The Deputy Director of Central Intelligence
September 7, 1988
Ms. Linda Crowl
The Washington Quarterly
1800 K Street, N.W.
Suite 400
Washington, D.C. 20006
I am returning herewith both the new copy of my article and
your original edited version.
I have made all my changes in red pen. All of them are
minor and involve either corrections of typographical errors,
responses to your questions or modest improvements in my own
work.
With respect to the specific questions in your letter, also
with reference to my original:
Pages 1 and 2: The punchiest quotes are the most
recent and therefore I think they will have the
greatest impact if cited from most recent to the
furthest.
Page 3, line 3 and 4: Your edit is fine.
Page 7, line 19: More analyses" is correct as you
have edited.
Page 9, line 22: I have inserted the names of the four
Presidents.
Page 11, line 24: Multiple reentry vehicle is correct.
Page 17 and 18: I believe the points listed are direct
quotes but I do not have the original and so would not
put anything but the final quote in quotation marks.
-- Page 27, line 14: Your correction is right.

 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/05/08: CIA-RDP99-00777R000302670002-5
A few small points of my own, again with reference to your
original edited version:
-- Page 7, line 8: This is the first time that I refer to
the National Security Agency. I thought it should be
spelled out with the initials then in parentheses.
-- Page 5, line 10: I. have no problem striking the phrase
"it is my experience" but do not believe I can state
the remainder of the sentence simply as fact. I have
written in on the new version "It is my impression that
I think I need some qualifier of this sort.
Page 8, last sentence of second full paragraph: I have
deleted this sentence inasmuch as I believe it
duplicates the last sentence of the very next paragraph.
Page 12, line 10 of the tick beginning "Third": I
think that the quotation marks are needed around the
word "discovering" inasmuch as this was a term of
political attack used at the time that I think most of
those familiar with the issue would recognize.
Page 18, line 8 of the last paragraph: I have added a
three word description of the President's November 1978
note. Other than the quote at the beginning of the
article there is no other reference and it seemed to me
this clarification would be useful.
-- Page 27, third from the last line: "Americans" is not
really the right word here inasmuch as I'm really
referring to the White House and CIA. I have made a
substitution so the sentence would begin "Only thus can
the two institutions seize the opportunity ...."
Finally, I .would ask that no advance copies of the article
be sent out to journalists or anyone else until mid-November,
about ten days or so before publication. If this is a problem,
please let me know.

With respect to paragraph four, you should be aware that I am an officer
