RIGHTER OUT LOOK
In your report "Spying on U.S. Business"
(NATIONAL AFFAIRS, Nov. 12), you quote
me as saying that the results of security
checks of U.S. industrial firms are "dis-
couraging." I would like to correct the
record. That quotation was from a speech
made in August of 1977. Since that speech,
I have been very encouraged by the respon-
siveness of Ameri.an industry to new em-
phasis on industrial security. The results
have been impressive. I no longer find the
situation "discouraging." Instead, it is
heartening.
