MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Public Affairs
FROM: Director of Central intelligence
SUBJECT: Greater CIA Openness
1. in my hearings, I indicated my desire to continue
Director Webster's policies in terms of improving accessibility to
information about CIA by the public and overall openness to the
extent possible, whether through background briefings for the
press, public speeches by senior officials, or appearances on
college campuses and elsewhere by professionals within CIA. I
would like for you to appoint a task force to review these
practices and see how they can be improved, and also to.suggest
additional proposals for making more information about the Agency
available to the American. people and to give greater transparency
to our organization, internal control mechanisms, and steps that
we take to ensure compliance with the law, actions consistent with
the values of the American people, and cooperation with Congress.
invite you to include non-Agency individuals in your task force
that is appropriate and useful.
2. I would like to have your report and recommendations by
