The Honorable Elliot L. RichardsonOctober 10, 1973Page 6.I realize that I am requesting a substantial amount of information, but as you can well understand, this is a matter of great current public significance. It is not only important that the Congress be kept fully informed, but also that the public be reassured that the Attorney General has full knowledge and control over the mechanisms of our government that directly arrect the constitutional rights of our citizens. Accordingly, I am transmitting this letter in the spirit of cooperation between the Department and the Congress stressed by Deputy Attorney General Ruckleshaus at his confirmation hearings before the Judiciary Committee.I very much appreciated the promptness of the Department's response to my initial inquiry two years ago. I assume that much of the information requested in this letter is readily available. Insofar as some of the information may not be immediately available, a prompt response with respect to such information as is readily available would be appreciated, with the remaining information provided at a later date.With best wishes.Sincerely,![Signature of Edward M.

# THE DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCEWASHINGTON, D. C. 2050529 APR 1975The Honorable Frank Church, ChairmanSelect Committee to Study Governmental Operationswith Respect to Intelligence ActivitiesUnited States SenateWashington, D. C. 20510Dear Senator Church:I have your request of 24 April for additional material, and we are working to make it available to your staff as soon as possible. I believe we will be able to meet your ten-day time requirement with the exception of the materiale outlined in paragraphs 4 and 8. While the Agency's responses to paragraph 3 should satisfy part of your request in paragraph 4, a full response will require a file search and review, which cannot be accomplished in ten days. We do not have separated the responses to Director Schlesinger's letter of 9 May 1973 as between `senior operating officials` and `all employees or ex-employees` responses. We can of course provide you what we have as a start.The answers to most of the nine parts of paragraph 8 will involve a careful file search and a careful review for sensitive sources and methods information. We will do our best, but a full answer to paragraph 3 will require more than ten days.We have for other parts of your request summarized material which we will provide so that your staff can discuss with us the best way of proceeding against the more voluminous backup data. For example, in one instance the backup to the summary involves as many as 20,000 index cards. In another, the basic data involves a roomful of miniaturized data. We need to be certain as to the precise concern of the Committee in these matters in order to respond with the least disruption to the work of the Agency and to help the staff to understand whether they have asked the right question.The materiels requested in paragraphs 5 and 10(a) are in the Watergate reports. I would hope your staffs could acquire this data from the published versions of those reports.![#MOR16 ALL FBI INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN IS UNCLASSIFIED DATE 1-19-01 BY SPD ALM/IG]NW 88296 Docld:32989532 Page 184ENCLOSURE62-116 355 107

# THE DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCEWASHINGTON, D. C. 2050529 APR 1975The Honorable Frank ChurchChairmanSelect Committee to Study GovernmentalOperations with Respect to IntelligenceActivitiesUnited States SenateWashington, D. C. 20510Dear Senator Church:I believe it would be useful if I placed on the record the situation with respect to your 12 March request. I regret that you considered it necessary to issue public criticism of CIA's efforts to meet your needs. As of this writing, the major portion of that request for CIA-originated material has been met and, I believe, in a responsive manner.At our meeting of 22 April, we agreed that if your investigators could review materials at the CIA Headquarters, it would expedite the inquiry and lessen the amount of material which otherwise would have to be paraphrased, a process which takes a substantial amount of time. Special office space and access badges have been provided for this purpose. I agreed that, should specific documents or parts thereof be requested to be sent to the Senate Select Committee offices, the Agency would prepare these as expeditiously as possible without sacrifice to the security considerations consistent with our earlier understanding of the need to protect sources and methods from undue risk of exposure: I also gave you my assurance that we would assist in the clearance of multi-agency papers involving CIA, some of which are on your earlier request.A speed-up in the Agency's paraphrasing process is being undertaken, although as you can appreciate, this involves senior personnel with heavy demands for substantive work, and> ![ALL FBI INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN IS UNCLASSIFIED DATE 1-1-80 BY SRJ ALM 1776] #MOR 16NW-88296 DocId:32989532 Page 186> [ENCLOSURE] 62-116395-107
[124-10273-10007_multirif.pdf — page 186]
the volume of the material you have requested is considerable. At our meeting, I showed you a list of the materials that have already been provided, and Mr. Miller has been kept advised about the status of other materials.In discussing some of the concerns of people in the Intelligence Community about the procedures addressed above, you agreed to raise with the Committee the question of ultimate disposition of materials provided. I understand that this is in train. In this connection, I was very much appreciative of youn reassurance that you and the Committee members will consult with me prior to the release of any classified materials in public statements or unclassified reports of the Committee. Such consultation is consistent with the spirit of the inquiry.I believe our staffs are working well together. There have been the usual inherent problems that one can expect in an investigation of this scope. Because the Select Committee staff personnel engaged in the inquiry are relatively new to the field of intelligence and to the seriousness of the inquiry, expectations are ambitious. But there is something to be said for both sides of the equation. For example, we await the convenience of your investigators on selective follow-up matters on which they had requested further data. Meanwhile, we have urged and are providing the staff with detailed briefings by way of introduction to the Agency's history and functions. I am personally convinced that direct discussions about our work and about specific instances of interest to the staff investigators will be far more direct and productive to them (saving us much useless work) than engaging in debates about massive document transfer requests.To that end, I am very anxious to renew and by this letter I would repeat my request to you that the Committee move personally and directly into the inquiry at an early date. I am delighted that you and the Committee are coming to visit our headquarters for a discussion of the Intelligence Community and the Agency and for an exchange on the precise interests which2NW 88296.DocId:32989532 Page 187
[124-10273-10007_multirif.pdf — page 187]
particular Committee members have concerning the inquiry. We need to understand the specific objectives the Committee seeks and relate these to the priorities of the materials you will need. I believe we can be helpful if we know these. Again, I am convinced that the constructive long-term contributions that we both envisage from the Select Committee's work will derive in a far more concrete fashion by focusing on specific and major questions about intelligence rather than consuming an inordinate amount of time reviewing the details of all of our past history. In that way our main energies and our judgment can be addressed to what kind of intelligence we want in our free society of the future; rather than what we may have had in the past.Sincerely,7s/A BillW.

December 24, 1974 report to the President and provides further detail concerning certain CIA material heretofore requested. Obviously it is not intended to limit what we have already requested.It is the Committee's expectation that all this material should be produced in ten days.I was heartened by the spirit of cooperation demonstrated in your personal reassurances in our meeting on April 22, 1975, and I understand that substantial material was made available to us today at the CIA. However, the fact remains that too much material called for in our document request remains outstanding and the system apparently being employed to clear material for us builds in excessive delays. A necessary prerequisite to our inquiry proceeding expeditiously--as it should to restore public confidence in our intelligence agencies and develop a new national consensus on the proper functions of intelligence activity--is to eliminate these delays.Sincerely yours,![Signature of Frank Church]Frank ChurchChairmanEnclosureNW 88296 Docld:32989532 Page 189![Illegible Numbers]
