TO: Mr. Maury
Mr. Proctor
and I have gone over the several versions of
a talking paper for the DCI is release of sensitive information
to Congress. Something really ought to be gotten to the DCI.
We recommend the attached version. It suggests positive
action now and still asks members to tighten up their own shops.
It covers the NIZ's. It does not say that briefings cannot be given
at the TEH level --nor does it necessarily require advance
coordination each time. It allows for the establishment of general
guidelines, which could be construed to be that members ought to
hold this to a minimum but keep DCI generally informed when they
have to do it.
We continue to believe the Legislative Counsel should be the
broker. He is closest to "sensitivity" in terms of Congress' ids.
etc. --and can turn to DDI for substantive advice. I suspect there
will be little business of this kind anyway.
Please let me have your views. If you wish, we can convene
another drafting session.
