Action: : A senior member of OBI plans to discuss
the problem with officials (witting) of the
University and concert with them on how to handle
any repercussions of an untoward disclosure.
(There is no question of a cover story; it is a
case of offering to assist the University with
facts should they feel the need.)

4. On academic consultants, I have made the following
ateement
In general, we should bear in mind that the
Agency has something more important to many able
young professors than money for external research
contracts. It has information, a great deal of
which in unclassified. Automation will separate
unclassified information from classified in a way
we cannot now afford to do in response to requests
from scholars. We should plan and experiment
cautiously with ways and means of sharing our
reputedly unique store of information with accept-
able members of the new generation in the universi-
ties who will associate themselves with us on a WAE
basis. (Wee have a China specialist in hand on this
basis--and in prospect a political scientist doing
work on elites in Eastern Europe and Latin America,
similar to Biographic Register's ADP project on
Soviet elite.)
5. I made the following statement on the conduct of
DDI employees active In the academic community as students
or teachers:
All DDI personnel who teach (part-time) at
locaT universities are now under instruction to
inform the university's administration of Agency
affiliation. In relations with their students,
DDI teachers are instructed to be forthcoming about
their Agency affiliation if questioned.
There is no reason why any full-time or part-
time DDI student should use or need cover. As far
as can be determined, no DDI students are using
cover other than "U.S. Government," and when this
is used the student known that he should respond
"CIA" to further questioning. In order to make
sure that there is no, mieund erstanding of Agency
policy in this regard, a Directorate Notice will
be issued.
