employees were interviewed by the FBI in the Washington area concurrent with the
initial FBI confrontation of Koecher on 15 November.
The Office of Personnel met with the ADDI to discuss steps to address the recruitment

appeared before the CBS Evening News toe lain our FCC-A8C 25X1
News complaint. The interview was videotaped for later showing.~did an 25X1
excellent job and CBS said they were impressed. The segment will probably be
factored into a broader look at the media-fairness problem. We do not know when the
show will appear. Similarly appearance on the videotaping for the Ted Koppel 25X1
show went very well. ABC itsel does not know when their program will appear. They
are still ne otiatin with their own network whether an ABC executive will provide a
rejoinder It would be ironic-and the Koppel show people think so too-if 25X1
ABC refuses an ey have to make such an announcement on the program.
Several of Washington's leading journalists told D/PAO they thought the Agency had
come out of the HPSCI-manual episode very well indeed.
Arkady Shevchenko is about to publish a book. He submitted for PRB vetting the one
chapter he said was intelligence related. The PRB cleared it without problem.

- Tom Polgar asked to see the D/PAO recently. Among other things he mentioned he
had been a member of a three-man panel to review HUMINT collection for General
Williams. The other two members of the panel were generals. The recommendation to
Williams was unanimous: that the HUMINT collection program was terrible, probably
could never be improved much, and that Williams should do the minimum amount in the
HUMINT field to satisfy Defense Department political requirements.

s. When a program of systematic review of National Intelligence was
suspended in 1982, the review of some 369 National Intelligence Estimates (NIEs)
remained outstanding. These doc~m~ents had been selected by Agency classifica-
tion review analysts as suitable for declassification; however, because the
documents were jointly produced by all agencies in the Intelligence Community,
it required a massive coordination program. Moreover, since the NIEs were dated
between 1950 and 1965, the copies originally distributed had since been
destroyed or otherwise were impossible to locate. A program begun in 1982 to
examine record copies by Commntuiity reviewers has been ca~leted. Of the 369
estimates, 37 were denied declassification, primarily by the Department of State
for foreign relations reasons. The remaining 332 are now available for
historical review on any other program.
