Guidelines.
ureed for.
recruiters.
By Randy Keith
Stanford and other universities
should adopt guidelines governing
faculty relationships with the CIA,
according to Morton Halperin, a
former assistant to Henry Kissinger. ;
Halperin said Stanford, or any uni-
versity with a large number offoreig'n
students, is almost assured of having
a secret CIA recruiting agent on ?1
campus.
"They have a second identity
.which is genuinely' secret," said..)
Halperin, "and they are told to look
out for ?certairf' kinds' of people.".-
Soviet and Iranian students are likely
targets for these recruiters, he said.
Halperin said the CIA "assets" on
campuses are often professors who
receive orders fora network of secret
stations located throughout the Un-
ited ited States. "They function as if they
were overseas, complete with secret
coded cable traffic back to Langley,
Va. (CIA headquarters)."
The recruiter scouts for targets,
and then makes an invitational pitch
or introduces the target to another
agent, using "an approach so subtle
that those who turned it down are
later not sure of what 'they turned
Halperin said a foreign student
from a country such as Iran, which
exchanges information with the CIA,
is put in aparticularlydangerouspos-
ition if,he refuses to join the CIA.
Since the CIA is constantly trying
to penetrate other friendly intelli-
gence agencies, an Iranian who re-
fuses to serve the CIA may have his
file turned over to SAVAK (the Ira-
nian equivalent to the CIA) to show
that the United States is willing to
exchange information, Halperin ad-
ded.
The ClA file would be of interest to
SAVAK because it would show that
the Iranian "has some reason to be
disloyal to the Shah," according to
Halperin. .
. Another possibility is that the CIA
may make the "pitch" after being
asked by SAVAK to test the student's
loyalty to the Shah. "If you accept
and go back to spy for the CIA you
may return to a rather unfriendly re-
ception," said Halperin.
According to Halperin, if Congress
passed legislation curbing the power
of the CIA to recruit secretly on cam-
puses, foreign students would be
more "free of fear that a CIA
agent might be in the classroom mak-
ing a file," on every comment the
student makes.
Halperin resigned his post in the
? Nixon administration in protest of
the invasion of Cambodia in 1970. He
was one of 17 people secretly'"
wiretapped by that administration
after a news leak in May 1969 ex-
posed massive secret U.S. bombing
of Cambodia. ?
He is now director of the Center
for National Security Studies in
Washington, D.C., an organization i
which is working on constraints of
CIA activities.
