Fall 1982
Conversation with Stansfield Turner
by Garry Boulard
As snow fell in Washington that
brisk Sunday morning in January
1981, Stansfield Turner, then head of the
Central Intelligence Agency, sensed the
mounting pressure and excitement as he
and his wife neared the White House.
"I knew there really wasn't any reason
for me to be there," the fifty-eight-year-
old Carter appointee recalled. "There
wasn't anything for me to do, but I just
felt like I should be with the people I had
worked with all those months in one of
their most important hours."
An official White House photo released
later in the day captured the drama of the
moment: Turner, still in his overcoat, sits
in a corner of the Oval Office, while such
one-time heavyweights as Walter Mon-
dale, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Ed Muskie,
and G. William Miller await the latest
word on the release of Iran's U.S.
hostages-an ordeal that had plagued so
many political careers.
In the middle of the photo stands the
man who in two days would no longer be
this countr s commander-in-chief. Some-
what beleaguered. almost certainly tired,
President Jimmy Carter appeared to be
lost in thought.
Despite the high drama of the situation.
Turner remembered a few funny and even
emotional incidents that occurred before
the hostages were released and Ronald
Reagan was sworn in as the next
president. "We were, for the most part,
just sitting around, hoping for some new
breakthrough, trying to remain calm.
We'd all go into another room for coffee
and to chat, then the phone would ring,
and we'd all run back into the Oval Office.
It got to be a little ridiculous after a
while."
Even as Carter's final hours as
president dwind leAp1wovediCOO F;Mli
perform some of the ceremonial functions
required of that high office. Turner .vas
American citizens and the covert action
taken against governments such as those
of Cuba and Chile, where certain political
movements thought to be anti-American
were ruthlessly squelched or attacked.
One result of that congressional
recommendation was the 1974 Hughes-
Ryan Amendment, which stipulated that
before the CIA undertook any operation
which would involve it in the business of a
foreign country, the president of the
United States would have to justify that
activity as essential to the security of this
nation and then officially inform various
congressional committees.
Such balance-of-power juggling acts
would later prompt Carter to complain
that every time he wanted to conduct any
sort of covert action, he was obligated to
inform seven or eight congressional
committees.
Presently lecturing across the country
and appearing on NBC as a military
correspondent, the graying, physically fit
Turner refutes George Bernard Shaw's
description of top-level government offi-
cials as "people who have no souls, and
are born stale."
On the contrary, in a wide-ranging
conversation with Tulanian, Turner proved
that he's not afraid to express his
opinion, whether the subject is the press
("Most reporters are looking for that big
Watergate-like story and if they don't find
it they'll practically make one up') or the
present foreign policy of the Reagan
Administration ("It has been primarily
one of poor planning and mixed signals.')
Tulanian: The battle for the Falkland
Islands seems to be, for the rime being
anyway, settled. Were there ant' lessons
for us to learn from this struggle?
Turner: There were a lot of them. First

slated to receive the National Security
Medal for his almost four years as chief of
the ever-controversial CIA.
"I left a message with the White House
that they didn't have to go through with
the ceremony. I knew the president was
tired and I thought they could just mail
the medal to me," said Turner. But Carter
was adamant. He wanted to personally
thank the CIA director for his service to
the country. For Turner, a man not given
to sentimental display, the gesture was
heartfelt.
In New Orleans this summer to address
the Tulane Founder's Society, Turner, a
devotee of twelve-hour workdays who
seems to gain energy as the day wears on,
held an hour-long press conference,
appeared on a local television show,
hobnobbed with local officials, and in
between it all raced back to his hotel
room to make several business calls to
New York.
A graduate of Annapolis, where he
ranked ahead of classmate Caner in 1946,
Turner also graduated from Oxford
University before assuming a variety of
naval duties ranging from commanding a
minesweeper to running a guided missile
frigate.
After twenty years of naval service, he
was promoted to rear admiral in 1970 and
later became commander of the Second
Fleet in the Atlantic. He became known
as something of an innovator in that
position and made a practice of checking
up on the readiness of his ships by making
surprise helicopter visits.
When Carter tapped Turner to head the
CIA in 1977, that agency had just gone
through one of the most difficult periods
of its thirty-five-year history. A congres-
sional investigating committee headed by

?~~c~er at~ac~C again ..
Anyone .who has been in the
service probably has heard the
phrase "need to know." In dealing
with military secrets it is a conve-
nient way of restricting informa-
tion to certain categories of
personnel. Such restrictions make'
it less likely that large amounts of
information will be compromised
at the same time. In general,' it
works well.
However, problems often arise
when security categories of gov-
ernment agencies conflict with the
.public's needs for information. This
conflict has become worse in the
' past few decades as government
has sought to cope with the explo-
sive grovrth of information of all
kinds. Too often, material that is
embarrassing ar legally dangerous
to the bureaucracy has been classi-
fied along with the genuine secrets.
The need fora uniform law .
relating to the release of informa-
tion from all branches of the feder-
al government became apparent to
Congress in the mid-196Qs. As a
result, 17 years ago lawmakers
drew up the Freedom of Informa-
tion Act, which provides for a wide
margin. of public access to govern-
ment material.
Since its inception the law has
been under attack from critics who
claim it its being used in "unin-
tended ways that? intern-ere with
important government activities."
Those activities repor'.edl3~ include
intelligence gathering, law enforce-
ment, corporate security and oth-
ers. The Reagan administration
favors weakening the act and has
been carrying on a campaign to
accomplish that goal.
It no doubt is true that the
information law makes it more
difficult to operate clandestinely in
this country. That can create prob-
lems for people who want to re-
cnzit-spies or infiltrate organized
crime, but those tasks were never
easy..
In the long run the benefits of
the act must be balanced against
the disadvantages. It has not been
that long since a certain break-in
occurred at the Watergate com-
Alex in Washington, D.C:, a crime
that became the mast famous
"third-rate burglary" in history
partly because reporters could rely
on the information act, a valuable
ryew legal tool.
Since the iaw soak effect many
abuses in government have been
uncovered and subsequently cor-
rected. without the act most of
that wrongdoing might well have
never been discovered.
Recently CIA Director William
Casey fired a" ne`w salvo of crit-
icism at ,the law when he ad=
dressed a veterans group in
Chicago. Casey, whose awn busi-
ness acti~~ities have come under
close scrutiny by the press, told the
group that the act is undermining
U.S. intelligence operations. In
fact, he went so far as to say that
he doubts whether a secret intelli-
gence agency and the act can
"coexist. for very long."
From here that sounds like ~so
much rhetoric. There may be room
for same modification, but general-
ly the law works well and should be
kept intact. ,
The test of leadership for. any
administration is how well it' func-
tions within the constraints of cir-
cumstances and the law. Reagan
a.-ad his ~ aides should halt their
efforts to cripple -this statute and
get used to performing in the hot'
siuishine of public scrutiny.

RUi~':l~ING AN intelligence agency in a
free society means always working in a
contradiction. Intelligence outfits have an
easier time in totalitarian countries, where
the intelligence chief often is the one to say
what information people receive:
Here we don't operate that way. Our soci-
ety starts vrith the presumption that. an in-
formed public is necessary to run a de-
mocracy -- that. people have a fundamental
right to l?:now what their government is
doing. At the same time we do need in-
telligence gathering, and the secrecy that
requires is constantly being weighed
against the public right to be informed.
It's prohably natural. for an intelligence
chief to privately wish- he did not have this
conflict. ~r,,r?IA~ Director William Casey ex-
pressQd the wish in public, at an American
L~gian convention in Chicago. Casey said
the Freedom of Information. Act, ~3rhich
allows people who request it to get informa-
t;on from government agencies, -rs harmful
to intelligence work.
' "I question very seriously whether a
secret intelligence agency and the
Freedom of Information Act can coexist for
very ~ long," Casey said. The implied con-
sequence is that the Freedom of Informa-
tion Act should be dumped. We don't sup-
pose Casey has considered the possibility
that, i~' a choice had to be made, somebody
might suggest dumping ? the secret in-
telligence agency.
That mustn't be done, for security
reasons. But freedom of information
mustn't _ be dumped, either, for reasons
even more fundamental to the nature of this
society. In this country, we don't make an
either/or choice between security and
freedom. We are in a constant process of
adjusting the demands of each so that both
can coexist.
Casey tells us nothing new when he points
out the inherent contradiction. Nonetheless,
that's the way we do things. A CIA director
who can't accept this fails to understand the
freedoms his agency is supposed to serve.

that they't~~ trying to dismantle the traditional role of govern-
ment. Is~;~t that what people voted for in 1980?
3~.y0ER: No, I don't think they voted for dismantling the
health any safety programs, such as pollution control or auto
safety. I don't think they voted for the use of government as an
instr.umun~: or the wealthy and the powerful.
The elections were generally over the issues of cutting
the deficit and making taxes less burdensome. But the government
is doing so much more than that. As we kno4r, the deficit is at
an all-time record under the Reagan administration.
WOODRUFF: But they did vote for a lesser role fvr
government in the lives of all of us, didn't they?
NADER: But not far a lesser role of government as a
policeman against corporate crime, fraud or abuse, or monopoly.

;With the fall campaign approach-
~ng White House strategists are
plotting a vigorous offensive for
President Ronald Reagan to pre-
serve the Administration's "work-
ing coalition" in Congress rather
khan simply try to elect Republi-
cans. ,
Reagan is scheduled to be on
the road two days out of every 10
after labor Day, ~ and the tempo
will be increased in October,
White House aides say.
Although the basic plan, which
:is stil] being developed, is aimed at

month's struggle over the tax bill.
but it is doubtful Reaga*~ will cam-
paign against his erstwhile Demo-
cratic allies.
In another manuever sparked
by partisan politics, Reagan this
month issued - at the request of
Democrats who supported the tax
bill - a personal "thank you" let-
ter. The letter, according to one
Reagan aide, "will give them
something to wave" if Republican
candidates attack them for voting
for the bill.

Last year, when the President
was soliciting help from a group of
House Democrats from the South
;known as the Boli Weevils, he
;pledged not to campaign directly
;against them if they supported his ':
?economic package. Reagan said at
the time that he might campaign
for Republican candidates in their
home states, but not to their con-
~gressianal districts.
A ranking Administration offs-
~cial said last week that that com-

Catholic voters who are ordinarily
-Democrats.
The White House< rneanwhile,
is in the process of determining
which GOP candidates will be able
to serve as host of a presidential
visit this fall. Some decisions x711
not bemade- until the results of
palls conducted in early Septem-
ber can be studied. If the election
looks close enough that a Reagan
visit could make the difference.
that would tie an important fao-
tor, another White House aide
said.
But he acknowledged that in
some depressed areas. an appear-
ance by Reagan might backfire,
and therefore, Vice President

CIA Director WiI tam C~sey, speaking this
week to the American Legion convention in
Chicago, urged that his agency be exempted
from the Freedom of Information Act.
The CIA believes that status-es which promote
~ openness in government should not apply to, and
indeed are inconsistent with., a spy organization.
While we agree that this nation must have an
effective intelligence-gathering apparatus, we do
not agree that the FOIA compromises our
security. As it stands, the act provides adequate
safeguards for sensitive information.
The FOIA exempts nine categories from
disclosure. The CIA uses two of these to protect
information it deems sensitive. One protects
information relating to our national defense a!?d
foreign policy, Thy ether is v catchall which
proteets information specifically exempted by
statute.
In April President geagan signed an executive
order which toughens the classification process.
It goes so far as to allow the reclassification of
some information which had been public. That
order took effect Aug. 1. In addition, the courts
generally side with the.ClA and other
intelligence-gathering agencies when it cones to
keeping information secrnct.
During the Ford and Carter }'ears the FOIA
was used to obtain information about the CIA's
mind control experiments and "Operation
Chaos." During that operation, the CIA tried to
link anti-Vietnam War dissidents w ith foreign
espionage and compiled hundreds of thousands of
files on American citizens in violation of its
charter.
Both Presidents Fard and Carter ordered
restrictions placed on the CIA and other
agencies, but in December President Reagan
removed many of the restrictions with a new
executive order which, for the first time, allows
the CIA to engage in domestic spying and the
infiltration of American organii}!i } }}}~{ }}} }

Director Casey/Freedom of Information Act
GLOfIIA MINOT: Tuesday, CIA Director William Casey
claimed the Freedom of Information Act should be rescinded
because it gives foreign intelligence agents, quote, "legal
license to poke into our lives. Casey made his remarks at the
annual National Convention of the American Legion. But, as we
hear in this report from Libby Lawson, there's another side to
the story.
LIBBY LAWSON: The CIA Director said he questions very
seriously whether a secret intelligence agency and the Freedom of
Information Act. can coexist far very long, William Casey cites
an example. He says the ease with which the Soviet Union can
gain information has allowed them to bypass research and
immediately produce deadly weapons that threaten the United
States. He said US security would suffer and intelligence
networka would lose effectiveness if the country continues to
release canfidentiai information, and that secrecy is an accepted
way of American life, such as in the medical and legal
professions and should be applied to the so-called intelligence
business as well.
While Casey feels there`s a certain amount of validity.
to this argument, there's a flip side to the issue. Supporters
of the Freedom of Information Act say it should be preserved and
enforced to prevent US government abuses such as the 'Watergate
scandal.
In the book, Former Secrets, complied by Evan Hendricks
" of`Privacy Times, it lists several instances whereby government
-agencies, including the CIA, try to suppress information that
presently has to be disclosed antler the Freedom of Information
Act.

One example from the book cites that in 1974 the CIA
tried to recover a Soviet submarine that had sunk, to search for
documents and the like. Well, the book indicates the CIA asked
US newspapers not to mention the incident, and it so happened
they dial not. The New York Times was particularly mentioned.
Fiawever, the incident was reported later in the Washington Post.

The Central jateliige~,~e Agency
will be on New England campuses
this fall looking for men and wom-
ea to serve their country -- v~~ith

So will the top-secret National
Security Agency. which .has been
described as the government's
"ears" abroad. The National Securi-
ty Agency gathers intelligence
.from foreign broadcasts and also is
respaasibie for making~sure all U.S.

S6rurity Agency recruitment chief
Bernard Nowell said .the agency
opened i:s '~astan GFTICe in 1980
because of the nu?nper of colleges
in New England. '
"They've been a very gaol
soufce for recruitment in the past,"
Norvell said.
At the University of Massachu-
setts in Amherst, CIA recruiters
- nsualty have been booked solid
when they visited the campus dur-
ing the past four years.
"There's always a waiting list"
for CIA iaterti~iews, said Arthur
Nilson, director of the University
Placement Service.

IN F.I:CEh'T 9'EAB~, the pres-
ence of intelligence recruiters on
.campus has caused controversy at
some colleges. ,But with the job
market tight, there are always stu-
dents who are interested.
"if 7D or 30 students aze con-
cerned (with the CIA being here),
you've gut several thousand others
who are concerned about getting a
jab," slid Nilson.
'?If yoga don't want to be em-
ployed by the CIA, you don't have
to go over and be inter`?iewed,"
said Ray Boyer, a spokesman for
Williaars College.
CIA recruiters say they don?t
want "James Bond" types, but coi-
~fie~ ~?~

economics, engineering, languages '
or foreign studies. They are also
looking for mathematicians 'and
photo interpreters.
The National Security Agency is {
seeking graduates in electronic en-
gineering, corriputer science, math
and Slavic. Middle Eastern and
Asian languages.

THE CIA OFFERS new employ-
ees astarting salary of 515,000 to
X16,000. More experienced experts
in some fields start at $25,000.
National Security Agency salaries
fall into the same range.
Robert Weatherah, director of .
career planning and placement at
the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, noted that those start-
ing salaries are not as high as some
in private industry. '
Both the CIA and National Secu-
rity Agency recruit every year at
_ MIT. "Students aren't scrambling
to see them, but there are undoubt-
edly students who' want to talk to
them," Weatherah sold.
. ,k
H(3WEVER, the acceptance., of
intelligence recruiters isn't univer-
- sal. At Clark University in Worces-
ter, a spokeswoman said the CIA
hasn't been on campus since the
late 1960s because of the eoniro-
versy at that time.
The Nations! Security .Agency
visited Harvard University for the
first time last year, according to
Jahn Pollack, associate director of -
placement. The CIA did not recruit
at Harvard last year.
However, CIA recruiters did
..._... _
make several visits to meet stu-
dents at Tufts University's Fletcher
School of Law and Diplomacy in
Medford.
"It's a pretty common occur-
rence here. in the fail," said Pat
Savignano, of the school's place-
ment office. .
How many Massachusetts stu-
dents actually are hired by the spy
agencies isn't known. At the Col-
. lege of the Holy Cross in Worces-
ter, Marjorie :Fernald, coordinator
of career planning. estimated that
one student a year might have been
hired by .the National Security
Agency.
Fernald said she hadn't seen any
increase In intelligence recruiting
in the past few years.
However, a CIA a#ficial said that
in addition to the agency's regular -
campus recruiting, it has started
seeking candidates for intelligence
jobs through radio and newspaper
advertisements.
"These are the limes td put your
training .and ability to work where
?
it really counts, says a radio cam-
mercial far the CIA prepared by a
New York advertising agency.
"The qualifications are high but so
are the rewards to come." the ad
ssys. ,
SO FAR, the radio commercial
has not run in Massachusetts, but
similaz newspaper ads have run in
Boston and other cities.
They are part of a CIA recruit-
ment drive designed to beef up the
agency's staff, fulfilling a~ Reagan
campaign pledge.
CIA budget and personnel figures
are classifsed..Iiowever, Director
William Gasey ham been gusted as
saying the CIA has more money
this year,. after several years in
which its budget had laggeQ by
comparison with inflation.
Charles Jackson. chief of recruit-
mentfor the CIA, said the advertis-
ing campaign has produced a lot of
resumes but wouldn't say how
many -that's ~ciassified. He said,
however, that campus recruitment
is successful.

CHICAGO, Aug. 24 (UPI)~CIA
Director William J. Gasey today
warned that the nation's security is
suffering and that its intelligence
network is losing effectiveness .be-
csuse security agencies must comply
with the Freedom of Information
~ Act.
Casey, addressing the 64th annual
national convention of the American
Legion, said the act gives foreign in-
telligence agents "legal license to
poke into our files," forcing the ~tJnit-
ed States to adopt "budget-busting"
Programs to protect itseL?.
"I question very seriously whether
a secret intelligence agency and the
Freedom of Information Act can co-
exist far van long," Ca.4ey said.
"The willingness of foreign intel-
ligence sen~ces to share information
and. rely on us fully and of individ-
uals to risk their lives and reputa-
tions to help us mill continue to
dwindle unless we get rid of the
Freedom of Information Act."
Casey said the FOI has enabled
the Soviet Union to steal or pur-
chase information that has helped it
improve the accuracy and power of
weapons.
"Secrecy is essential," Casey said.
He said secrecy is an accepted
way of American life in the medical
and legal professions and in business
and should be applied to the "intel-
ligence business" as well.
Casey said Soviet influence has
doubled in the past decade. In 1972,
he said, 25 nations were under So-
viet influence and the number now
-`has grown to 50: ,. , , ..
He described U.S. intelligence as a
way to help Third World govern-
ments in resisting Soviets efforts to
undermine stability through prop.
agenda, terrorist activities and proxy
troops.
Casey said emerging countries do ~
not need big weapons. They need
small arms to defend themselves,
"goad police activities and the ability
to keep up with tbe hit-and-run tac-?
tics of terrorists," he said.
He said U.S. training of govern-
ment troops enabled EI Salvador to
survive insurgent attacks and al-
lowed the nation's.citizens to vote.

Casey calls for abolition of fOI~
-t IA Director William J. Casey says easy access to U.S. technology has
enabled the Soviet Union to skip the necessary research and produce c~adly
~eaoons that are threatening our very existence.
Casey, addressing. the b~+th annual nationa3 convention of the American
Legion Tuesday, said the freedom of Infor,,,ation fist has oi?.~~n foreign
;;;callig_;1ce agents "legal license to po~.e rota our rile-, ~ , forcing t < iJr,ited
States to adopt "budget busting " programs to protect itself.
" They have acquired technology worth many billions by purchase - legal and
.illegal -- by theft, by espionage, by bribery, by scientific exchanges and by
exploiting our open literature and our freedom of Information Act, " Casey
said.
" The damage to our national security becomes all too obvious as we face the
need to spend billions of dol3ars to defend ourselves against soviet weapons,
which have clearly leapfrogged development stages and achieved new power and
accuracy through use of our guidance and radar systems, our bomb designs and our
production: methods. "
Ne said U.S. security will suffer and our intelligence network will lose
effectiveness if we continue to release confidential inforra~ion.
" I question very seriusly whether a secret intelligence agency and the
Freedom of Information Act can coexist for very lor,~, " he said.
" The willingness of foreign intelligence .services to s"are inicr,,.atiun and
rely on us fully and of individuals to risk their lives and reputations to help
us will continue to dwindle unless we get rid of the Freedom of Infor,^ration
Act. "
Ne said secrecy is an accepted way of American life in the medical and legal
professions and in business and should be applied to the " intelligence
trus mess " as well.
Casey said Soviet influence has doubled in the past decade. In 1972, he
said, Z5 nations were under Soviet influence and the number now has gro:~n to 5G.
The Soviets underiaine stability in Third World nations by the use of
propaganda, terrorist activities and proxy troops, Cas__?y said, adding that the
United States can cor~bat such instability by pro~~idinq Third ~forld governments
with effective intelligence.
Casey said emerging countries dan't need big weapons. They need smsll arms
to defenC thentSelves, "good police sc~ivicies and the ability to ke*=p ;;p .~itr1
