're
back again to the mechanistic view, and it's very important. I'm
not saying that this is not important, the budget, etcetera. But
what we don't see in the reorganization of the CIA is what we don't
see in the rest of the Administration: a basic new philosophy, a
basic new conceptualization. It's out with the old-- and most of
us are not unhappy with a lot of that, frankly -- but it's in with
what? I mean what is Admiral Turner's conception of the new CIA?
If you can tell me, I'd be very interested, because nobody
can say.
KNOCHE: Well, I think, Georgie Anne, you've put your finger
on one of the problems that plagues the agency and its people right
now -- that is, that a reorganization, a realignment within CIA,
quite apart from this executive order, has taken place over the
last few months.
It's not well understood by the rank-and-file in the agency,
as best I can tell. It's rather murky. It's not well articulated,

Approved For Release 2002/06/24: CIA-RDP91-00901R000100140001-4

not well spelled out. And one of the concerns of the people at
CIA that has had its impact on the morale of the people is their
fear that they me in the process of fragmentation. And, of course,
they're in an outfit which has been deemed to be terribly important
to the national interest; it's been examined, reviewed, interro-
gated; it has new controls on it to which the people are adjusting.
But having been found to be important to the national
interest, it's very difficult to those great men and women in that
agency now suddenly to feel that they're somehow or other in the
process of fragmentation.
NESSEN: Let me put a little finer point on Georgie Anne's
question. Because you bring up the reorganization of the past
couple of months. I suppose the people who have gone through the
reorganization and have been retired would have a slightly dif-
ferent word for it.
Would that indicate that Admiral Turner's conception of
the CIA, as Georgie Anne puts it, is that it is going to rely a
great deal more on mechanical, scientific, electronic means of
intelligence, and less on the human spy, for lack of a better word?
KNOCHE: I don't think so, Ron. I think that the tendency
for the last 10 or 15 years has been to rely more and more on
science and technology to help us collect vitally needed infor-
mation abroad. It's been a remarkable thing. It's been one of
the real true milestones of American intelligence the way that
process has taken place.
But you still have limitations on what science and tech-
nology can do for you in collecting information we need. What's
really needed, down deep, is information relating to the inten-
tions of foreign governments, particularly those who are potential
enemies. And in order to obtain that kind of information, about
what's in the minds of men and leadership around the world, you
need human sources who are in good position to get access to that
kind of information.
No camera, no airplane, no satellite that I know of can
acquire that kind of information.
GEYER: Aren't we being badly -- now let me take the other
side, a position that is not popular with the press, but which
think we should deal with too, is: Aren't we being hurt? We
keep reading about the number of KGB spies coming into this country,
and so on, and they're on Capitol Hill wooing this staff, etcetera.
Aren't we being hurt in this way, too?
MAUREY: Let me speak to that and tie it in with something
on your earlier point, Georgie Anne.

First of all, when you talk about a new look, I think what
a lot of people are concerned about is not the reality of CIA but
the image, the mythology, a mythology that's been created by the
press. A CIA that assassinated people. Well, CIA never assassin-
ated anybody. There were assassination proposals in the White
House. They were never carried out. But they were never carried
out.
CIA involvement in the drug traffic. Absolutely no truth
in any of that, but the press was full of it here 10 years ago.
It's been firmly repudiated by John Ingersoll, the head of the
BNDD, for instance.
CIA an unguided missile, a rogue elephant, that people used
to talk about. Both the Church and Pike Committees completely
repudiated that. The conclusion of the Pike Committee Report was
that in all important respects CIA had carried out the orders of the
President or the Assistant to the President for National Security
Affairs.
CIA corruption of the press. I was on a congressional
hearing on that a few weeks ago, and a number of distinguished
members of your profession followed me. But none of them, to
this day, has identified a single case where any significant news
disseminated in the United States was corrupted by anything CIA
had done, or where any newspaper reporter had in any way violated
his obligation to his employer or his public as a result of in-
volvement with CIA.
So there's all this mythology that we've got to get rid of,
I think, before we can sensibly address the questions that we're
talking about now.
NESSEN: But there's a new myth growing up, it seems to
me, and that is that you've got hundreds of CIA agents, and the
covert agents, really, who are being fired in a way that they feel
is peremptory and cold and callous. Now there's a myth that's
beginning to permeate Washington that these hundreds of ex-CIA
agents are just ripe for being recruited by the KGB and other
foreing intelligence, that they're mad, they're angry, resentful
at their own country, their own CIA, and that they may be perfect
recruits to be picked up by a foreign power.
Do you see that as a danger?
KNOCHE: Well, only in the classical kind of sense. The
people of CIA are terribly disciplined, they're very professional,
extremely dedicated. And, of course, nobody likes to be fired.
Some, no doubt, are bitter. Many are quite vocal and quite public
in some of the complaints and criticisms they're making about
Admiral Turner as the Director. That, I think, is unfortunate
because it impacts upon the shaky state of morale at CIA.

But it's one thing to complain about being treated badly;
it's another thing to be recruited by a foreign intelligence
power and to sell secrets which would really hurt this government.
And having known the people that inhabit that place, work in that
place, I simply don't believe that there's great danger of this
taking place.
MAUREY: It's remarkable that in 30 years, during which
time there must have been 50 to 60 or 70 thousand people at one
time or another involved with CIA, we really had only a half a
dozen bad apples that have really gone out to destroy and dis-
credit the agency.
Philip Agee, who's obviously involved in a major -- well,
I don't think I have to bell anybody in this room who he's involved
with. He defected to the Cubans, and everybody knows who runs the
Cubans.
Then you've got guys that defected because -- or at least
turned against the agency because they didn't get promoted. Agee
and Snepp and Stockwell, and so on. These are people who were
given front-page space in all the media in the country on the basis
of no credentials whatever except that they were made with an
agency that didn't promote them when they wanted to be promoted,
But in any event, I think, as far as you're concerned
about the rank-and-file being susceptible to Soviet exploitation,
it is indeed a real danger. And I recall that at the time of the
purges of the KGB following Beria's purge many years ago, we got
a real windfall of defectors and tecruitments in the Russian ser-
vice.
NESSEN: Were you head of the Soviet Desk of the CIA then?
MAUREY: I was,
NESSEN: And you targeted in on those KGB agents who had
been purged?
MAUREY: Yes, we did.
NESSEN: Why would you then think that it wouldn't work
the other way around?
MAUREY: Well, because I think there's better morale and
more patriotism in this country than there is in Russia.
NESSEN: But Hank just said that morale is shaky at the
CIA.
MAUREY: It is shaky but I don't think it goes to the
point of treason.

KNOCHE: I agree with that, Jack.
GEYER: I do have to answer you on one thing, Mr. Maurey.
I was in Vietnam four different occasions, and no one can tell me
that we didn't assassinate people, because I was with CIA agents
in the field who were carrying through the Phoenix program. I just
don't want to let that go unanswered. I don't want to get into a
long discussion about that. I think we should put that behind us
at this point and look at where are we going now.
There's an odd thing going on in the press. Many of the
press, and I admit this, who called for an end to covert activities
are now taking the individual cases, in a kind of sentimental way,
of the agents who carried these through.
Do you know what I mean, Ron?
MESSER: I do.
GEYER: And saying, "Oh, these poor guys. They're really
being" -- and it's a human thing, but we've got to -- so, what I'm
looking for is some high-level conceptualizing, some new philosophy
about where we're going. And I don't think we're getting it from
Admiral Turner. We're getting -- we're getting cuts, we're getting
reorganization, we're getting mechanical answers. And I don't
think -- I think the American people are very confused. I know that
CIA is confused.
MAUREY: Well, what are you suggesting? I mean Morton
Halperin is the head of an organization to abolish spying, for
instance. Is that the kind of thing that you're talking about?
GEYER: No, no, on the contrary. I'm calling for some new
conceptualizing from the CIA. I'm not against spying at all.
KNOCHE: Let me give you a hand with this, because I, too,
think that what's needed here now is a fresh look at where we'd
go into the future.
The intelligence organizations have gone through the inves-
tigations and reviews. There's a new definition of controls to
keep them above board and prevent them from being abusive. But
it's recognized that they're important to the national need and
security to have them.
Therefore, we've got to have fine people, good people
continuing to be interested in working for an outfit like CIA.
To count on that, they've got to have a sense of purpose, a sense
of direction, a sense of where they're headed, and a sense of
belonging to an organization that really counts.
This is the fundamental challenge in leadership to Admiral

Turner and to his new Deputy-designate, Frank Carlucci, who is,
I think, this very day...
NESSEN: I think today is Frank's confirmation hearing.
GEYER: Are they doing this, though, do you feel?
KNOCHE: Not yet. And I think that's one of the things
where Admiral Turner's got to concentrate some of his attention,
in CIA terms, not community terms: paying some attention to
that agency, nurturing it, bringing it along.
The other area Ronald didn't spell out too much in
talking about the executive order, but, once again, it's full
of restraints, shalt nots, the no-nos of the business. And well
and good. That's fine. It makes the agency...
NESSEN: You say "once again," but only once again since
the Ford executive order. Before the Ford executive order there
were no...
KNOCHE: Well, but we've had that same sort of approach
from the Senate Select Committee, the House Select Committee:
constraints on intelligence. And over and over again, the over-
sight bodies are looking at outfits like CIA to see that they're
in compliance with the constraints and restrictions.
But what I'm about to suggest for the future is that
the authorities must not only look to see that intelligence
agencies are in compliance with those restrictions, but whether
or not intelligence is being unnecessarily impaired by those
restrictions.
NESSEN: Well, let me ask you about those.
KNOCHE: And the restriction part of it is getting all
the emphasis. The effectiveness is not being examined.
NESSEN: But one of the restrictions is the requirement
to notify Congress of covert operations. It gives Congress no
veto power, but it requires a notification
Now, how many members are notified? At the end of the
'75 investigation, at one point there was a proposal that would
have had, I think, 170 members of Congress informed of covert
operations, which obviously means that there can be no covert
operations.
KNOCHE: The problem has been that the Director of Central
Intelligence, once the President signs on the dotted line for a
covert action abroad, the Director then must go and tell seven
congressional committees about that. That simply is far too many.

NESSEN: Is that the present...
KNOCHE: The present arrangements, under the Hughes-Ryan
Amendment, which is a matter of law.
Now, with the formation of the Senate Select Committee on
Intelligence and the newly designated House Select Committee on
Intelligence, here, I think, is a chance to focus these matters
in two committees rather than in this galaxy of seven that we've
had before.
NESSEN: What's been the effect, though -- you say a galaxy
of seven. Hasn't that, in effect, just about ruled out any real
covert operations? You can't -- I mean let's face it, we all know
members of Congress. And if even one member out of the seven com-
mittees disagreed with a covert operation, all he had to do was
publicize it, and it blows it out of the water.
KNOCHE: Well, that was further complicated in the House
because of Rule 11, which permits...
NESSEN: Any member can go and look at the...
KNOCHE: Any one member can look at the transcripts and
data belonging to any given committee.
But I think these matters can be dealt with. I would be
hard put to say that Congress has been the source of an awful lot
of leaks. I think that's demonsrrable in a few cases, and you
make certain assumptions. But most of the committees that have
had experience with intelligence have been pretty good about it.
But it's got to be focused in fewer than seven committees, no
question about it.
But covert action as a tool for American foreign policy
has fallen into disfavor. It's been used less and less, quite
apart from congressional controls, over the last 10 years or so.
NESSEN: Well, thank you very much, gentlemen, for this,
I think, really interesting discussion of something that's impor-
tant to America's role in the world and America's future.

The White House aides and Defense Secretary Harold Brown

Stansfield Turner as the CIA Director.

Good afternoon, Mr. Blanchard.

BLANCHARD: Well, our Colonel 14.4444,pa3-4-r) is -- is as good
sources are. He's in on military matters and national security
matters, and, as.my understanding, he has doubled-sourced this one.
He was the reporter who broke the story about the appointment
of Mr. Callucci to the Deputy position out at the CIA about a week
before it got into Washington. I suspect his sources in -- in this
regard as reliable as that one was.
BOHANNON: I understand that Secretary of Defense Harold
Brown is the -- the main person out to get Mr. Turner out of that
position, but not the only one.
Who else does your story say is involved?

'Charles Bartlett
Two flailing Carter appointees
President Carter has
been impressive for the
alacrity with which he con-
cedes and corrects his own
mistakes. but so far he has
seemed distressingly toler-
ant of two bad personnel
choices.
The CIA and Action.
agencies with diverse but
sensitive roles, are being
ground into .a morbid state
of morale by the maladmin-
istration of the Carter ap-
pointees. Stansfield Turner
and Samuel Brown. In both
cases the damage to morale
has stemmed from suspi-
cions that they regard their
agencies as stepping-
stones.
Hopes that Carter is mov-
ing to curb Turner, whose
management decisions are
highly controversial, have
been stirred by the White
House's insistence on nam-
ing Frank Carlucci as his
deputy director. Turner,
wanted rotating deputies
who would not intrude on
him, but in Carlucci he will
confront a strong and inde-
pendent spirit.
Although a deputy can
lean against the director's
mistakes, he is unlikely,
however, to change the
course of an ambitious
admiral who pulls away
from the voices at experi-
ence within the agency.
Surrounded by an inner cir-
cle of his own selection and
preoccupied with speeches
and public relations ges-
tures, Turner is not creat-
ing a climate in which he is
likely to learn from his mis-
takes. .
There is great commotion
in both agencies, but much
of it is change for the sake
of change. In both places
the new leadership has im-
posed reorganizations
which are widely perceived
as impulsive lurches that
reflect the directors' anxi-
ety to assert their power
more than their concern
with the morale and per-
formance of their subordi-
nates. ?
? Reporters are bustling
now around Washington to
nail down allegations that
Brown, who gained fame as
a mobilizer of Vietnam pro-
tests, is using the agency as
a personal vehicle. Embit-
tered employees are anx-
ious to show that Brown has
been softening ground rules
drafted to protect the volun-
teer spirit from sullying
involvement with .the pres-
sure groups.
The impact. upon the
Peace Corps, still lustrous
after 17 years as an expres:
sion of American idealism,
has been especially nega-
tive. To give validity to his
boast that he has rescued
the Peace Corps from the
oblivion of the Nixon-Ford
years, he has given top
priority to efforts to swell
the numbers of volunteers
dispatched to developing
nations.
. In every-change of ad-i
ministration, the newcom-
ers are tempted by what is
known to civil servants as
"re-inventing the wheel."
This is an exercise in whichi
the newly installed adminis-'
trators discard the experi-
ence of their predecessors
in order to gain the look of
innovators. It is part of the.
price of democracy.
But the silliness at Action
and CIA reflects more than
the usual ego exertions and
is causing more than the
usual damage. Turner took
over the CIA at a delicate
point, when it had begun,
under George Bush, to
recover from the trauma of
a national re-thinking of
intelligence activities. The
Peace Corps had been sub-
merged by its incorporation
into Action, so it was partic-
ularly vulnerable to the
adversities and neglect of
the past 11 months. -
Bad performances by key
appointees pose a vexing
problem for presidents. But
the unhappiness in these
two agencies is swelling to
'a point at which it deserves
to be weighed against Car-
ter's instinct to be loyal to
these two men...

OPENING STATEMENT
BY
SENATOR BIRCH BAYH, CHAIRMAN
SENATE SELECT COMMITTEE ON INTELLIGENCE
STATI NTL
The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence opens its
hearings today on the nomination of Mr. Frank C. Carlucci to
be Deputy Director of Central Intelligence. These hearings
come at a crucial time.
On Tuesday of this week, President Carter signed Executive
Order 12036. President Carter's Executive Order is intended to
? serve as an interim measure governing the intelligence activities
of the United States. ?The Committee will continue its hearings
next week on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, S. 1566, a
bill intended to place all wiretap activities conducted in the
United States under the law. At the end of next week the Select
Committee on Intelligence will introduce a comprehensive legislative
charter governing all the intelligence activities of the United
States. We have been working jointly with the Executive branch
over the past year on these statutes and work continues. When
hearings and amendments are completed, the legislation will
clearly define the authorities for the intelligence entities of
the United States, assign missions and priorities for their
activities, place limitations upon certain activities which
could impinge upon the rights of Americans, and provide for more
effective oversight both within the Executive branch and Legislative
branch.

This Committee has a duty to assure that the intelligence
community performs at the most effective possible level, but
does so within the Constitution and the law. Our country needs
an effective intelligence system. It is necessary for meaningful
strategic arms limitation agreements. Timely intelligence and
analysis is required for all aspects of United States foreign
policy and national security policy. This Committee has been
instructed by the Senate to do what it can through its budgetary
authority, and through continuous review and examination of
intelligence entity activities to strengthen the intelligence
system of the United States.
The nomination process which permits the Senate to examine
the backgrounds and character and professional competence of those
who are appointed to lead our departments and agencies is a duty
which is taken seriously by this Committee. The Deputy Director
of Central Intelligence is a key position in our national security
system, particularly at this time in our history. The person
appointed to this position must have the ability to provide the
kind of leadership that will lead to a more effective intelligence
system, but he must be a person who is fully aware that the
American intelligence service must operate within the Constitution
and the law. The position of Deputy Director of Central Intel-
ligence requires demonstrated management skills of a high order
because of the highly complex organizations which make up the
intelligence community. Effective intelligence requires, above all,
the courageous independence of mind and scrupulous scholarship.

disciplines and points of view that make up the intelligence
community so that they work together with common purpose.
From the outset of its existence, the Select Committee
on Intelligence has made an effort to work closely with the
Executive branch to bring order and governance to the intelligence
activities of the United States. President Carter has fully
joined with us in this important task. The Comuittee welcomes
this opportunity to examine Mr. Carlucci's qualifications for
this important job. The Committee and staff, over the past
month, have examined every aspect of Mr. Carlucci's career --
records of his performance and background have been made freely
available to the Committee and dozens of Mr. Carlucci's friends
and professional associates have been interviewed in order to
give the Committee a fuller understanding of Mr. Carlucci's
quality and character.
Mr. Carlucci, do you have any statement to make?

WASHINGTON POST
_ __ 2 8 Dec. 1977
Rowland Evans and Robert Novak-=.
Trouble for CIA's Turner
Adm. Stansfield Turner's heavy-
handed rule as director of the Central
Intelligence Agency has badly tar-
nished his former glitter, ending any
chance of his returning to the Pen-
tagon in a 'high military post and mak-
ing him a new and serious problem for
President Carter.
Instead of resolving Carter's CIA
problems (intensified by the forced
withdrawal of Theodore Sorensen's
nomination to head the agency).
Turner has compounded the Presi-
dent's predicament. Carter must now
rebuild confidence not only in the CIA
but also in its boss.
One possible solution: Give day-to-day
CIA command to Frank Carlucci, a vet-
eran civil servant now serving as am-
bassador to Portugal, who is coming in
as deputy CIA director. Under this plan
Turner would be given vague powers as
overall presidential intelligence .ad-
viser, without operational authority.
This possibility stems from Turner's
conduct since taking over CIA. He has
run over most everybody in his path,
military-style. While this disregard for
bureaucratic sensitivity sufficed in
1972-74 when he ruthlessly but bril-
liantly revamped the Naval War Col-
lege as commandant, the beleaguered
CIA is a more complicated civilian in-
stitution.
Criticism of Turner as a public
break-er of china in his own agency is
hurting him in the administration. It
has commended him to congressional
critics of the CIA, but has raised suspi-
cions elsewhere on Capitol Hill that
Turner is taking his cues from Vice
President Mondale and a former-Mon-
dale aide; National Security Council
staffer David Aaron?both sharp critics
of the CIA.
Signs of coming trouble in Congress
appeared when Turner was quizzed by
the House Intelligence Committee early
this month. Asked for a "fact sheet" on
multiple firings of senior officers ii
clandestine intelligence, he replied in a
six-page memorandum on Dec. 14 that
"contrary to media reports, I was not
directed . . . by either the Vice Presi-
dent or David Aaron" to reduce the
clandestine service. .
If this indicates Turner is beginning
to walk on thin ice in Congress, that ice
broke long ago for him in the Pen-
tagon. Intimates of_ Defense Secretary
Harold Brown confide that, barring a
direct order from the President, Brown
would not propose Turner for either of
the two big Pentagon jobs opening up
in June: Chief of Naval Operations or
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Turner has escalated conflicts over
intelligence jurisdiction that have em-
bittered relations between the Pen-
tagon and the CIA for years. Led by
President Carter to believe that he
would become the first true "czarof in-
telligence," Turner tried to run over
Brown and the Pentagon to achieve it.
Ile failed.
Beyond that, Turner's old colleagues
in the Navy say privately that his per-
sonnel troubles in the CIA prove that
he cannot "manage men." "If he comes
back here we want him as Chairman of
the Joint Chiefs," one top Navy official
told us. "That way, he can't do much
harm to the Navy." .
Simultaneously Turner .is attacked.
fairly or not, by officials in the Arnes
Control and Disarmament Agency.
They charge he wastes time in inter-
agency strategic-arms talks and is not
well informed.
Finally, there are scattered indica-
tions, but no more, of Turner's decline
within the White House itself. One incii-
cation concerns the role of his deputy.
Turner has confided to aides that he
did not want a deputy to stand in for
him on a regular basis, with access to in-
telligence evaluations now limited to
the admiral himself. Turner intended to
assign the "acting' director role, when
he had to be absent, to different CIA of-
ficials, depending on the current crisis.
That would protect his own status.
Bnt the White House is supporting
Carlucci's insistence on receiving all in-
telligence evaluations, with the full sta-
tus of a stand-in deputy. Carlucci is a
tough veteran of bureaucratic warfare
ho will not back down.
Since gaining full control and sup-
port of the CIA appears to be eluding
Turner, some experienced officials feel
Carter's best' recourse is to let Carlucci
eradually take day-to-day control of the
agency. Just as gradually, Turner
would move upstairs to a new role as in-
telligence coordinator.
The President has not come close to
resolving this question. Critics insist,
however, that he had better spend
more time on it than he did on his
choice of Turner in the first place.
Otherwise, the worrisome problems of
the CIA will only get worse.

That the administration may be con-

. .
President Carter confirmed yesterday,
he will nominate Carlucci for the jobs.
The post has 'remained unfilled since
the resignation last' July of the previ-
ous deputy director, Ernie Henry
Knoche, an intelligence professional
who left in protest over Turner's poli-
cies. ? ? ?- ? ?

Carlucci, 47, a Princeton honor
graduate who in 21 years rose from
junior vice-consul to ambassador, with
detours ? while on loan from State ?
to be deputy director of the budget and,
later, undersecretary of Health,
Education and Welfare, is regarded by
many as extremely able. His expected
appointment is being welcomed in the
intelligence community by those who
see the choice of Carlucci as a signal to
Turner for probable changes in course
and speed.

fait inter two- groups: These of sub-
stance against his administrative

".`Both his competence and his style
have been bitterly attacked following
his abrupt decision to fire 720 senior !
? people from the CIA's clandestinel
service, which conducts cloak-and-dag-
ger espionage and counterespionage.
, Clandestine-service insiders who
criticize that decision poine out a num-
,
?. ber of factors. Among them:
? Their department ? the? Directorate
for Operations ? has already been
shrunk more than 50 percent from its
top strength of 8,500, which it had in
1969. . ,
? Despite Turner's obvious infatuation
with high-technology intelligence-
.. gadgetry supposed to replace the old-
fashioned spook (spy), no device yet
can look inside Chairman Leonid
Brezhnev's head. - ?
? Heavy reliance on satellites and elec-
tronic intelligence renders the United
States highly vulnerable to counter-
'technology (for example, a Russian
satellite-killing laser). .
? So many jobless, nearly unemploy-
able former American spies and
counterspies would certainly be-
attractive to foreign governments
seeking to augment their intelligence
services_
. Angered agency veterans charge
that Turner's main thrust in targeting
the clandestine services for what some
call "dismemberment" actually comes
from Vice-President Walter Mondale,
remembered on Capitol Hill as one of
yielding foes,
sistant, Davi

the Senate's Church committee on
intelligence. Aaron is also widely re-
garded as unfriendly toward the CIA
and other intelligence agencies..
_
ONE SENIOR retired CIA official
bluntly said, "Stan Turner is simply
apple-polishing Fritz Mondale for
another, bigger job."
Other complaints which have sur-
faced against Turner are that he is an
empire builder who has involved CIA
in needless; largely unsuccessful feuds
within_ the government-(such as that
for control over Defense--Secretary-
Harold, Brown's DefenseeIntelligenceej
Agency); that. he has harnieriCiA mo-,
rale; and that, in the words of the
same retired CIA official, "He is the
first director we have had who has so
blatantly used the agency for his own_
purposes." - ?
Turner hasn't expressly spelled, out
his future purposes, but it came as lit-
tle surprise to those who have watched
his career to note that, on taking his
CIA appointment, he took steps (at an
appreciable sacrifice in ultimate re-
tirement benefits) to retain his active
, four-star rank in the Navy. --
That action strongly suggests that
the admiral hopes for a still-higher job
in uniform ? almost certainly, say
Turner-watchers, as chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff, the top military
position in the armed forces.

Stansfield Turner in the nation's in-
telligence. community. The appoint-
ment is seen partly as a reaction to
recent turmoil in the CIA, where the
staff is being reorganized..
..-The CIA has been reducing the
number of its overseas agents since
last August . on Turner's orders.
Agency spokesman Dennis Berend
said the staff cuts were intended to
reduce costs. ?
They also are aimed at making it
possible to "phase in younger men
and create promotional opportuni-
ties," Berend said.
Carlucci is a native of Bear Creek,
Oa.. near Wilkes-Barre, a Republican
and a career foreign service officer
who was once stabbed by a mob in
Zanzibar and beaten another time by
mobs in what was then the Congo.
. He left the foreign service when
former President Richard M. Nixon
came to power. Carlucci became
chief of the Office of Economic Op-
portunity, then deputy director of the
Office of Management and Budget.
He was later undersecretary of ,
Health, Education and Welfare. -
-. In 1972 he was named Nixon's rep-
resentative to oversee relief efforts in
Pennsylvania after the floods caused
by Hurricane Agnes. .

HOME FOR HOLIDAYS
CARTER GOES HUNTING
He Takes Off Into the Countryside
. Near Plains After Asserting His
Work on '79 Budget Is Done
By CHARLES MOHR
epee' ie The New York Times
PLAINS, Ga., Dec. 22?President Cart-
er, home for the holidays, visited with
friends and relatives in this little south
Georgia village today, answered a few
questions from reporters, bought a hunt-
ing license and took off into the country-
side to do some quail shooting.
Mr. Carter said that he had "signed
off" on the proposed Federal budget for
the fiscal year 1979, which begins Oct.
1, but declined to disclose its size. He
will formally submit the budget to Con-
gress next month. .
The President said that budget office
officials "are what they call scrubbing
, the budget now to make sure the esti-
mates are the best we can do." He added
that he would have a finale brief budget
? meeting in Washington after Christmas
before leaving on a foreign tour Dec. 29.
Mr. Carter also told reporters dogging
his steps on the two blocks of Main
Street here that he was glad that the
Organization of Petroleum Exporting
Countries had decided to freeze oil prices
for now, adding that he hoped the deci-
sion would be "for the whole year of
, 1978."
Walk to Peanut Warehouse '
Dressed in a trench coati- dungarees,
gray sweater and beige -shirt, Mr. Carter
left his home near the north end of town
about 7:30 A,M. in frosty but clear and
lovely weather. He walked a half-mile
to the peanut processing warehouse that
he had built into a prosperous business
but that is now leased to a corporation
by Mr. Carter's financial trustee. His son,
Chip, still works there. Mr. Carter had
? a cup of coffee and toured the premises.
Then, accompanied by his son, Mr.
? Carter walked up the main street with
Its frontier-style arcade, dropping into
? shops to say hello. Almost everyone got
? hug front the President and most of
the Plains people called him "Jimmy,"
rather than "Mr. President.".;
At Turner's hardware store he learned
that''Lavon Turner,. a brother of the
proprietor, was in a, nursing home in
Macon, Ga., and, borrowing a Pen, he
wrote a note saying, "To Leven Turner,
Merry Christmas and best wishes from
your old friend, Jimmy Carter, Dec. 22,
1977."
? The hordes of tourists who Made Plains
a gaudy, and at times uncomfortable,
place last winter have diminished, partly
because the President seldom comes
home. He Said that he liked it better. UM,
way and added, "I wish noencliftel'il
change." e,e'e
? Cousin's Antique Store
! Mr. Carter spent several minutes at
the antique store owned by his cousin,
' Hugh Carter, who is a leader purveyor
of Carter curios. Chip Carter remarked
that the store has "got all the Jimmy
junk you want."
The President was told that his 89-year
old uncle, Alton Carter, who is Hugh's
father and the elder brother of the Presi-
dent's late father, was in bad health but
that doctors had still not determined the
cause. He remarked later, "I'm worried
about Uncle Buddy. He's really in bad
shape."
? The President seemed Surprised when
a grocery store owner told him that
Jimmy Carter cigarette lighters were sell-
ing about as well as Billy Carter lighters,
saying that he thought his iconoclastic
brother had more popular appeal.
At the old railroad depot, which was
once., his campaign headquarters, Mr.
Carter spied a photograph showing the
two brothers bending over some peanut !
plants in a field. Maxine Reese, an old
friend, joked that "Billy must have ?
dropped his beer, because he's never been
that close to the ground before."
Tomorrow in Plains, ,a new demonstra-
tion of discontented farmers is to take
place and the farmers said that many
of them would drive their tractors into
town to protest low farm prices. When
Hugh Carter, a Georgia State Senator
who supported the previous farm demon-
stration in Plains, said that he worried
about some farmers being so angry they
might turn to violence, the President
agreed.
"As long as farmers let the consumers
know they have got a problem, that is
good," the President said. "But if they
ever turn the consumers against them,
they will be worse off than they were
before. What is best for consumers is
to have the farmer strong and have a
sound financial base."

Carlucci to e Nominate
To No. 2 CIA osi *o
By Milton Coleman
Waskttragton Post Staff Walter
PLAINS, Ga., Dec. 22?Tile White
House announced today that Presi-
dent Carter will nominate Frank C.
Carlucci, the U.S. ambassador to Por-
tugal, p) become deputy director of
the Central Intelligence Agency.
The choice of Carlucci, 47, former
director of the Office of Economic Op-
portunity in the Nixon administration,
is expected to? help ease internal fric-
, tion in the CIA thathas?been. brought
about by implementationzeeently of a
reorganization plan.. -
But first the nomination will have
to be approved by the Senate. Earlier
this year, Carter selected Carlucci to
be deputy under secretary of state for
, management, to succeed Richard M.
Moose.
But that nomination ran into oppo-
sition from some congressional Demo-
crats, partially because of Carlucci's
role as 0E0 director and later deputy
director of the Office of Management
-and Budget in the Nixon administra-
tion.
The selection of Carlucci ends the
White House search for a No. 2 man
who was a veteran civil servant. The
CIA director, Adm. Stansfield Turner,
is a career military man. Under law, if
rthe CIA director is a military officer,
the deputy director must be a civilian.
The reorganization plan that has
spawned some turmoil in the agency
was put into effect last August, when,
In response to an order by Turner, the
agency began reducing the number of
overseas agents, The..reductions are
designed to bring more younger per-
sons into the agency gradually and to
increase the chances for promotions.
The Whitie House also announced",
today that Richard J. Bloomfield, am--
bassador to Ecuador, would be Loral%
nated to replace Carlucci in Portugal.
Bloomfield, .50, is a native of Derby,,
Conn. He has been the U.S. repre.:
sentative in Ecuador since 1976. ,

Carlucci for CIA
The CIA's emergence from the cloud of by-
gone abuses has been accompanied by the not
unexpected stress and strain of cutting staff
and revising management. The process ought
to be eased if the reported choice of Frank
Carlucci as ,deputy director goes through. The
ambassadorship to Portugal is only the latest
post that Mr. Carlucci has filled with dis-
tinction in his years of government service. In
his present job, he showed that he was no rub-
ber stamp when he resisted what proved to
have been an unwise stand by then Secretary
of State Kissinger, who reportedly was per-
? suaded by him not to give up support for demo-
cratic forces in Portugal. What the CIA needs
is the kind of administrative effectiveness Mr.
Carlucci has displayed at home and abroad
combined with the kind of loyalty which does
not mean going along to get along. ?

'Executioner' Himself in Ongoing 4
By Jeremiah O'Leary
' Washington Star Start Writer
The decision of the top CIA
clandestine operations officer, Wil-
liam Wells, to retire rather than a'c-
cept a lesser assignment is not reduc-
ing anyone in the agency's cloak-and-
dagger side to tears.
? It's a case of the executioner lop-
ping off a lot of heads and then
getting the ax himself," according to
one veteran CIA source. He implied
that Wells, the deputy director for
? operations, might have attracted
more sympathy if he had not been
the official who processed the list of
210 DDO officers selected for early
retirement recently by the CIA direc-
? tor. Adm. Stansfield Turner.
Wells could not be reached for
comment, but well informed sources
said the DDO chief got his "ticket"
last weekend. He was offered an
administrative post at Langley or a
senior CIA post in Europe. But either
move would have been a step down
for the man who has been in direct
charge of all CIA clandestine opera-
tions and spying activities for the
past IS months.
.' "The irony of it is that Wells pre-
sided over the first cut of 200 or so
officers from the clandestine side.
Even though he probably didn't sit on
the panel himself, the names had to
cross his desk," a source said. "Now
his number has come up."
SEVERAL SOURCES have said
morale at the CIA is at rock bottom
because of Turner's housecleaning..
Apparently all of the cuts, which
eventually will affect 800 persons,
are coming from DDO one of the
three major divisions of the CIA.
Turner's plans do not envision any
. similar reductions in DDA (adminis-
tration) or DDI (intelligence):
-it was noted that all of the cuts so
? far have been of CIA officer's in DDO,
not secretaries and clerks. To
veteran CIA officials, this means
only one thing: Turner appears not to
care very much for the spy side of
the CIA.
"Spying is really something he just
doesn't like," said one source. "The,
. admiral will tell you how well the IT.
.aFs. Shed-
lef's orce
ver,
etgeme
in Cuba and how well the analysts
interpreted the pictures. But he
never mentions that it was spies on
the ground who sent us the informa-
tion that got the high-flying planes
out on the photo missions that proved
the missile , sites were being pre-
pared."
In the first batch of 210 persons se-
lected'. for early retirement under
Turner's reduction-in-force plan,
there was a mixture of GS-18s and
GS-17s, as well as some junior offi-
cers with below-average fitness re-
ports. Many of the senior CIA people
had their 25 years of service in al-
ready, but a number of others were
let go only a few years of retirement.
The CIA is unique in the U.S. govern-
ment because anyone can be fired at
any time, and it has happened to
some persons who were within a cou-
ple of years of retirement. .. _
There are perhaps 4,000 employees
in DDO, and Turner intends to get rid
of 800 of them over a span of years. It
is the uncertainty about their future
that has caused morale to plummet
since the reduction in force oecame
known..
WELLS, AN OLD Far East hind'
and former chief of European opera-
tions, came close to getting layed off
last July. But insiders say the threat
was removed when he began signing
the short notices that went to every-
one in DDO, informing them that a
cutback was in progress. Presum-
ably many of the 'selected out"
clandestine officers heard they Were.,
through from their boss, Wells.
Turner appears to be trying to get
rid of what is perceived of the "old
boy" network at the agency ? offi-
cers who go back.to the days of Alle
Dulles. when Hardly anyone ques-
tioned anything the CIA did and few
had, any idea what that might be. At
the . same time, he obviously is
disposing of younger officers whose
fitness reports or pen,ormance
records are below par.
Whatever Turner's aim, morale
was not helped when the rumor got
around that he intended to bring in
another Navy officer to take over
One official said it is probably true'
that Turner is trying to make sure !
the CIA never again gets out el con-
trol ? especially his ? and that lie I
may be carrying out White House
orders to clean house at the agency.
, CIA veterans wryly tell the story,
"about one European station chief who I
came to Washington to sit on a panel
of three officials to select early retie'
rees and, when he Ea back to his4
European post, discovered that he-
was one of those to be involuntarily I
retired. . -
MEANWHILE, President. Carter
yesterday made it official that he will
nominate Frank C. Carlucci III. now
U.S. ambassador to Portugal, to be-
deputy director of the CIA. the No. 7,
post in the agency. Carlucci, 47, is a

Carlucci, Ambassador to Por ug
Reported Chosen as C.I.A. Deputy
?
By DAVID BINDER
Special to The New Toes Tirn!,s
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21?The Carter
Administration plans to appoint Frank
'C. Carlucci, the. United States Anibassa-
dor to Portugal, as Deputy Director of
Central Intelligence, top-ranking White!
House and State Department officials
said today.
The appointment was proposed, by
several Administration officials as - a
means of dealing with the turmoil that
has developed in the upper ranks of. the
Central Intelligence Agency .under the
,a-gency's new head, Adm. Stansfield
Turner, the officials said. ?
, The selection of :Mr. Carlucci, who is
47 years old, was made last week; they
said, as an apparent compromise between
? the desire of the White House and the
I National Security Council to appoint a
career civil servant and Admiral Turner's
i reluctance to promote a senior official
the agency.
? _Internal turmoil at the agency was
caused in part by Admiral Turner's seem-
ing antipathy toward a number of top-
ranking agency officials and in part by
his dismissal of 212 officers of the clan-
destine services last Oct. 31, a number
of intelligence officers said earlier this
month.
lAgency officials said that Mr. Carlucci
and Admiral Turner recently had .a
"head-to-head" meeting to discuss the ap..
pointment. The officials said that. the ca-
reer Foreign Service officer insisted on
frill authority as deptity director, includ-
ing access to intelligence evaluations that
'ere now sent to the director alone. "-
? The officials said that 'Admiral Turner
had been reluctant.to share this authority
hitt was not ableto oppose an appoint-.
nient recommended by the White House.'
?cA spokesman for 'Admiral Turner con-
-; finned that the two' ma' had mei but
was not able to provide details. Mr. Car-
lucci is at his post in Lisbon today, the
. State Department said.e; -.; . ? '

Boosting Morale At CIA
DIANE DIAMOND: Frank Carlucci, a diplomat who successfully
bucked Henry Kissinger on U.S. policy in Portugal, wiii be named
the number two man at the CIA in an effort to boost agency morale.
Morale at the CIA hasn't been good for some time, especially
since last summer's announcement that a large number of senior offi-
cials would soon be fired. Those terminations have led to a lot of
complaints about the agency's director, Stansfield Turner. One gripe
involves Turner's son.
NPR's David Molpus has the story.
DAVID MOLPUS: At the same time the decision was being made
that some 800 CIA employees were not needed, Director Turner found
room for his son Jeffrey at CIA Headquarters. Jeffrey Turner, a
career naval intelligence officer, was in between assignments in the
Navy and had four months of spare time on his hands. So his father
brought him to CIA Headquarters and created a special job for him.
Jeffrey Turner Is now back In the Navy fulitime, but his
brief stint at the CIA is one small item some CIA officers mention
when speaking of Director Turner's alleged insensitivity. The
Director's critics say incidents such as Turner's hiring of his
son have contributed have contributed to the agency's continuing
morale problems.
The CIA's public relations office points out that Turner's
son had a temporary job and did not receive any pay from the CIA.
No comment was made on the episode's effect on morale.

SUBJECT Carlucci: The Number Two Man at the CIA
LESLEY STAHL: The Carter Administration plans to appoint
Frank Carlucci, the U.S. Ambassador to Portugal, as the number two
man at the CIA. The appointment of Carlucci, a career civil servant,
is seen as a means of dealing with internal turmoil at the agency
brought about by Director Stansfield Turner's dismissal of more than
200 officers of the clandestine services.
The New York Times reports that Carlucci extracted some
conditions before agreeing to the job, conditions that Turner
opposed but that the White House agreed to.

Career Diplomat Is Reported
Chosen for No. 2 CIA Spot
Associated Press
Frank C. Carlucci, U.S. ambassador
to Portugal, has been chosen to serve
as deputy director of the Central In-
telligence Agency, it' was learned last
night. F
Carlucci,'47, has been ambassador
to Lisbon since 1975 and his appoint.
meat is seen partly as a reaction to
recent turmoil in the CIA, where a
staff reorganization is under way.
Walt Wurfel, a White House spokes-
man, declined comment when asked
about Carlucci's appointment, but said
ev er al personnel announcements
were planned for today. "
The CIA has been reducing the
number of its overseas agents since
last August on the orders of CIA di-
rector, Adm. Stansfield Turner, ac-
cording to CIA spokesman Dennis
Berend. ?
Earlier this month, Berend said the
staff cuts are intended to reduce costs
and "phase in younger men and cre-
ate promotional opportunities."
Carlucci, a career diplomat, appar-
ently answers White House wishes for
a veteran public servant in the deputy
director's slot as well as Turner's re-
luctance to promote a senior CIA
official.
Earlier Ithis year, ' Carter selected
Carlucci to succeed Richard M. Moose
as deputy under secretary of state for
management. But the nomination en-
countered Democratic opposition i
Congress because of CarIucci's work
for the Nixon administration. Among
other things, he served as director of
the Office of Economic OpPortunity -
? and deputy director of the Office of
Management and Budget.

Carter plans to name
envoy. as CIA aide
- Washington (NYT) ?The Carter administration plans
to-appoint Ambassador Frank C. Carlucci. currently the
United States envoy to Portugal, as deputy director of cen-
tral intelligence, top-ranking White House and State De-
%partment officials reported yesterday.
The appointment was proposed by several administra-
? tion officials as a means of dealing with the turmoil that
? has developed in the upper ranks of ,the CIA under the
agency's new head, Adm. Stanfield Turner, the officials
said. The selection of Mr. Carlucci, 47, was made last
week, they added. '? -I ? ' " '
Turmoil within the CIA was prompted in part by Admi-
ral Turner's seeming antipathy toward a number of top--
tanking agency officials and in part by his abrupt dispatch
of dismissal notices to 212 officers of the clandestine ser-
vices October 31, a number of intelligence officers told the
New York Times earlier this month.
"Agency officials said that Mr. Carlucci and Admiral
Turner recently had a "head to head" meeting to discuss
the appointment, during which the career foreign service
officer insisted- on full authority as deputy director, in-
cluding access to intelllgence evaluations that are cur?
-
rently sent to the CIA director alone.-- .1
-
? - Mr. Carlucci would replace Jack Blake, a career CIA
officer who has been acting deputy director since July,.
when his predecessor, Enno Henry Knoche, - resigned be-
cause of dissatisfaction with Admiral Turner's direction of
theageacy..

WASHINGTON ? Frank C. Carlucci
- III, American ambassador to Portugal,
will be nominated by the President to be-
come deputy director of central intelli-
gence, the No. 2 post
in the intelligence
community, The De-
troit News has
learned.
Carlucci, 47, an
honor graduate of
Princeton, has been
,a career diplomas-
and governmentat
Frank-Carlucci -
executive for 21
years, rising from foreign service officer
to an important ambassadorship with side
appointments along the way as deputy
director of the Office of Management and
Budget (1971-1973) and as undersecretary
of Health, Education and Welfare (1973-
1974).
He served as head Of the Offiae Of-Eco4--
nomic Opportunity, 1970-71, when Presi-
dent Nixon was in the process of disman-
tling that "Great Society" program, and
later in the HEW post was in charge of
Mr. Nixon's effort to impound some $500
million in federal welfare funds from the
states.
The selection of Carlucci ends a long
search for a deputy to Adm. Stansfield
Turner, director of central intelligence
and of the Central Intelligence Agency. - -
Carlucci's predecessor, veteran CIA
professional Enno Henry Knoche,, re-
signed in July in protest of what he and
many other intelligence officers regarded -
as Adm. Turner's mounting differences
with and hostility toward the intelligence
agency's career officers. - ?
Turner's first choice for the deputy
director's slot is known to have been Dr.
Lyman Kirkpatrick, now on the faculty of
Brown University, but for many years a '
senior CIA official. ? - .
Sources close to both Turner and Carlu-
cci, however, say Carlucci would assume
the post, that the admiral agreed, and that
a meeting of minds exists.
Carlucci has had a stormy tour in Lis-
bon, embracing the Portuguese revolution
following the downfall of the late strong-
man, Antonio Salazar. .

NEWS CONFERENCE #215
AT THE WHITE HOUSE
WITH JODY POWELL
AT 11:40 A.M. EST
DECEMBER 19, 1977
MONDAY
MR. POWELL: First of all, there will be a briefing
session tomorrow from about 10:30 to noon in Room 450 of the
Executive Office Building. The subject of the briefing is a
foreign policy overview, particularly as it relates to the
trip.
It is not a forum in which we expect to make any
announcements particularly. It will be a seminar-type session
for those of you who might be interested in spending a little
while with Dr. Brzezinski and some of our foreign policy
people discussing how we view the situation, and how it
relates --
What room?
MR. POWELL: 450, EOB.
On the record?
MR. POWELL: Some of it will be on the record. There
may be portions which we may wish to put on background. But
I will let that decision be made and announced at the time. Any
particular questions on that? Anything you wish to say on it,
Jerry?
MR. SCHECTER: No.
Will it be for broadcast?
MR. POWELL: No, it is primarily designed for
people who are going on the trip. I think it will be more
helpful to those of you who are going to do that.
I will call your attention to one other item here.
We will have some paper to hand out at the end of the briefing.
As you know, there are meetings here today with
representatives of the National Governors' Conference. One of
the topics for those meetings is a request that was made by the
National Governors' -- I guess it is Association now -- back
in June in which they asked that the Federal Government take a
look at the possibility of what is known as advance funding for
several Federal programs.
We have agreed to advance funding for three
additional programs. They are vocational rehab, maternal and
child health care, and programs for the aging. These will be

MR. POWELL: I will check.
? Jody, was there anything in what Mr. Begin
said yesterday in his interview that was not told to
the President during his meetings?
MR. POWELL: I am not aware of anything significant
or major in that regard.
? Is the President going to take up the
discussions that he had with Mr. Begin with the Congressional
leaders and fill them in precisely as to what is happening,
and if so, when?
MR. POWELL: I don't know what specific plans there
may be for that. As you know, the Prime Minister met, himself,
with some Members of Congress to give them what I assumed was
a detailed briefing on what he had.
? The leadership wasn't there. That was what
I was wondering.
MR. POWELL: I don't know if there are any plans for
the Prime Minister to do that.
? Has the President been in contact with any
of the leaders of, say, Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia since his
return from Fayetteville?
MR. POWELL: I don't know of any personal kind --
you are talking about telephone calls. I think it would be .
safe to assume there have been contacts with other countries
on this subject. I doubt it if we are going to want to
get into a list-making process.
Certainly, I would doubt that we would get into
the details of contacts. I think, however, that State is
prepared to deal at a little bit greater length with that than
I am, since it would have come through normal diplomatic
channels, for the most part, I would guess, sort of from
the State Department. You might want to pursue that with
them if they haven't already been pursued.
? Thank you. I will go right now.
MR. POWELL: My guess is that they have been asked,
or will be asked that at the 12:00 o'clock briefing. I
think they will be able to give a little more detail on that.
r Q Is Frank Carlucci going to be the new Deputy
Director of the CIA, or is he under consideration for it?
see if there is anything and get it for you.
MR. POWELL: I frankly don't know, Frank. I will
