Angleton indicated that CIA ‘had successfully developed several sources through this means. He stressed |— the confidentiai nature of his information and stated that while other officials’ of CIA more directly concerned with the coverage were expecting a Visit from the’ FBL he was passing this along for our guidance. ] It would appear that our inquiries of the Post Ottice officials in New York have flushed out a most secret operation of CIA. The question immediately arises as to whether CIA in effecting this coverage in New York has invaced our jurisdiction. In this regard, it is believed that they have a legitimate right in the objectives for which the coverage was set up, namely, | the development of contacts and sources of information behind the Iron’ Curtain and-according to Angleton they have had some success: in this regard. At the’ Same time, there is an internal security objective here in which, because of our responsibilities, we have a definite interest, namely, the identification of illegal espionage agents who may be in the United States. While recognizing’ _ this interest, it is not believed that the Bureau should assume this coverage because of the inherent dangers in the sensitive nature of it, its complexity, size and expense. It is believed that we can capitalize on this coverage by’ pointing out to CIA our internal security objectives and holding them responsible to share their coverage with us... Of course, we are not interested in the identities of the numerous persons in this country weitmately corresponding | abroad.
