EXTENSION OF REMARKS

HHON. ROBERT W. KASTENMEIER
or WISCONSIN
Tuesday, October 12, 1965
Mr. KASTENMEIER, Mr. Speaker,'
my hometown daily newspaper, the,
Watertown, Wis., Daily Times, last week
carried an editorial dealing with the CIA''
report that it was the target of the Rus-
sian CIA counterpart, the KGB. The
Times is to be complimented for this edi-
torial which admirably speaks for itself.
,Without further comment, I commend
it to you for your consideration.
THAT CIA Rr.PoHT
Maybe It Is true, as the Central Intelli-
genco Agency complains in a report being
circulated among it few Members of Con-
grc n, that the Soviet Union has mounted a
propaganda campaign against the CIA and
also the Federal bureau of Investigation,'
One might go so far as to say that probably
It Is true. What could be more natural than
for Moscow to try to damage U.S. Intelli-
gence agencies In every possible way?
'Maybe It Is true, indeed very likely It is
true, that CIA Intelligence has come up with
the right dope-that the objective of this 1
relentless campaign headed by the KGB, 1
P.ussia's State Security Service, "is to achieve
the destruction, breakup and neutralization
of CIA." In the present world climate, with
open hostility between our country and
I3ursia the order of the day. It would be most t
surprising if the KGB were not thus engaged.
Doubtless the CIA has a tow counterirons
In the fire.
Tints it strikes ua that maybe something
else Is true. Maybe the Central Intelligence
.Agency's purpose In circulating this "secret"'
report,-which has been so conveniently
leaked to the press-is not solely to inform
,a few Members of Congress. Maybe the CIA
also seeks to undermine and discredit
Americans who have been so bold as to sug-
gest that the CIA has on occasion behaved
clumsily abroad and has played an unwar-
ranted role in foreign policy manipulations,
The Bay of Pigs fiasco and the recently dis-
closed effort to bribe a high Malaysian public
oalcial are only a couple of numerous cases.
In point.
Maybe it is true that the CIA is using this.
'report, which in itself Is quite plausible, to
diacourago creation of the joint congressional
i'.'watchdog" committee to often proposed.
Perhaps the CIA has provided one more goal '
reason E1- tot , establishing justsuch ,, .p
