MEMORANDUM FOR THE CHAIRMAN, USIB
SUBJECT: Talking Paper for USIB on Release of Sensitive
Information to Congress
1. The attached talking paper outlines suggestions you
might make to USIB in executive session. It has been coordinated
with Messrs. Maury, A. Smith and
2. The paper does not say that briefings cannot be given
at the TKH 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 USIB members ought
to hold this to a minimum but should keep the DCI generally informed
when they have to do it.
3. Paragraph 2. b. recognizes the source of many leaks,
i. e. , high officials, and simply calls for assistance from the USIB
member in controlling this. There will probably be lugubrious
comments about the impracticality of this, but you're only asking
them to do their best.
4. The last paragraph states that the Legislative Counsel
will be the primary point of c 5ntact for you. We believe this is
appropriate in terms of logical organization, and also because he is
the most knowledgeable officer on sensitivity in terms of Congressional
ids. He can turn to DDI for substantive advice'if required.
