OUR ENEMIES, REDUCE UTILITY AND EFFECTIVENESS OF ONGOING

OPERATIONS AND EXPOSE NEW LOPEZ PORTILLO ADMINISTRATION TO

BARRAGE OF QUESTIONING ABOUT (COOPERATION WITH CIAD WHETHER

SUCH COOPERATION) STILL CONTINUING AND SO FORTH.

4, IN OUR JUDGMENT ANY SUCH OFFICIAL REVELATION OF

JOINT OPERATIONS WITH LIAISON MAY EFFECTIVELY TERMINATE

(KDBADGER) AND SIMILAR ACTIVITIES, IN THIS CONNECTION SEE

MEXICO CITY 38523641121961

DA TED 26

NOVEMBER WHICH REFERS FO PROBLEM

WE MAY ALREADY BE FACING WITH NEW MINISTER OF GOVERNMENT.

(IT SHOULD BE REMEMBERED THAT TELEPHONE TAPS IN MEXICO ARE

UNCONSTITUTIONAL, AS MINIMUM, OFFICIAL STATEMENT ABOUT

JOINT OPERATIONS, WOULD CONFIRM THE WRITINGS OF PHIL AGEE

AND JOSEPH SMITH.

5, IT ALSO SEEMS TO US THAT SUCH STATEMENT WOULD BE

IN VIOLATION OF OUR OBLIGATION TO PROTECT SOURCES AND METHODS.

IF AGENCY CAN RELEASE INFO ON SENSITIVE SOURCES AND METHODS:

AND PUBLICIZE PAST OPERATIONAL RELATIONSHIPS WITH SPECIFIC

INDIVIDUALS, IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE ON WHAT GROUNDS WE COULD

GRITIZE THOSE WHD MAKE SIMILAR PUBLICATIONS FOR THEIR OWN..

PURPOSES, WHICH TO THEM, MAY SEEM EQUALLY LEGITIMATE.
