Mr. John 0. Marsh
Counsel to the President
The White House
Washington, D. C. 20500
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee has requested that
we review for declassification the executive session testimony of
31 .May 1960 of Mr. Dulles on the Summit Conference of May 1960
and the Gary Powers U-2 flight. The declassification was initially
requested by a graduate student. Normally, the Corm-nittee decl.assi:fie i
their executive session testimony after twelve years.
The review within CIA concluded that the transcripts can be
released unedited and without sanitization. The following excerpts,
however, should be brought to your attention:
25X1 D
There are also references to countries providing landing rights
as well as Department of State responsibilities. This may very well
create a reaction jeopardizing existing intelligence agreements with
foreign countries. (We understand that the transcripts are also being
referred to Defense and State. )
Perhaps of greater concern to the White House is Senator
Fulbright's questioning of President Eisenhower's judgment in taking
responsibility for the Powers flight.
We would appreciate your comments soonest.
