ALTHOUGH IDEN B WAS EXPECTING HIM TO BE ANGRYWITH CIA AND THE BOARD, INSTEAD, HE CLEARLY FELT HURT ANDBETRAYED. HIS OBVIOUS PHYSICAL PROBLEMS ADD TO THIS FEELING OFBEING VULNERABLE.

HE THEN POINTED OUT THESE PLACES TO IDENS WHEN WE WENT TO HIS APARTMENT. HE MADE IT CLEAR THAT THERE WAS NO WAY HE COULD DEFEND HIMSELF FROM ANY ATTACK.WHITTEN ALSO STATED THAT HE HAS BEEN RETIRED FOR ALMOST AS LONG AS HE WORKED FOR THE CIA, AND THAT HE HAS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT LIFE NOW IN VIENNA. HE AND HIS WIFE HAVE LIVED IN VIENNA APPROXIMATELY 25 YEARS. HE IS A MEMBER OF VARIOUS MUSICAL AND ART SOCIETIES. HE SINGS IN A PROMINENT VIENNA MEN'S CHOIR. HE HAS PUBLISHED VARIOUS ARTICLES ON MUSIC (HIS SPECIALITY IS JOHANN STRAUSS). HE HAS RECEIVED MANY MEDALS FOR HIS WORK IN THE ARTS IN VIENNA WHICH WE SAW WHEN WE WENT TO HIS APARTMENT.WHITTEN IS ALSO GREATLY WORRIED ABOUT THE FACT THAT HE COMMITTED PERJURY WHEN APPLYING FOR AUSTRIAN RESIDENCY BY STATING HE WORKED FOR THE STATE DEPARTMENT. HE BELIEVES THIS COULD SUBJECT HIM TO CRIMINAL PENALTIES IN AUSTRIA. HE STATED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, SHOULD HIS AFFILIATION BECOME KNOWN, HE WOULD HAVE TO LEAVE AUSTRIA. ON OTHER OCCASIONS, HE STATED THAT HE WOULD TURN HIMSELF IN TO THE VIENNESE AUTHORITIES AND OFFER HIS SERVICES AS A CONSULTANT TO THE POLICE OR INTELLIGENCE SERVICE. HE OBVIOUSLY WAS EXTREMELY DISTRAUGHT AND WAS VOICING WHAT HE BELIEVED WERE HIS OPTIONS SHOULD HIS NAME BE RELEASED BY THE BOARD, ALTHOUGH HE HAD NOT DECIDED ON A PARTICULAR COURSE OF ACTION. ON THE OTHER HAND, WHITTEN WAS ADAMANT THAT NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS HE WOULD NEVER BETRAY THE CIA BY TELLING ANYONE ABOUT HIS WORK AS AN INTELLIGENCE OFFICER.BY THE END OF THE EVENING, WHITTEN STATED THAT HE FELT MUCH BETTER ABOUT THE STATE OF EVENTS. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, IDEN B HAD ASSURED HIM THAT CIA WAS DOING EVERYTHING TO PROTECT HIM AND IDEN A STATED HE WOULD ARGUE FOR HIS PROTECTION TO THE BOARD. HE CLEARLY LOOKED UPON IDENS AS HIS ALLIES IN THIS PROCESS AND EVEN STATED THAT HE HAD A "WONDERFUL" DAY TALKING TO IDENS. IDENS LEFT HIM, THEY BELIEVE, FEELING HAPPY AND CONFIDENT ALL WOULD TURN OUT WELL.AFTER THE MEETING, IDENS SPOKE ABOUT HOW THIS ISSUE WOULD BE HANDLED BY THE BOARD. IDEN A BELIEVED THAT IT WAS MORE THAN LIKELY THAT THE BOARD WOULD AGREE TO PROTECT HIM AND THAT HE WOULD MAKE THE STRONGEST ARGUMENT HE COULD TO THEM. THE BOARD WILL MAKE ITS DECISION IN IT'S NEXT MEETING IN MID-MAY. IDEN B DID NOT THINK IT WOULD BE NECESSARY FOR ANYONE FROM CIA TO COME DOWN TO THAT MEETING. WE AGREED THAT SHOULD THE BOARD MAKE THE REPREHENSIBLE DECISION OF RELEASING WHITTEN'S NAME, THAT WE COULD NOT IMAGINE A STRONGER CASE ON WHICH TO BRING AN APPEAL TO THE PRESIDENT.3. IDEN B EXTENDS HER THANKS TO THE STATION FOR ARRANGING THE INTERVIEW AND HER HOTEL ACCOMMODATIONS. SHE SAID EVERYTHING WENT EXTREMELY SMOOTHLY.

ACTION REQUIRED: PLEASE INCORPORATE THE FOLLOWING INTO THE   *TALKING POINTS TO BE USED IN THE PRESENTATION TO THE<JFK>   *<ASSASSINATION>RECORDS REVIEW BOARD.2. AMBASSADOR MONDALE, THE EMBASSY AND THE STATION STRONGLY   OPPOSE RELEASE TO THE PUBLIC OF ANY REFERENCE TO THE EXISTENCE OF A   CIA STATION IN JAPAN. SUCH ACTION COULD HAVE ADVERSE CONSEQUENCES   FOR US-JAPAN RELATIONS AT A TIME WHEN A NUMBER OF DIFFICULT SECURITY   AND ECONOMIC ISSUES REMAIN UNRESOLVED. IT ALSO WOULD RISK REIGNITING   EARLIER CONTROVERSIES OVER ALLEGED CIA WIRETAPPING OF THE MAN WHO IS   TODAY THE PRIME MINISTER AND OVER PAST CIA FUNDING FOR THE LIBERAL   DEMOCRATIC PARTY. PUBLIC CONFIRMATION WOULD, WITHOUT A DOUBT,   DISRUPT COOPERATION WITH JAPANESE LIAISON SERVICES ON IMPORTANT   COUNTERTERRORIST AND COUNTERINTELLIGENCE CASES. BY MAKING THE   STATION THE OBJECT OF GREATER PUBLIC AND POSSIBLY OFFICIAL SCRUTINY,   IT WOULD LOWER THE CONFIDENCE OF EXISTING AND NEW SOURCES IN OUR   ABILITY TO PROTECT THEIR IDENTITY AND SECURITY.3. IMPACT ON US-JAPAN RELATIONS: THE JAPANESE GOVERNMENT DOES   NOT PUBLICLY ADMIT THAT IT COLLECTS INTELLIGENCE, AND AS A COROLLARY,   DOES NOT ADMIT TO HAVING LIAISON RELATIONSHIPS WITH US INTELLIGENCE   AGENCIES. TOKYO AVOIDS PUBLIC ACKNOWLEDGEMENT BECAUSE IT KNOWS THAT   INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION IS ANATHEMA TO THE LEFT WING OF THE JAPANESE   POLITICAL SPECTRUM, AND ANY ADMISSION WOULD GIVE THE LEFT NEW   OPPORTUNITIES TO ATTACK THE LIBERAL DEMOCRATIC PARTY, WHICH WAS THE   RULING PARTY FROM 1955 ΤΟ 1993 AND IS TODAY THE PARTY OF THE PRIME   MINISTER AND THE LEADING PARTY WITHIN THE RULING COALITION. ANY   OFFICIAL CONFIRMATION THAT CONTRADICTED EARLIER JAPANESE GOVERNMENT   SECRET
[104-10326-10050.pdf — page 1]
MHFNO: 96-3620327SECRETSENSIND: EOPAGE: 2DENIALS OF CIA PRESENCE IN JAPAN WOULD BE USED AS A CLUB BY THE LEFT TO ATTACK LDP SUPPORT FOR THE US-JAPAN MUTUAL SECURITY TREATY AND THE PRESENCE OF US FORCES IN JAPAN. WITH A STATE VISIT BY THE US PRESIDENT FAST APPROACHING AND DELICATE NEGOTIATIONS OVER US BASES IN OKINAWA LIKELY TO CONTINUE INTO 1997, THIS WOULD BE A PARTICULARLY BAD TIME TO OPEN THE DOOR TO ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS ABOUT US ACTIVITIES AND INTENTIONS IN JAPAN.4. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF CIA PRESENCE WOULD ALSO REVIVE OLD CONTROVERSIES THAT HAVE LARGELY RECEDED FROM THE HEADLINES. IN 1995, THE PRESS MADE A MAJOR ISSUE OF CIA FUNDING FOR THE LDP IN ITS FORMATIVE YEARS. ANYTHING THAT LENT CREDIBILITY TO THE STORY WOULD BE A SERIOUS POLITICAL LIABILITY FOR THE LDP. THEN FOREIGN MINISTER AND LDP PRESIDENT KONO YOHEI PERSONALLY ASKED AMBASSADOR MONDALE THAT THE US GOVERNMENT NOT RELEASE DOCUMENTS ON THIS SUBJECT. ΚΟΝΟ EXPLAINED TO AMBASSADOR MONDALE THAT THE LDP CAN DEAL WITH RUMORS AND EVEN UNCONFIRMED LEAKS, BUT OFFICIAL CONFIRMATION OF CIA ACTIVITY IN JAPAN WOULD BE AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT AFFAIR, THREATENING TO DAMAGE BOTH THE CONSERVATIVE POLITICAL LEADERSHIP AS WELL AS THE US-JAPAN SECURITY RELATIONSHIP. KONO EXPLICITLY IMPRESSED ON THE AMBASSADOR THE NEED FOR THE US GOVERNMENT TO HOLD THE LINE AGAINST DISCLOSURE.5. IN THE FALL OF 1995, A NEW YORK TIMES ARTICLE ALLEGED THAT THE CIA HAD WIRETAPPED HASHIMOTO RYUTARO, WHO HAS SINCE BECOME PRIME MINISTER. IN RESPONSE TO THE ENSUING PRESS QUERIES, JAPANESE OFFICIALS OF THE CONCERNED MINISTRY DISMISSED THE STORY AS IMPLAUSIBLE. IF THE US GOVERNMENT DECLASSIFIES A DOCUMENT THAT CONFIRMS CIA PRESENCE IN JAPAN, IT WOULD HAND THE JAPANESE PRESS NEW OPPORTUNITIES TO REOPEN THE ISSUE OF ALLEGED ECONOMIC ESPIONAGE AND ATTACK THE UNITED STATES AND ITS FRIENDS WITHIN THE JAPANESE GOVERNMENT.6. DISRUPTION OF LIAISON RELATIONSHIPS: THE JAPANESE SERVICES GO TO GREAT LENGTHS TO KEEP THEIR RELATIONSHIPS WITH US INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES SECRET. IN THE CASE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT OF THOSE RELATIONSHIPS, ALL CONTACT COULD BE SEVERED IN THE EVENT OF DISCLOSURE AND EMBARRASSMENT. SUCH A RUPTURE IN THE RELATIONSHIP DEFIES EASY REPAIR. THE SOUTH KOREAN AGENCY FOR NATIONAL SECURITY PLANNING, WHICH SERIOUSLY EMBARRASSED JAPANESE LIAISON WHEN IT KIDNAPPED OPPOSITION POLITICIAN KIM DAE JUNG FROM TOKYO OVER TWO DECADES AGO, IS STILL TREATED AS A PARIAH TODAY.7. IMPACT ON CONTINUING OPERATIONS: OUR ONGOING COOPERATION WITH A JAPANESE LIAISON SERVICE IN PURSUIT OF A MAJOR INTERNATIONAL TERRORIST GROUP COULD BE TOTALLY DISRUPTED BY DISCLOSURE. EXTREMELY IMPORTANT US LAW ENFORCEMENT AND INTELLIGENCE EQUITIES ARE AT STAKE IN THIS COOPERATIVE ENDEAVOR. THE TERRORIST GROUP IS PROBABLY NOT AWARE OF THE EXTENT OF US INVOLVEMENT IN THEIR PURSUIT. DISCLOSURE THAT REMINDED THEM OF THE POSSIBILITY OF US-JAPANESE COOPERATION AGAINST THEM COULD BE DETRIMENTAL TO OUR ABILITY TO COLLECT INTELLIGENCE ON THE GROUP.8. IMPACT ON SOURCES: STATION'S RELATIONSHIP WITH AT LEAST ONE *SOURCE PREDATES THE<JFK ASSASSINATION.> PUBLICITY ABOUT CIA PRESENCE AND ACTIVITY, EVEN IN THE PAST, OFTEN CAUSES SOURCES TO WONDER ABOUT

ON 22 MARCH WE WERE INFORMED THAT THE PRESIDENTIALLY *APPOINTED<JFK ASSASSINATION>RECORDS REVIEW BOARD HAS DECLARED ITS INTENTION TO RELEASE THE FACT THAT CIA HAD A STATION IN TOKYO IN THE EARLY 1960'S. APPARENTLY THERE IS SOME CORRESPONDENCE OR CABLE TRAFFIC FROM THE EARLY 1960'S ON THE SUBJECT THAT INCLUDES TOKYO STATION ON THE DISTRIBUTION LINE. WE HAVE NOT YET SEEN THE ACTUAL TRAFFIC BUT WE HAVE BEEN TASKED WITH PROVIDING COMMENTS ON HOW THIS ACTION WOULD "AFFECT CURRENT OPERATIONS, LIAISON RELATIONSHIPS, ASSETS, JAPANESE/AMERICAN RELATIONS, ETC." GIVEN THE PRESS SCRUTINY OF CIA ISSUES IN JAPAN, THERE IS NO DOUBT IN OUR MIND THAT SUCH A RELEASE WILL BE NOTICED BY THE JAPANESE MEDIA.3. PLEASE PREPARE YOUR ARGUMENTS IN AS COMPLETE A MANNER AS POSSIBLE. WE RECOMMEND THAT QUOTES FROM AMBASSADOR MONDALE, SUPPORTING STATION'S POSITION, SHOULD ALSO BE INCLUDED. ACCORDING TO THE INFORMATION PROVIDED US, THE ADDO HAS ADDRESSED THE BOARD TWICE, MOST RECENTLY LAST MONDAY WHEN HE BRIEFED THEM ON WHY WE CANNOT REVEAL OUR INSTALLATIONS IN SCANDINAVIA, INDIA AND AUSTRALIA EVEN 30 YEARS AGO. THE BOARD ACCEPTED OUR ARGUMENTS ON SCANDINAVIA AND INDIA BUT REJECTED AUSTRALIA. ONCE THE BOARD OVERRULES US, OUR ONLY RECOURSE IS TO APPEAL TO THE WHITE HOUSE.4.
