F..?

My name is Rex E. Lee. I am an Assistant Attorney

General, and I appear this morning on behalf of the Execu-

tive Branch.

We understand that this Committee yesterday, acting

in executive session and over the protests of representa-

tives of the Department of State, the Department of Defense,

and the Central Intelligence Agency, voted to declassify

and release to the public, and did in fact subsequently

make available to the public, materials properly classified

under law. These materials had been provided to the

Committee as classified documents pursuant to its requests.

The materials released by the Select Committee concerned,

among other things, certain foreign communication intel-

ligence activities of the United States Government.

The Committee Chairman also advised the representatives

of State, Defense, and the CIA that it was his position

that the Select Committee possessed the inherent right to

declassify any materials classified by the Executive

Branch and that the Select Committee would continue to

exercise that asserted inherent right in its sole discretion.

We object strongly to the unilateral and unprecedented

action of the Committee in declassifying sensitive information

furnished to the Committee by the Executive Branch. The

successful and efficient conduct of the work of several

NH 54974 DocId: 32989721 Page 19

## Page 20

- 2 =

congressional committees depends upon the receipt by

those

committees of classified information, which has con-

sistently been delivered to those committees on the

understanding that the integrity of the classification

would be maintained. The action of this Committee

yesterday stands as a sharp departure from the traditionai

manner of handling classified information to accommodate

the respective constitutional responsibilities of the Execu-

tive and Legislative branches. In addition, the release of

classified information such as the Committee has done,

and has stated it will continue to do, causes serious and

irreparable harm to the national security and foreign.

relations of the United States. Finally, the Committee'si:

action is contrary to the express policies of Congress

concerning the handling of classified information. I refer

to the Case Act (1 U.S.C. Sect. 112b) and the Freedom of

Information Act (5 U.S.C. Sect. 552). The Committee's.

action is also inconsistent with the purposes and policies

of several statutes enacted by the Congress to prevent and

penalize disclosure of properly classified information:

except as authorized by the Executive Branch.

The constitutional question raised by the Committee's

action is a most serious one.

The Executive Branch has

endeavored, in a spirit of comity and cooperation, to

work with the Select Committee on Intelligence, but it

cannot accept this unprecedented action, which in our

view is an unconstitutional act.

The Congress is vested with the powers to legislate

and to oversee the administration of the laws passed by

it, but this action of the Committee is not a legislative

act nor is it oversight. It is a vote by a single Commit-

tee to review and overturn an Executive act and, there-

fore, beyond any power vested in it.

In view of the position expressed by the Committee to

our representatives yesterday, the President's responsibilities

for the national security and foreign relations of the United

States leave him no alternative but to request the immediate

return of all classified materials heretofore provided by

any department or agency of the Executive Branch and direct

all departments and agencies of the Executive Branch respect-

fully to decline to provide the Select Committee with

classified materials, including testimony and interviews

which disclose such materials, until the Committee satisfactorily

alters its position.

We regret the Committee's action and the consequent

necessity for this response.

We would prefer the relation-

ship of constitutional accommodation and cooperation that

exists between the Executive Branch and other congressional

committees.

5. Reading of classified documents is to be in a reading area,

consisting of several tables, in the secure area. A staff employee

desiring access to a classified document must make a request for

it, Ms. Hess then obtains it, the employee reads it in the secure

area and it is then returned to Ms. Hess for return to the safe

cabinet. Staff employees have been advised that notes taken from

classified documents and material prepared from such notes or the

documents must respect the original classification and receive

corresponding security. Copying of classified documents is to be

6. The entire space has been swept and plans call for

additional periodic sweeping. There is a motion detector in the

secure area which rings at the guard desk in the staff area and

also at the main office of the Capitol Police in the Rayburn Building.

Tests have been made of this device and the response by the Capitol

Police was immediate. Two doors which normally serve as access

to the secure area from space occupied by other House Committees

have been secured from the inside and alarms are to be installed

on these doors.

7. Mr. A. Searle Field, Staff Director, and Ms. Hess

advised that staff employees have been alerted to telephone security.

and this will be continually stressed.

Also they have tried to instill

strong security consciousness among all the staff. Mr. Field

indicated that at present it is not expected the staff will total more

than 35.

he employee In a very diffioult situation, particularls

when he 18 called upon repeatedly to justify his actions

Not only does

this disrupt the normal routine of the agency, but it tends

to undermine the norale of lts employees.

We have experienced considerable difficulty

establishing guidelines for these interviews and for the

revlew or production of documents in agency files.

After

some months of negotiations with the Senate Saleet Coumittee,

ve finally agreed upon certain procedures in these natters.

It appears, however, these procedures are not acceptable to

the liouse Select Connittee which prefers to deal with each

request on an ad boc basis. He can expect similar problema

with other Cormittees of Congress, each of which is concerned

about preserving its own autonomy and carrying out what it

perceives to be a separate legialative or overaight mandate.

This makes 1t necessary for us to respond in different ways

to different Conmittees of Congress, even though there 18

considerable overlap in the type of

• Infornation requested.

As you might expect these demands Impose a

substantlal adainistrative burden on each of the agencles

Involved.

In an effort to minimize this problen, I have

appointed a Special Counsel for Intelligence Coordination

uno reports alrectly to me in these matters.

The Bureau

has also creatad a special untt to handle these requests,

staffed by several Agent and clerical personnel. Monetheless

the demands have been so great that 1t 1s often imposalble

to comply in a manner which 1s satisfactory to the Committees.

In my opinion, we will soon be at a point where the effort

needed to comply in a complete and timely fashion to Congres-

sional demande v111 serioualy undermine the ability of these

agencies to cary out their normal investigative responsibilities.

Honorable Phillip W. Buchen

I am also concerned about the cositility of

compromising extIenely sensitive sourcer

no ongoin

investigations.

While it 1a not ry intertion to duestion

the Integrity of Congressional stalf tel'rs, the vide-

spread dissenination of these materiala inevitibly

Increases the likelihood of impisper disclosure.

The

problem is negravated in the House by Rule 1? which

provides that Information furnisted to a Coumittoo is

avallable upon request to any verber of the House.

As

you know, Rule 7.3 of the House Rules fnr the Select

Cormittee on Intelligence Activitics states that,

such time as the comittee hus subuitted its final report

to the House, classified of other sensitive Information

In the committee records and files shall not be nade

evallaile or disclosed to other then the committee nenber-

ship and the committee staff

" except aa may be otherwise

deterined by the committee.

It is not at all clear,

however,

whether the Cormittee Rules supersede established

rules of the House. Furthermore, Rule 7.3 does not deal

with the ultinate disposition of

such materials once the

Cormittee has eubuitted its final report.

Until this matter

1s resolved, we have no real assurmce that this infornetion

will be afforded the proper safeguardo.

These problens can be greatly alleviated eithout

any impaliment of Congressional resporsibilities by the

creation of a joint oversight Cormittee.

A consolidation

of the oversight functions it one Conrittee would reduce

duplication of effort and enhance the ability of the

Congress to acquire the Inforration needed for an Intel-

ligent and reasoned judgment in these matters. It would

also mininize the coupetitive atmosphere which presently

exists among some of these Committees.

I would urge,

therefore, that such a proposal be made to the joint

leadership of Congress, vith a view toward the prompt

resolution of this issue.

It was pointed out that the

He was told that

the Department of Justice is researching the question of

whether the Government can reimburse an employee who finds

it necessary to employ private counsel at his own defense:

Rogovin said he felt that the Department's position was

inconsistent with its participation in the lawsuits involving

Haldeman,

Ehrlichman, Mitchell, et al., in which

the Department

is providing legal representation. Rogovin said he believed

an effort was underway to set up a panel of attorneys in

officers and directors. He was told that this information

would not be furnished to him, since it is

given very limited

dissemination even within the intelligence

conmunity. Field

said this position demonstrates

a lack of trust toward the

Committee and its staff members and a failure to respect their

legislative mandate.

Rogovin said that is not the issue; rather

it is whether it is wise to entrust all that sensitive informa-

tion to one person.

• As a final item he said that Congressman Les. Aspin

had asked for a briefing on electronic surveillance practices.

Rogovin said Aspin is one of the brightest members on the

Committee and can be a leader in molding the opinion of the

Committee.

Wilderotter said we should not honor. Aspin's request

until we have some

assurances that he will maintain the confi-

dentiality of such information. He suggested that we hold up

until the Committee has a better track record."

Rogovin then asked for. comments from those in

attendance concerning a draft letter from Mr. Colby as Director

of Central Intelligence to Congressman Pike concerning procedures

that would be followed with respect to requests for documents

and interviews of witnesses (copy attached).

Mr. William G.

Hyland, Director of Intelligence and Research,

Department of

State, said that his Department will not provide a reading room

for Committee staff members, nor will they give a brief

description of documents belonging to another agency.

It was

suggested and agreed that the wording of the draft letter will

be revised to eliminate any references to a "brief description"

of documents withheld for Third Agency clearances.

The question of the ultimate disposition of documents

and other materials furnished the Committee was raised once

again.

Several of the attendees expressed serious concern

about the failure of the draft letter to take a firm position

on the need for a resolution of this issue. It was pointed out

that all of the ultimate safeguards and procedures would be to

however, this was not a realistic position to take and instructed

Rogovin to alter the wording of the letter to strengthen the

demand that a prompt decision be made in this matter.

At the close of the meeting Mr. Hotis expressed

In addition

to the Select Committees of both Houses, staff members of the

regarding electronic surveillances and mail openings, respectively.

Not only does this impose a severe administrative burden on the

Bureau, but it also increases the likelihood that sensitive

information furnished to these Committees will eventually be

compromised. Mr. Hotis said that there was an urgent need for

consolidation of these Committees and suggested it would be

helpful if the Administration discussed such proposals with

leaders of Congress.

Mr. Buchen agreed and asked that a

CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY

WASHINGTON, D.C. 20505

the Honorable Otis G. Pike, Chairman

Select Committee on Intelligence

House of REpresentatives

Washington, D. C. 20515

Dear Chairman Pike:

On July 25th I left with you a packet of materials

concerning procedures that might be appropriate in

handling the variety of demands your committee will

be making upon the Agency in the months to come.

Since

then we have had a number of frank discussions regarding

security and other aspects of your Committee's

investigation.

In addition, the Committee's Staff

Director has held a series of discussions with our

Special Counsel and members of my staff.

With this then

as background, let me suggest the adoption of certain

procedures that I believe will insure our ability to

respond promptly and fully to the needs of the Conmittee.

•I. Documents:

Upon receipt of a written request for documents

dealing with a particular area of inquiry, the Agency will

promptly respond with an answer, a partial response or

at least a-statement as to when the materials will be

available.

To insure that there are no misunderstandings

as to the materials requested, I have encouraged our staff

to contact your staff members and discuss the precise

nature of any request not clear on its. face. Further,

our staff has been instructed to make materials available

as soon as they are ready and not hold up a response

until all of the materials requested have been compiled.

When documents are withheld because clearance is being

sought from

another Agency, your committee will be notified.

and a brief description of the document will be given.

## Page 46

To assist us in servicing your requests we have

asked that where practical, the request for documents be

as specific as possible and that your staff coordinate

their requests so that House Select Committee priorities

will be given to the various demands.

We have set up a

reading room at the Agency where documents will be made

• available for examination.

• With respect to the documents to be made available.

to the Committee, there are certain sensitive materials

that must be protected not only from exposure but even the

risk of exposure. Included in this sensitive category

are:

--names of agents and sources;

--names of persons involved in Agency operations

who would he subject to personal, physical

danger, to extreme harassment or

to economic

or other reprisals if their names were to be

publicly identified:

--material

provided confidentially by.cooperating

foreign intelligence services;

--details that would reveal the nature of sensitive

intelligence methods and techniques of collection,

-names of cooperating Americans and American

organizations and contacts to whom we have

pledged confidentiality.

been instructed

in order to place the material in context. Where your

staff believes that a particular name or detail is critical

to their inquiry, this then should be brought to the

attention of our staff and the matter can be negotiated.

I. believe this procedure is.consistent with your statement

to me that the Committee is not interested in our sources

and methods, or in the names of agents.

Finally, some proposed testimony and requests for.

documents may enter the area of the executive decision-

making process in which the need to protect the

confidentiality of advice or recommendations to policy-

making bodies has long been recognized. This would apply,

for example, to Presidential or 40 Committee deliberations

relating to

approval of CIA actions:

Where such a

circumstance exists, we would advise- the Committee that

executive approval is being sought and that we would be

in further touch with your staff on the matter.

We will want to work together, too, to protect certain

other information which, if improperly disclosed, could impair

this essential

privacy while satisfying the Select Committee's need for a

full understanding of intelligence activities.

II.

Witnesses:

You doubtless will want to interview present and

former CIA employees.. Current employees will, of course, be

made available to the Select Committee for staff interviews

and for testimony.

This on rare occasions may require

special

arrangements, including testimony under alias, to

protect the identity of employees whose safety or future

utility might be jeopardized by. exposure. With respect to

the interview of Agency employees who are currently

detail to other agencies in the government and whose

testimony relates to CIA matters, we will arrange with the

host agency to make the employee available upon request of

the Committee.

Where the employee is sought to testify with

respect to matters concerning his detail or matters relating

to the host agency, we will bring your request to the

attention of the host agency. Thus, if your staff will advise

us of whom they wish to interview, we will make the

appropriate arrangements with

our employees

While I have

authority to direct the

cooperation of ex-employees

will be happy to assist you in any I can. In a very few

cases, their identities also will have to be protected.

As you know, each employee had to sign a security

agreement. upon entering.on duty.This..requires that he

keep forever secret all classified information gained

during his employment, unless he obtains prior authorization

These secrecy agreements

signed by our employees and ex-employees need not impair

the necessary work of your Committee.

In view of the

security protection contemplated by your Committee,

I have determined that disclosure of otherwise protected

information to teh Select Committee or its designated

staff members will, inmost instances,

constitute a fully

authorized provision of information within the meaning

of the secrecy agreements.

This letter may be used to

information to the Select Committee or to appropriate

staff members on matters which otherwise would be

covered by their secrecy agreement. Where, however, the

answer to the particular question covers the highly

sensitive matters mentioned above, the employee or

former employee is obligated to consult with the Agency.

before responding.

In this regard, the Agency should be

notified before the Committee contacts each Agency employee

or ex-employee who is to be interviewed or called to

testify.

I attach a separate letter addressed to CIA

ex-employees which should be shown to them for the

same purpose.

Since so many of our activities involve sensitive

areas, I propose a procedure which should aid the Committee

in expediting its investigation. If the Committee will

in

a position to highlight particularly sensitive issues

and work out methods to insure that your Committee obtains

what it needs without unnecessary risk to the sensitive

matters.

We will then be in a position to advise the

Committee whether any particularly sensitive issues

may be involved. Such

a procedure will insure you get

the information you need to perform your task and at the

same time safeguard sensitive intelligence sources and

methods which I am obligated by law to protect.

In conclusion, we ask that your Committee make an

early determination as to the ultimate disposition of its

records upon completion of its tasks..I

will join me in recognizing that permanent, Safe You
