28 January 1970° Washington, D.C. (| An editor of a trade. journal, whoa rt first net while on ‘an intelligence aesignsent in Latin.

Por reasons ‘that are core peraonal than advisable I can think of little else that Tt would like to de better, But with the copious amount. of documentation: and background material ‘on hand, that I feel should be adduced to. in any valid treatioe of the subject, it would require — writing no less than & tome, an undertaking for which I am hardiy qualified. Then, too, there ia a growing akepticien On my part concerning. the kind of reception that a topic of thie ‘sort would elicit from 8 society long since inured to violence, corruption and injustice, Still, after ovor six yeure of relative silence, I've decided that I sust. aay souething about all this, it only to answer the lies and distortions concocted about me in the press. Thue, I have ‘compiled this emall booklet, e throwaway, which nay be easily discarded at the whie of. the renier. In it I've _ taken the liberty to sat forth a _reproduction of one of the leaat fanitized ‘references to-my crne that has appeared in the news sedia, an article printed Yast cucmer in the OVERSEAS FAMILY, a weekly tabloid catering to Us S. fervice- wen in Europe.

But ay refusal to do so had absolutely no bearing on the reason for effecting my arrest inthe manner-I chose, nor did it engender in me fear of reprisal by the CTA.
