Mr. William E. ColbyPage Two June 26, 19754. Relationships between other organizations, public and private, and the CIA.5. The use of CIA personnel, funds, or facilities for purposes unrelated to its intelligence missions.Within these broad subjects of investigation, the Committee will examine "questionable activities" by the CIA. These activities are those where there exist, in the words of the agreed upon Outline for Inquiry Procedures, "specific allegations of Agency or Executive Branch abuses or other controversial specific matters where there is reason to believe improprieties may have occurred". The following categories are believed by the Committee to be among those in which questionable activities have taken place: mail openings; electronic surveillance; equipment testing within the United States; surreptitious entries; penetration of dissident groups; use of cover and false documentation; security investigations, including those initiated as a result of or in connection with news leaks; use of polygraphs; political misuse of the CIA; assistance provided CIA by other agencies or private companies and CIA's assistance to them; CIA management of its investments; CIA use of proprietaries, notional organizations and devised facilities; CIA experiments with drugs on unwitting U. S. citizens; CIA detention of individuals within the United States.In regard to each questionable activity chosen for study, the Select Committee will examine the nature of the activity and will attempt to evaluate the results. The Committee will also look at the CIA's authority to undertake the activity, the relationship between the activity and the CIA'S missions, the internal mechanisms for initiation and review, and the external mechanisms for control of such activities.Though the initial focus will be on the specific questionable activity, the Select Committee's inquiry is designed to reach fundamental issues which bear directly on the adequacy of the administrative organization and procedures of the CIA, and the legislation presently controlling the Agency. Among the major issues which the Committee will address are:

Mr. William E. ColbyPage FourJune 26, 19757. What kinds of files have been maintained on U. S.   citizens and organizations? What information was re-   tained and for what reasons? Under what conditions   and through what procedures should such material be   collected or retained?8.

What was the basis for the CIA's estimates of the   threats?9. How are the intelligence and counterintelligence   activities of the CIA within the U. S. or directed at   U. S. citizens abroad organized and coordinated with   other agencies of government?

Mr. William E. ColbyPage FiveJune 26, 197510. Have governmental officials outside the CIA sought    and obtained the CIA's assistance for political pur-    poses or personal advantage? To what extent have    private organizations or individuals enjoyed special    treatment or influence because of their involvement    with CIA activities or their knowledge of such    activities?

What have been the procedures and mechanisms within    the CIA for initiating, reviewing, reporting, and    controlling `CIA intelligence or counterintelligence    activities within the U. S. or directed at U. S.    citizens abroad? How might these procedures be    improved? What are the procedures and mechanisms    external to the CIA for oversight of the CIA's intel-    ligence and counterintelligence activities within the    U. S. or directed at U. S. citizens abroad?

# ATTACHMENT I.## DOCUMENTS REQUESTED FOR STAFF REVIEWThis attachment lists files and other documentary materials which the Select Committee hereby requests be made available for staff review.In the first instance, all of the specified material will be reviewed in unsanitized form by staff at CIA headquarters. The Committee will continue to select particular documents to be transmitted to the Committee's offices in Washington to be used in preparing for hearings and the Committee's report.In order to expedite production of the requested materials we have indicated, where known to the Committee, offices within the CIA which would be appropriate starting points to search for the materials. This effort to expedite matters does not limit the CIA's responsibility to search for such materials throughout the Agency, using as appropriate, lists and indices of CIA projects and programs.This request calls for "all files" of various programs or projects, and "all files" regarding particular incidents or entities. Requests for "all files" are intended by the Committee to include 'all subject, correspondence chronological
[178-10003-10453.pdf — page 7]
- 2 -and all other files or unfiled documentary materials in the office, or storage repositories, of the organizational unit which managed the program or project in question.The requests also include all such files in the offices or storage repositories of the responsible Division Director, Office Director, and Directorate Deputy Director, in the DCI office, and in any other part of the Agency which had significant involvement or connection with the program.Where the Committee requests "documents" or "documentary materials", those terms are defined as all correspondence, memoranda, notes, working papers, buck slips and routing slips, studies, reports, charts, films, tapes, and all other writings, printings, typings, or drafts, and copies or reproductions.When files for a specific project or program are requested under the best known designation of that project or program, the request includes files of any earlier or later versions of that project. Thus, the request for Project MHCHAOS would also comprehend files for the antecedent MHALPHA and MHPASHA projects and for the subsequent MHVAPOR.When any files, portions thereof, or particular documentary materials are no longer available, the Committee
[178-10003-10453.pdf — page 8]
- 3 -requests that they be specified with an accompanying explanation of when and under what circumstances they were destroyed. If no information regarding their destruction is available, please specify the earliest time, and under what circumstances, CIA first became aware the items were missing.We expect that staff representatives of the Committee and of CIA will expedite compliance with these requests, and indicate priorities for production through preliminary review of this notification and discussion of the files involved. It would also be helpful if CIA identifies those persons within each Directorate and Division or Office who are actually in charge of reviewing and assembling material, so that Committee staff can also discuss these requests with them and resolve rapidly any questions or difficulties which might arise.We also expect that a good deal of this material will be readily available in view of the reviews already done by CIA in this area over the past two years. As soon as some portions of any requests are available for review, the Committee staff should be notified in order that they may begin their inspection while the remainder is being assembled.

If CIA staff encounters overlap in responding to this and earlier requests, the Committee staff should be promptly notified.Photocopy from the Gerald R. Ford LibraryNW 50955 DocId:32112856 Page 10
