Howard Hunt," who had allegedly discussed a plan with Presidential Counselor Charles Colson to drug columnist Jack Anderson to discredit him. According to the article, "Colson did not go along with Hunt's version," and noted that he "recalled 'Hunt on a couple of occasions coming to me with some hair-brained (sic) schemes.'" DCI George Bush took exception to the article and sent a handwritten note to the Washington Star publisher the same day the article appeared: "Dear Joe, Darn it - I hate to bitch but this headline just doesn't seem fair. The story points out Hunt was a former CIA hand, but the headline is a little rough - amend that please - just darned untrue - sorry but I just had to vent my frustration." In reply, Washington Star publisher Joe Allbritton replied that he had passed the DCI's comments to his editor "who states that the headline is poor and overdone. I agree with him. I can only apologize to you and say we will redouble our efforts to watch our headline writing. PS: Always call these things to my attention. It may not always correct past errors, but it will help us do better as time goes on." � This material was reviewed recently by the DCI team at the CIA Declassification Center (U//t10) FOIA & EC) Requests (Di/A*3Q) Attorney Wants Records on Aviation Development Corporation (Ull1tri8) Last week, a Michigan based attorney asked for "all contracts, agreements, side letters, letter contracts, amendments and other agreements of any kind between the agency and Aviation Development Corporation."
