an exclusive four-part series...
For the United States. it was Pearl Han
bar that dramatically focused-American
attention on the need for a unified national
intelligence service capable of .putting
facts together. analyzing them and in-
forming those who could act on there.

All the information which could have anticipated Pearl
Harbor was in Washington but it was all over town in
jigsaw bits and pieces with nobody to put the puzzle to-
gether Separately, the fragments were useless. -
After Pearl Harbor. Americans-were determined never
to be surprised again Within a few months, under Frank-
iin Roosevelt's leadership, we had the OSS (Office of
Strategic Services), our first national intelligence agency
which, in 194r, became a permanent part of the L.S. gov-
ernment under the title of CIA.
Durin, the 27 years which followed - until December,
1974 - the CIA quickly rose to primacy as the world's
highest-quality national intelligence agencv. It pioneered
the modern analytical techniques of academic intelli-
gence. of technological intelligence. of surveillance from
space. Its organization never was penetrated by a hostile
"mote" (a counterspy who works his way inside an
opposing intelligence agency as so eividiv depicted by
John Le Carre in his hest-selling "T:nker. Tailor. Soldier, !!

In those good years. the successes of American intelii-

Despite this record of brilliant success and high per-
formance, the CIA nonetheless has its detractors. Sey-
mour Hersh, the New York Times reporter whose 1974
charges of "massive" CIA domestic spying triggered the
intelligence community's past 18-month ordeal in Con-
gress and- the media, is quite candid. In 1975, on the
David Susskind program. Hersh called for abolition of alt
intelligence activities.
The bad patches of intelligence over the years, the
stumbles and. slips which have accompanied the dazzling
hits, show clearly the woes which could ensue if Hersh
and like-minded foes of intelligence had their way and

and minor domestic surveillance -- all
these and numerous other intelligence
dirty tricks fall within the rules of the
game as it is played, not only by our
enemies but by our friends.
Here is a rundown on intelligence services run by some
other non-Communist countries. -
? Ever since the 16th century, when Sir Francis Walsing
ham recruited young scholars from Cambridge and Ox-
ford to spy for Queen Elizabeth in the courts of France
and Spain ? and in Rome, Britain has ranged its
intelligence services in the first line of defense beside the
pound and the British fleet.
British intrigue, bribery, blackmail, abduction and
subversion have overthrown governments, rulers, politi-
cal parties and statesmen' and destroyed. careers and
reputations. r '? .
That our own CIA should dabble a bit in similar mat-',
tersshould come as no surprise: When the United States'
finally entered the game in earnest during World War H.
the model for our OSS (Office of Strategic Services) was
Britain's famed SIS (Secret Intelligence Service, or ":11I-
6").
Much of the glamor of MMI-6'is owing to' a long, cozy
relationship with the British press, which has never felt
any inconsistency in serving national intelligence pur-,
poses abroad, and with the literary . world: Among SIS
alumni are Graham Greene, John Le Carre (real name,
David Cornwell;, Ian Fleming and Compton Mackenzie.
Today. Britain has three functionally compartmented
intelligence services. MI-6 handles all foreign intelli
genre: unlike the CIA, its -C," or director, answers'
directly to the foreign office. which must clear all SIS
operations. For large-scale dirty tricks, especially any
paramilitary operations required by the intelligence
community, the British army maintains a force called
Special Air Service Regiment or "SAS." The original,
pre-Vietnam concept' and training of the U.S. Special
Forces was based on the SAS. ? ? -
Catching spies and protecting official secrets; whether
at home or abroad, is the job of %II-6's "rival firm,"
designated "ttl S." Indomestic cases, MI-S (which
comes under the home secretary) does the digging but
Scotland Yard's Special. Branch actually makes. the
pinch.
? In a tradition largely fostered by Charles de Gaufle, the
French intelligence services have a Iona, record of mur-
der, kidnaping, blackmail, large-scale traffic with organ-
ized crime and internal political intrigue.:' .. .
France has at least four different groups to do the jobs
we expect of the CIA and FBI. as well as many we?do not.
The nearest French equivalent to the CIA has the'acr o
nym; "SDECE." Its Washington headquarters may be
seen in a tree-shaded mansion in the 2100 block of
Wyoming Avenue. The SDECE works jointly-for the de-
fense and interior ministries.
The Directorate- of Territorial Surveillances (DST)
takes care of counterintelligence inside France, burgles
foreign embassies and taps their phones and. not infre-
quently spies on the press. DST comes under the:interior -
minister. -
For really dirty tricks, the French have the Civil Ac-
tion Service, known widely as "Les Barbouzes" (false
beards). It was the Barbouzes, for example, who pulled
off the 1965 kidnap-murder of Moroccan opposition leader-
Mehdi Ben Barka.
? The largest Western intelligence service other than the
CIA is West Germany's END. The BND, which. concen-
trates almost exclusively on Russia and eastern Europe;
is backed up in spy-catching by the FBI-like Office for
- - ? '
Protection of the Constitution-.
The B\D, however, is frequently. swamped --situated'
as it is in the front lines of European intelligence - by
the massive Soviet and East German spy services whose
anti-Western and anti-NATO operations are reportedly.
coordinated from the "Karlshorst Compound" in a
heavily guarded suburb of East Berlin. .. ' -
West Germany, in many ways, is the spy center of Europe. It is a divided country on the brink of the East West
chasm and it is the base for 200,000 U.S. troops with a
major nuclear arsenal. It is inherently vulnerable to
penetration from East Germany. -..t ?- ? ? ?- '-
v Among a wide range of other non-Communist intelli-:
gence services, three are of special interest: South Afri
ca's effective, ruthless Bureau of State Security (BOSS).
which combines central intelligeneeand internalsecurity
with a judicious mix of dirty tricks elsewhere in Africa;
Israel's superb and hypersecret "Mossad," which enjoys
-close links with the CIA; and Sweden's-tigfitly' run serv-
ice which benefits from one of the, toughest official
secrets laws in the world. Recently, agwedish journalist
was sent to prison even for reporting in print that the .
Swedish service existed.
One notable difference between all the foreign agencies
mentioned (except MOSSAD) and our CIA is - despite
their prowess - the fact that every one, at one time or
another, has suffered serious penetration by the KGB, -
something that has not yet happened-to the CIA.
Two of the top officials in Britain's N11-6, defector Kim
Philby and George Blake. were Russian double- agents.
Philby was next in line to become the "C" of Mt-6.-
. As of 1968, a qualified intelligence source recently esti-
mated, France's SDECE was "50 percent penetrated" by
the KGB.

Dear Mr. Falkiewicz:
I have been informed that it would be correct
procedure to inquire through you, whether Director of the
Agency, George Bush, might be available to speak to the
Student Spring Banquet of South Texas College of Law here
in Houston, Texas on the second of April, 1977 at the
Shamrock Hilton 11otel.
South Texas College of Law is the second largest
law school in the state, contributing a greater portion of
the members of the Bar in the Harris County/Houston area.
The banquet is regularly attended by a large contingent of
the current student body, as well as considerable represen-
tation from the local and state bar and bench.
There is no question that Mr. Bush's remarks, both
from his perspective as Director and his past experience,
along with his sensitivity to local attitudes and issues
in that he comes from our area, would be extremely informa-
tive and appreciated by this.audience.
I would appreciate your response to this inquiry at
your earliest convenience, so that the student bar may make
plans accordingly.
Sincerely,
Charles J. Weigel, II
