What moves me to take the floor, Mr. , the distinguished chairman of the Armed
President, is a letter printed in the July Services Committee. I am more than a
sent to the editor by Richard Helms, the
Director of the Central Intelligence
Agency. The letter reads as follows:
I want to let you know of my pleasure In
reading the editorial 'Brickbats. for FuL-
"printing the news Impartially, supporting
what it believes to be right and opposing
.what It believes to be wrong without regard
to party politics."
WASHINGTON, D.C.
It may well be that Mr. Helms had
so`tlieone on his staff check all the-papers
and-.write an approving letter to anyone
who-- had written an editorial which he
thought was favorable to the Central In-
telligence Agency.. But I suggest that it
was entirely out of place for him to have
done that, in any case, and particularly
to sign his name to a letter regarding an
editorial which charges the Senator from
Arkansas with being "crafty," and which
attempts to tell us what we should take
up or should not take up in the Senate,
and to explain the meaning of the de-
this agency, we were told that the CIA
does not involve Itself in domestic pol-
itics. I suggest that this is a new depar-
ture. If we permit the Director of that
agency to take this action unchallenged
by the Senate, it may well be that in
every campaign hereafter, people will
turn up with letters from the Central
mutual understanding of what the Sen-.~,
ators were trying to achieve.
May I say further, the question of the
CIA being Involved in foreign policy is a
pertinent one. No one has ever made
'the allegation, that I am aware of, that
the CIA makes foreign policy. It has
been alleged, and I think correctly, that ?
the CIA is involved in foreign policy;
and by the very nature of its operation,
it cannot help but be involved in that
particular field of the affairs of the Oov-
ernment of the United States.
But the debate was worthwhile. It
helped to clear the air. I had hoped
that the muter had been settled as a.
,
result of the closed session held by the
Senate; but unfortunately, letters like
this by the director are bound to keep
the matter simmering, and will create
even more problems in the years ahead.

one comment? I think it is especially
significant that during the course of the +
debate, no administration position was
taken opposed to the Senate considering
the matter; and no one said, "The
President wants this resolution debated."
As far as we knew, it was the business of
the Senate Itself.
But here we find, after the act, the Di-
rector of the Central Intelligence Agen-.
cy-who supposedly is an agent of the
President; that is what we were told here.

inaccurate, opinion about the Senator
from Arkansas.
I think this is a matter which must be
brought to the attention of Mr. Helms, so
that this will not become a habit with
him. I would hope that he would take
cognizance of what is occurring on the
floor this afternoon.
Incidentally, I was under the impres-
sion that Mr. Helms was considered to
have the potential to develop into one of
the best administrators of the CIA in its
history. It is my understanding that he

reputation I for one was delighted when
he was 'appointed. As I recall, he
received the unanimous support of the
Senate, and.not one word of criticism
was raised insofar as his appointment
was concerned.'
The distinguished Senator from Min-
nesota is to be commended for calling
this matter to- the -attention of the
Senate, and I hope that all Senators,
regardless of party or of their stand on
the Issue which was debated last week,
will bear this In mind.
Incidentally, I wish to point out that
today there appears in the CONGRESSIONAL
RECORD a sanitized version of the pro-
ceedings held in the closed-door session
of the Senate at the time this matter
was discussed. Certainly there were no
allegations of the kind contained In the

Mr. MANSFIELD, It left it to the.

ings or party affiliations, would take
cognizance of what has taken place.
Incidentally, the purpose was never to
downgrade the CIA, but the purpose was, .
in effect, to safeguard it, and to maintain,
its security inasmuch as possible; and,
that thesis was carried out fully and com-
pletely during the course of the debate
itself.
