MORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence
Fretbright Request for Publication of the
Director's Transcript of July 19, 1965
cy, Staff Director, Senate Foreign
Committee, advises that similar letters requesting review of
transcripts of testimony concerning the Dominican Republic for
possible publication have been forwarded to Mr. Laird, Mr.
Rogers and Mr. Munoz Marine, as well as yourself. Carl feels
there is no intention of going into Agency matters but does request
a letter for the Chairman setting forth some specifics as to why
we are unable to sanitize and release the transcript.
For your information alone, he also advised that Tom
Mann is writing a book on this period. In consequence, the
Committee is drawing their material together to see what they
have prior to final determination on publication.
