1. This memorandum is for your information only.
2. This office in coordination with representatives of
DDP has prepared an analysis of the Subject article which is
attached (Tab A). There is also attached (Tab B) a CI Staff memoL.
rand.um to the Deputy Director for Plans commenting on the
newspaper article.
3. Tab C is the updated comprehensive version of the
October 1961 document (Tab D) forwarded to the Warren Commission.
Tab E is the distribution list of the 1961 document which was not an
accountable dissemination.
DL
4. A review of the information in the Allen and Scott arti-
cle would indicate that the 1961 document or parts of it were probably
leaked to the writers by a recipient of the document. A total of
32 copies was distributed on a limited basis to members of the
intelligence community and to General Maxwell Taylor while assigned at
e House;

5. The article is considered a serious compromise of a
highly sensitive document; however, damage to clandestine sources
and methods would be nominal. The Soviets are now aware that
the U. S. possesses information as to some of the methods and
operations of the KGB toward high foreign Government officials.
More important, however, the article reflects upon the integrity
of the Agency in the eyes of the general public particularly as it
bears upon the Warren Commission report. There has been a
world-wide interest in the Commission report and the Agency has
been downgraded in its support of the Commission.
6. Further inquiry will be made in this matter and you
will be informed of the results.
