SECRET3. The following items were heretofore classified SECRET because they described sources and methods in identifying a support base located in the United States, but are now considered to have been placed in the public domain.Items 124, 126, and 127 on pages 129 and 130 -- INTERMOUNTAIN AVIATION; INC. Intermountain Aviation, Inc. is named as an Agency proprietary in Book I of the Senate Select Committee Final Report, pp. 208-9, and in the Report of the Rockefeller Commission on CIA Activities Within the United States, pg. 218.4. The following items fall into the questionable area as to whether they have been placed in the public domain by authorized Government officials:a. Item 49, page 71a -- ROME DAILY AMERICAN. Classified SECRET because it describes intelligence sources and methods as related to several newspaper publications. However, CCS files contain a newsclip from the September and October 1974 edition of the Columbia Journalism Review which states, "Landon K. Thorne, Jr., the CIA's Bross, and a lawyer for CIA, Benjamin Shute, then a partner in the prestigious Wall Street law firm of Cravath, Swaine, and Moore, now acknowledge that the fourth partner [in the purchase of the Rome Daily American in 1956] was the CIA. [Bross] recently called the arrangement 'atypical' of what the Agency was doing, 'a bad example'." It is questionable whether the remarks made by Mr. Bross, who retired from the Agency in 1971, and Mr. Shute, who left the Agency long before that, can be considered as constituting official Agency disclosure of this information.b. Item 54, page 80 and item 236, page 262 -- FORUM WORLD FEATURES. Classified SECRET because they describe intelligence sources and methods and identification of operations based in England. Forum World Features was referred to -- but not by name -- in Book I of the Senate Select Committee Final Report, page 199, as follows: "Another example of the damages of [propaganda] 'fallout' involved two proprietary news services that the CIA maintained in Europe .... the larger of the two was subscribed to by over 30 U.S. newspapers. In an effort to reduce the problem of fallout, the CIA made a senior official at the major dailies aware that the CIA controlled these two

SECRETpress services." It may be argued that although ForumWorld Features continues to be protected to a degreeby deletion of its name in the Senate Report, CIA dis-closure to newspaper editors, if it in fact took placeand depending on how it was handled, placed the subjectin the public domain.

# SECRETMEMORANDUM FOR: SA/DO/OFROM: Donald J. PurcellChief, Covert Action StaffSUBJECT: The CIA and the Cult of Intelligenceby Victor Marchetti and John D. MarksREFERENCE: Memo for All Divisions and Certain Staffs,from SA/DO/O, 8 April 1977, same subjectFollowing are Covert Action Staff comments on items 24, 48, 54, 55, 56, 236, and 280, which are among the passages containing classified information that were deleted before publication of the Marchetti-Marks manuscript:a) Items 24 (p. 47), 55 (p. 80), 56 (p. 81), and 280 (p. 404) are classified secret, and are exempt from publication under Section 5 (b) (2) of EO 11652, which protects intelligence sources and methods of operation. Specifically, these items name RTV, Inc. and describe it as a CIA proprietary that was used for clandestine operations in a variety of countries. In addition, items 55 and 56 are especially sensitive because they describe an operation in Jordan, exposure of which could be harmful to United States relations in the Middle East (Section 5 b 3).b) Items 54 and 236 (on p. 80 and p. 262) are classified secret, and are exempt from publication under Section (5) (b) (2) of EO 11652, which protects intelligence sources and methods of operation. These items name Forum World Features, describe it as a CIA proprietary that was used for clandestine propaganda operations, specify that the clandestine operations were directed especially at the Third World, and further specify that the man who ran FWF was an experienced CIA operator. It may be worth noting that the Senate Select Committee declined to publish the name of this clandestine proprietary when the Agency advised the Committee that publication would damage the former director of Forum World Features, who had entered into a clandestine relationship with the U.S. Government in good faith.# SECRET

c) Item 48 (p. 71a) is classified secret, and is exempt from publication under Section 5 (b) (2) of EO 11652, which protects intelligence sources and methods of operation. This item names *African Forum*, *Africa Report*, *Preuves*, *Encounter*, and *Forum* as magazines that received CIA subsidies. In the case of *Preuves*, *Encounter*, and *Forum*, these magazines were published by the former Congress for Cultural Freedom. The Government has not acknowledged covertly subsidizing CCF or its magazines, although *Encounter* magazine's ties to CIA have been the subject of press speculation. *Preuves* magazine has been the subject of little or no press speculation, as far as we know, and it is our understanding that French laws prohibit covert foreign subsidies to French publications, which makes it especially important to protect the former CIA tie to that magazine. Exposure of the two Africa magazines would be damaging to a number of prominent people and organizations in this country and in Africa that have worked for improved social conditions in Africa and for good relations between this country and Africa, which would be harmful to this country's relations with Africa.(Section 5 b 3)

SECRET2. The one item excepted is Item No. 57. This item relates to the Penkovskiy Papers. Marchetti and Marks wrote in their manuscript: "One of the CIA's most famous venture (sic) in book publishing was The Penkovsky Papers (sic). This chronicle of spying for the West inside the Kremlin appeared in 1965, and it was allegedly taken from the journal of the actual spy, Colonel Oleg Penkovsky." The Penkovskiy Papers are mentioned in the Final Report of the Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities, Book I, page 194, dated 26 April 1976, as follows:"Another CIA book, the Penkovskiy Papers, was published in the United States in 1965 'for operational reasons', but actually became commercially viable. The book was prepared and written by witting Agency assets who drew on actual case materials. Publication rights to the manuscript were sold to a publisher through a trust fund which was established for the purpose. The publisher was unaware of any U.S. Government interest."3. In view of this published statement by the Senate Select Committee, Item No. 57 has been placed in the public domain by official disclosure by the United States. It can no longer be considered classified under Executive Order 11652.![signature of George T. Kalaris]George T. KalarisSECRET
