The Honorable William J. Casey
Director
Central Intelligence Agency
Washington, D.C. 20505
Dear Mr. Casey:
n
By Executive Order No. 12575 of'December 1, 1986, the President
established a Special Review Board to review activities of the
National Security Council. The Board is to submit its findings
and recommendations to the President by January 29, 1987.
It would be most helpful if you could designate a single
individual in your office reporting directly to you as a point of
contact. The Board will be making requests of your agency for
documents and appearances of employees to be made available to
us. As the Board must use the most expeditious procedures, your
assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated. I can be
reached on 456-2566.
Sincerely,
Rhett Dawson
Director
President's Special Review Board
