Tenet, Director Central Intelligence Agency Office of Public Affairs Washington, D.C. 20505 Dear Mr. Director: News accounts indicate NATO (using U.S. bombers) mistakenly bombed the Chinese embassy in Yugoslavia because CIA maps were out of date. I had no idea Federal budget cutbacks had become so severe. As my patriotic duty, Mr. Director, here is a $5.00 donation to the Agency. Please use it to send one of your operatives to buy an up-to-date tourist map of downtown Belgrade.
