Mr. Colby:
Professor Blum called this morning and will call you back between
1:00 and 2:00. When he talks with you, he will ask who else at CIA he
should talk to about this -- someone who is thinking over the long range
about the transnational economic crime area -- someone with a reflective
view.

Dear Bill Colby:
LEAA in the Department of Justice has asked me to write a
paler for them, under a planning grant, the purpose of which is
to set forth the ob ectivesfor research and other information-
gatheringandthe priorities forwork in -the transnational crime
arena. My mandate excludes drug traffic and terrorism, for these
areas which are much advanced as far as the level of effort is
concerned. (As a negative corollary, drugs and terrorism are also
areas in which intervention is most difficult, for factors other
than business incentives loom large in such behavior.)
As part of my work, I have been and shall be,,,meetincl with
key figures in those U.S. gvernment_,,,agencies .which either, have
current obligations to gather data about or respond to trans-
national economic crime, or which by virtue of their other ac-
tivities will be knowledgeableTtabout one or another area of trans-
national economic crimjnaol, activ'ity.It is natural then that I
should seek to enjoy your own wisdom and the collective experience
of your staff in designating what future governmental and collab-
orative international activities are most in order.
I shall be in Washington October 28 through November 1 and
