MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director of Central Intelligence
John H. Waller
Inspector General
SUBJECT: Keeping Senate Select Committee on
Intelligence Generally Informed
Regarding Conclusions Reached by
the Inspection Staff
REFERENCE: Attached Informal Note
1. One suggestion as to how to proceed in keeping
"the Committee informed on (IG)findings", as you promised
in your hearings, would be for the IG Staff to provide a
paper for the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, in
early January 1977, giving it the conclusions of our Phase
I DD component surveys.
2. We could subsequently do the same with general
conclusions reached as a result of the more traditional,
in-depth, sub-component inspections -- or at least those
in which the Senate Select Committee expresses an interest.
3. The solution to the problem would seem to be in
the drafting of conclusions in a way suitable for the
Senate without breaching the confidentiality of those who
talk with our inspectors, and without making a precedent
which could inhibit subsequent inspectors from "telling
it like it is".
4. If you agree, for starters; we will try our hand
at paraphrasing the conclusions of Phase I surveys in
January when they are finished. Let's see what they look
like and go on from there.
5. The conclusions from Audit reports of interest
to the Senate should pose minimum problems of sterilization.
