I am enclosing for your review a news article which was brought to
my attention by one of my constituents from northeastern Pennsylvania.
The article is, as you will note, very brief, but it does raise
some serious questions about the expenditure of $450,000 by the CIA to
commission two works of art. In these times of tight federal budgets
and high deficits, it does appear that $450,000 is a rather excessive
price for two works of art.
I would appreciate your verification of the news account and a
justification for this type of expenditure so that I can informatively
respond to my constituent and any others who raise similar questions.
Your proupt attention to this matter will be greatly appreciated.
I look forward to your response.
With every good wish, I am
JMM:je
Enclosure
Sincerely,
io

Artist turns down $225,000
forwork at CIA headquarters
...KNIGHT-RIDDER NEWSPAPERS ; -
Mitt Mullican recently spent a Week fighting his conscience. He lost.
The CIA is expancling its headqtiatters and agreed to ccmunission two
^ works of art. The artists would split $450,000. The commission would be
nearly 10 times Mullican's personal best of $25,000. He thought it -over. '
? "It's like, when I think CIA, I think guns," he says. `!I hate guns. I'm
no radical lefty. I don't go out and protest. But I don't want to be a part of
the CIA. I read. I hear. It's frightening. I don't Want to go near the place."..:
