MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
1. This afternoon, while discussing an entirely different
subject with Ambassador he brought up the fact
that some of his eo le had apparently queried DD/P for a
list of all their I I so that the State
Department might determine what assistance these
could be in helping on thelIproblem. Ambassador
stated he was sorry t at such a request had been
made and that he understood clearly the implications of it, as
well as the undesirability of the Agency furnishing such
information. He said that subsequent oral conversations with
Bronson Tweedy by his people had totally explained the situ-
ation and how it might be handled, and he asked me to reassure
Mr. Helms that this request could be ignored and he would try
to exercise better controls in the future.
2. I thanked Ambassador for his reassurances
and for his complete understanding of what our problems are
in the Clandestine Services. I told him that if any of his people
felt that this might be lack of cooperation on our part, either
now or in the future, I could assure him that it would continue
along these lines because I was four-square behind the Clan-
destine Services' efforts to remain a clandestine service and to
enhance their capabilities for trulyl He said he
understood completely and was in support of this viewpoint.
3. I have reported this orally to Mr. Helms and we have
agreed that this was an exceptionally helpful viewpoint from
Ambassador I and I think if we ever get into a real
crunch with the Department on such matters, whether they are
in I field or elsewhere, we are in a position to enlist
his assistance for our position.
