Statement of Raymond H. Rosing regarding audit of Sidney Morris Peck based on telephone interview 8/13/75. In the summer of 1968 I was the Assistant Chief of the Audit Division in the Cleveland District. Irecall some of the circumstances surrounding the audit of Sidney Morris Peck; though I would like to review the audit file (which has not yet been received from the Federal Records Center) before giving any formal testimony on the subject if any should be necessary. My best recollection is. that the return was of a type which would ent. fud by the Cote fierken. a4 baw Coeds t pe AZ ants not normally be seteot adem eadit, The information ‘on the return ae was-not of the kind which the computer would normally ‘seleet for auidit under the IRS DIF scoring method. There was no routine aera) vet Vv, procedure in effect at that time for"manual screening of returns for questionable deductions. Therefore, “without some impetus from outside the normal, routine system, Mr. Feck's ae would in all probability not have been selected for review. - My best recollection is that at the time of the demonstrations by the SDS in Chicago. in 1968, or shortly thereafter, we » received et a ~ in Cleveland a transmission from the National Office with regard to pulling Mr. Peck's tax return, “My impression (though I am by no means certain) is that Mr. Peck was one of a number of people on a National Office list of persons associated with the SDS, HW 450955 Bocld: 324293598 Page 16
HY 50955 ~-2. and that the transmission was the impetus for our pulling Mr. Peck's return for review. I do not now recall whether there were other names of other persons associated with SDS on the. transmission to the Cleveland District or whether Mr. Peck was the only one. Ihave been advised that Inspector Samuel Gardner has indicated he orally transmitted to the Audit Department some information regarding improper deductions by Mr. Peck which he obtained from the FBI. Ihave no recollection of this event, though it could very easily have occurred as Inspection frequently :. supplies information to Audit. : Upon manual review of Mr. Peck's tax return, it was noticed that there were a number of deductions which were not self- explanatory | and which required audit, so an audit was conducted. - [have no recollection that there was any special urgency about ar the audit, or that Mr. Peck was treated differently from any | other taxpayer. Infact, Iwas quite certain the audit was conducted in an entirely routine manner. Ie dace: - re poured A Oey Cy co Nae ona H, Rosing Use by d sw ft wee ed ~Bocld: 32423533 Page i?
THOMAS H. MOORER ADMIRAL U.S. NAVY (RET.) 13 August 1975 ' Mr. Frederick A. O. Schwartz, Jr. General Counsel United States Senate Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Mr. Schwartz: As requested in your letter of 6 August 1975, and passed by en telephone to Mr. Gregory Treverton this date, the following - replies are provided: | Oo 1. During the period September 15 to November 3, 1970, I was serving as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. “Were you aware at this time that President Nixon had requested the CIA to conduct certain activities in Chile directed toward preventing Salvadore Allende from assuming the Presidency? : Answer: My knowledge concerning the CIA activities in Chile was restricted to that information that was discussed in formal meetings of the 40 Committee. The main thrust of these meetings was pointed toward various financial actions aimed at. assisting the established political opposition to Allende. I did not attend the last staff meeting in the White House on the subject of Chile but was represented by Lt. Gen. Richard Knowles, U.S. Army. Neither did I attend : _ the National Security Council meeting on the subject in - eee gtuuene ttselane November 1970. In this case I was represented by General BOE ee William Westmoreland, U.S. Army. Bea 2. Were you aware that these activities included an attempt. by rs CIA and DIA officers in Chile to promote a military coup — metre tee d'etat by opponents of Salvadore Allende? oe Answer: I was not aware that an active effort was underway to promote a military coup by opponents of Salvadore | Allende. Speculation as to the possibility of independent action on thesyjart of the Chilean military forces, who were known to be strict constitutionalists, was of course raised 7 ve from time to time during discussions of the rapidly MG developing Allende episode. As I recall, I was advised
THOMAS H. MOORER ADMIRAL U.S. NAVY (RET.) by General Bennett, Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, on one occasion that the DIA was in touch with our attaches in Chile with a view toward determining the ’ courses of action, if any, which might be under considera-. ~ tion by the Chilean military. This was prior to Allende's inauguration. General Bennett noted that the contacts. and friendships developed by the attaches with the. Chilean officers while assigned to the Inter-American Defense College and the Inter-American Defense Board were expected to be of assistance. Did you hear during this time any reference to a two-track policy aimed at preventing Allende's accession to office? -Specifically, did you ever hear of a so-called Track II? -Answer: 1 did not hear any reference to a '"Two-Track"' policy aimed at preventing Allende's accession to office at that time (1970). I learned of the so-called "Track II" policy only a few days ago (1975). —_ Did you know at the time that any weapons had been passed to Chilean conspirators by the Central Intelligence Agency ‘during the September to October 1970 period? Answer:- I was not aware at that time that weapons were being passed to Chilean conspirators by the CIA. Were you aware of any activities being conducted in Chile during this time that had not been taken up by the 40 Com- mittee, either for informational or approval purposes? Answer: As stated before, the answer is "No. Did you ever learn,subsequent to November 3, 1970, of U.S. efforts to promote a coup d'etat in Chile, a two- track policy regarding Chile, weapons passed to Chilean conspirators, or activities being conducted in Chile during this period that were not reported to or approved by the 40 Committee? If so, when did you learn of these activities? Through what source did you learn of these activities? What specifically did you learn of these activities? Answer: As stated before, I learned of subject activities only a few days ago when I was advised that considerable information had been requested of the Secretary of Defense 955 Docld: 324293538 ee Page 19
Page o THOMAS H. MOORER ADMIRAL U.S. NAVY (RET.) by the "Select Committee," and that a thorough search of the files of the Joint Staff was being. conducted concerning the subject of Chile. I was given this information by General George Brown, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who did discuss the matter with the Secretary of Defense following Dr. Schlesinger's telephone conversation with Chairman Frank Church. With respect to the activities generated by the _"Two-Track"' policy, I was advised at this time that there was in fact a 'Two-Track'' policy and that communications were passed between Washington and Santiago with respect: to action by Chilean military officers aimed at preventing Allende from seizing power prior to the time he was actually inaugurated. In this connection I should report that so far as I know there are no references in the Joint Chiefs' files to the ''Two-Track" policy and I have personally never seen any messages, incoming or outgoing, ‘dealing with ''Track IT." ‘Hence, I have no knowledge of the details of the events alleged to have occurred by the New York Times article you supplied. While the above sets forth my best recollection concerning WAS Cee oot ee the Allende episode, I will of course be. happy to answer further re questions if you so desire. Thomas H.

Miller, Staff Director Mr. Frederick A.O. Schwartz, Srey Chief Counsel United States Senate Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations With Respect to Intelligence Activities Washington, D.C. 20510 Gentlemen: I have your inquiry of July 30 pertaining to constitutional issues regarding foreign covert, action operations. As I told Robert Kelley of your staff on! ithe telephone, I unfortunately cannot take time now to pursue fat length the interesting and important questions you raise.: Permit me simply to sketch my conclusions. | . You raise two broad questions of special interest to me: first, the President's authority to permit the conduct of foreign covert actions in the absence of statutory authoriza- tion; second, congressional power to regulate the conduct of covert actions in view of the President! $s constitutional powers. It seems to me that the fitst of these questions is the more complex but also the less, important of the two. Arguments may. be made, as you know, that). in the absence of statutory authorization, the President has some authority derived from his concerns with foreign affairs and military matters. I believe that the maximum executive authority in this regard is best viewed in accordance with the three-part division suggested by Justice Jackson's concurring opinion in the Steel Seizure Case, 343 U.S. 579 (1952). Justice Jackson's second category in his Steel Seizure analysis seems especially relevant here: there may be situations where a President may be able to act because of “a zone of twilight" ~~ an area in which there is room for initiative by either branch, and in which the executive may act in the absence of contrary congressional directions. I believe that presidential authority in the foreign covert intel- ligence area stems largely from congressional inaction or perhaps implied authorization rather than from any inherent, congres- sionally untouchable variety of presidential power. ant : gn, fle name en, he Xa. : : ny f we glee L. 26 S } fa —_—— ; (CL Eeteew ee A Qe eke f HW 50955 Docld: 32423538 Page 73
Hiv 50955 But it seems to me that pursuit of the question of the per- missible range of executive authority in the absence of congres- sional action is relevant largély to matters of hindsight, and that the more important question pertains to the future. The latter question ~- the question of whether Congress has power to. act, to set guidelines, impose restrictions, and exercise over- sight -- seems to me the simpler as well as the more important one. Congressional power to enact the kind of measures proposed in recent discussions seems to me clear -- even clearer, for example, than the authority to adopt the War Powers Resolution of 1973. Congress, it should be recalled, not only has autho- rity to. adopt measures necessary and proper to implement consti- tutionally granted legislative powers, but also, under the quite explicit terms of the Necessary and Proper Clause, may "make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution" "all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Office thereof." In short, even if the executive branch can assert a “twilight zone" authority to conduct covert foreign intelligence operations in the absence of congressional action, any execu- tive authority in that area is subject to the congressional oversight and guidelines founded on Art. I, §8, cl. 18 of. the Constitution. In short, I would think that .the major congressional focus in the. important task that you are presently undertaking should be on the question of what measures are appropriate by way of congressional control. That, I recognize, is a difficult task; but it is a task which can and'should be undertaken with very great confidence that Congress'‘has the authority to enact what- ever it may vitimately find to be appropriate as a matter of wise national policy. ; With high regard, . . Faithfully yours, Goce & “Ee Gerald Gunther GG:bf Docld: 32423538 Page 74

Bi5 AG 10 AM fs 29 Columbia University SELECT CGHNITIEE ON New York, New York , 10927 . INTELLIGENCE ACTA INES August 6, 1975 Dear Ir. Miller: Your letter of July 30 invites my views as to the constitutional authority of the President to conduct "covert action operations." - Since the Constitution does not speak to this subject, and the’ - Supreme Court has given no opinion on it, I cannot, of course, be highly confident in my views, but:the following is my considered opinion in brief outline: 1. Although the Constitution does not expressly confer the power to conduct covert operations on the Federal Government, I have no-doubt that, as a matter of Constitutional Law, the Federal Government has the authority to conduct such operations equally with other soverign nations. Compare U.S. Curtiss-Wright Export .Corp., 299 U.S. 304 (1936). Clearly, then, the President may carry out such operations when authorized by Congress. .2. If Congress has not forbidden or otherwise reg- ulated the conduct of such operations, the President, it can respectably be argued, may conduct such opera- tions on his own authority. ‘By international practice such operations, like espionage, appear to be an accepted facet of the conduct of foreign relations which is the President's responsibility under his "Foreign Affairs Powers". If so, he can carry them out by all means available to hin, including the use of military personnel under his command , in ways short short of war. See Henkin, Foreign Affairs ’ and the Constitution C1972) «pp. 45-54 and corresponding notes. That such - activities may violate international law, or treaties to which the United States is party, would be consti- tutionally. immaterial: the Constitution does not forbid the President (or Congress) to violate our _ international obligations, and the President may do what is within his constitutional authority even if what he does violates international law. Nath —) Ces peor r 4 ~p 64% ie oe | / a Pitue AW 50955 Docld:32423538 Page 81
_2- 3. I am, however, disposed to the view that Congress can forbid, regulate, oversee or scrutinize, such Executive actions, at least when gross intervention in the affairs of other nations, especially with the use of troops, might invite war, since decisions about, or close to, war-and-peace are for Congress to make. _ If so, Congress can regulate such activities either ~ - directly by legislation, or by denying or limiting appropriations for such purposes. Need I say that nothing above implies my support or approval for such activities as a citizen, whether conducted with or without Congressional authorization? Sincerely yours, Louis Henkin .

Senate Committee. to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities United States Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 . Dear Mr. Schwarz: Your request for information about the gathering of intelligence at a local level, including the names of individuals who engage in gathering of intelligence, is incredible! I think that the elected politicians in Washington who are supposed to represent their states are doing a pretty good job of raping the FBI, the CIA, and the DEA. This, however, involves incest because they are federal agencies. -.I suppose if members of Congress decide to destroy the effectiveness of the FBI, the CIA, the DEA, and the military that this is their prerogative as long as their constituents hold still. | The attempt to penetrate the appropriate criminal intelligence mechanisms of local government by federal lawmakers is an absolute violation of the Tenth Amend- ment of the Constitution. -It will be a cold day in hell when I provide you with the information you have requested. | If I didn't gather necessary intelligence information on criminal activity in my city to assist me in apply- ing my resources at the right place at the right time, this city would be in the same shape as many others. We are proud of the fact that when crime went up nationally 26 percent between 1970 and 1974, crime went down in this city almost five percent. One of the prime reasons is appropriate intelligence operations. OVA —) CL Leen \ tee ‘ HW 50955 Docld: 32493538 Page 97

The United States District Court. for the District of Maryland entertained ‘and assumed jurisdiction in a. civil action filed by the Police Department against the State ‘Senate Investigating Committee, ;.— and on July 3, 1975, crystalizing the issues as being: Bocld: a. Does the State Senate Committee have “authority to be other than a legislative body? i.e., ‘Does it have inquisitorial or accusatorial powers? b. Is the Committee conducting its investiga-~- tion in a manner required by the enabling legislation Article 40 Section 72 et. seq. of the Annotated Code of Maryland that there should be a fair and.impartial hear- ing consistent with the constitutional rights with those who are involved and consistent with the public interest? The Federal Court. denied the Committee's Motion to Dismiss. The sudden onset of your letter requires that I bring to light several problems, some of which are. personal. a. I am an elected Delegate from Maryland to the American Bar Association which will meet in Montreal, Canada, August 9th through August L5th. b. I am scheduled to argue a case in Ashville, North Carolina, before the Fourth Circuit. Court of Appeals on August 19, 1975. c. Does your Committee have outside authority 324735356 Page 109,

Schwarz, Jr., Esquire Page three oo ‘ August 4, 1975 -to inguire in the intelligence gathering activities of a police department when no Federal funds have been used directly or indirectly in these intelligence gathering procedures? d. The investigation of the Police Department by the State Senate Committee and others ' acting in concert with that Committee, including certain newspaper reporters, is _the subject matter of an inquiry presently being conducted by the United States - Attorney for the District of Maryland. As stated earlier, the aforementioned are but illus- trations of the problems that exist in Baltimore; and I believe that it would be useful for the two of us to confer prior to your proceeding to conduct another investigation, otherwise it may well be that unwittingly;a bad situation may be exacerbated ; ‘to the detriment of the people who have a right to expect and oo rely upon the protection afforded by our Police Department. All of the investigations up; to this point have not produced one iota of any evidence of any illegal activity, but to the contrary, the activities of our Department and their lawful pursuit of the prevention. and.detection of criminal activity has been reaffirmed. . a oO I would appreciate, if it is convenient, a copy of the Senate Resolution which gives rise to the Committee's authority as well as the opportunity to telephonically converse with you to coordinate any future ackivities.

Miller Staff Director Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Activities Room G=~308 New Senate Office Building - Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Mr. Miller: I was delighted to learn that you will be able to speak at The National War College on Thursday, 18 September, at 1:30 p.m., to those of our students taking the elective course "Intelligence and National Security,” addressing the topic "Intelligence Con- straints in a Democratic Society: The > Congressional Perspective." This seminar, the opening session for the second bloc of the course, will be the students' principal exposure to the ethical and legal limits for intelligence activities of our democracy. As background, the students will have read the summary of the Rockefeller Commission Report and will have been encouraged to keep abreast of developments in the press. Beyond this, we would benefit in particular from your insights on impending or likely legislation, the key themes of the ongoing hearings, and the quality of the public debate. The session following yours will provide an opportunity for intelligence collectors to discuss many of the same basic issues from their perspective. Perhaps you would lead off with 40-50 minutes of initial remarks. Following a short break, the group will reconvene for questions and answers for the balance of the two hours. The National War College has a well-established policy of holding all remarks in presentations such as yours in strictest confidence. This, we believe, permits the speaker to discuss his subject freely and with complete candor.
In the event you desire additional information, please do not ; . hesitate to call on any of us here at the College. Mr. David W. Overton, the course director, is our faculty member most familiar with the scope and purpose of your. topic. He may be reached at 693-8493. Within a few days you will receive a letter from the College Secretary regarding the administrative arrangements for your visit. We look forward to welcoming you to The National War ‘College on 18 September. Sincerely, . M.G. BAYNE Vice Admiral, U.S.Navy ‘ . Commandant ‘ ' te Geer 2.
