Lieutenant General Vernon Walters
Deputy Director
Central Intellgence Agency
Washington, D. t.
Please forgive my delay in formally letting you
know how much your visit to Houston was appreciated.
Although my flashfires are not as global and significant
as yours, they required my attention nonetheless.
I am one man who sincerely thanks you on behalf on
our group. Never before has a speaker generated so much
interest, radiated so much confidence and, unfortunately,
been so castigated by press coverage.
The enclosed article appeared in one of our local
papers. I trust you believe me when I tell you extreme
dissatisfaction was expressed by me to both newspapers
for the manner in which your speech was reported. Here-
with too, I hope you will let me know if you are to speak
in Houston again. I promise I will personally do what
I can to see that you receive accurate coverage.
Again, thanking you very much, I am,
Sincerely yours,
Tom McClain

The Self-Destruct Scheme
F ICTIONAL s p i e s and sleuths
abound in the world of television
and paperback books, each with his
own distinctive device that sets him
apart from ordinary men and wom-
en as an evil genius. But there is al-
most no common ground between
these supersleuths and the intelli-
gence workers of the real world.
The impressive fact about our in-
telligence agencies is not that they
invent and use diabolical devices,
which they do not, but that they uti-
lize the most modern technology and
many long years of specialized study
to produce analyses of events and
capabilities on which nations base
their policies. Of the two, while tech-
nology is important, the long years
of study are the major factors in the
excellence of American intelligence
work.
Those were some of the facts be-
hind the presentation Lt. Gen. Ver-
non Walters made to the Oklahoma
City Rotary Club Tuesday, in which
he took the recent attacks on the
Central Intelligence Agency, one by
one, and answered each by putting
the criticism alongside the facts.
Walters cited the charges stem-
ming from revelations that some 15
years ago some CIA personnel seri-
ously contemplated attempting the
assassination of Fidel Castro. He re-
minded his audience that at the time
Castro was shooting thousands of
Cubans in the stadium, on live tele-
vision, every day or so, and that
many Americans found this a dis-
turbing thing to have on our door-
step. But he made the telling point
that consideration did not result in
action-no one was assassinated.
The infamous toxins, which the
CIA itself recently revealed to Con-
gress, were developed when the
agency wanted to learn how the Rus-
sians were killing emigres who be-
came bones in the Communist throat
-that was more than 20 years ago
now-and developed the reported
poisons to test their effectiveness,
and to learn if there was a way to
protect our own people from them.
The drugs which the CIA tested
were a part of a broad national ef-
fort to learn more about such mind-
bending agents, when they were new
to Americans, including the medical
professions. That came in the wake
of the Korean War experience, and
the degradations of such courageous
men as Cardinal Mindszenty.
These efforts to learn more about
our avowed adversaries in the world
and their person-to-person weapons
of war are being used today to pillo-
ry the entire intelligence establish-
ment. Yet they occurred almost a
generation ago, before the present
CIA leadership was even involved at
the agency.
In keeping up a drumroll of such
criticism, which paints the CIA as a
nest of terrifying threats to our
freedom, some of its critics seem to
hope it will become one of those TV
"self-destruct" mechanisms, a n d
disappear. But the CIA's service is
so vital that if it did not exist today,
we would have to invent it. Its mis-
sion, after all, is to ensure that there
will be a United States in the future.

The deputy director of the Central Intelligence
Agency Tuesday denied direct recruiting of
American mercenaries to fight in Angola.
But Lt. Gen. Vernon A. Walters skirted questions
on indirect CIA assistance in hiring paid soldiers
for the African civil war.
There had been unconfirmed reports of indirect
CIA assistance for the U.S.-supported faction in the
bloody fighting.
After speaking to an overflow crowd at the
Downtown Rotary Club, Walters flatly ruled out
any direct CIA hiring of mercenaries.
Walters also said the CIA has been subjected to a

periment with hallucinogen drugs as "unfor-
tunate... ...Many distinguished colleges and univer-
sities at that time were also conducting research
into mind bending drugs," he said.
The blunt-spoken deputy director said the CIA

more about the drugs

"The main thrust of the agency goes on."
The CIA's fate is to be "publicly pilloried for its
failures but with successes passed over," said the
presidential appointee.
However, Walters did say covert activities take
up a far smaller share of the agency's budget than
15 years ago.
He cited declining involvement in Laos and Viet-
nam for the drop in clandestine work.

there, though."
Walters reported earlier that his visit to
Oklahoma City wasn't part of a CIA attempt at
"public relations."
"We have no PR group but do accept speaking
engagements when we can and are asked," he said.
Walters noted that the CIA makes reports to
about 100 congressmen from whom "we have no
secrets. I repeat: from whom we have no secrets."
He said the CIA must follow. governmental rules
and regulations like any other agency and follow
the direction of the Office of Management and
Budget.
"We're not a policy-making body but an informa-

Dear General. Walters:
I want you to know how much I appreciate your taking the time from your
busy schedule to come to Oklahoma City to talk to our Rotary Club. I only hope
that your message will wake some people up and give them the ammunition that they
need to inform their other fellow citizens about the dangers we face in today's
world. As you can see, the message that you gave must have struck a chord with
many of the people there and I just pray that it won't roll off their shoulders
and be forgotten but that rather it will get them to talking with their fellow
citizens, as this is a prominent group of leaders in the community and the nation
and many of them if they so chose could be very influential in getting your message
across.
I was greatly embarrassed that many of the people that I had invited to
the reception for you after your speech did not show up in time to visit with you.
This event was planned at the last minute as I did not know how long we would have
after your talk when I first invited you. However, I tried to invite a group of
prominent people in influential areas who do speak up and talk about the things
they believe in, to come and visit with you, and I was greatly embarrassed and
distressed that more of them did not show up in time. I hope you will accept my_:;
apologies on this matter.
Enclosed is an editorial that was written as a result of your talk with
John Couston Curry so you can be assured your message received a far broader
audience than rotary. Also none of the muckracking questions that were asked by
a TV representative were shown on TV but rather a picture of you saying "we have
the finest, most dedicated Intelligence Service in the World" etc. The coverage
was very favorable on TV.
If I can ever be of any further service to you or to the Agency, please
let me know as I am at your service. Once again I have heard many people remark
on what a fine and informative talk you made.
Sincerely yours,
EE/me
