Justice, Justice Shalt Thou Pursue
On behalf of the Commission on Social Action of the Union of
American Hebrew Congregations and Central Conference of American
Rabbis, as well as myself, I want to congratulate you on your appoin-
tment as the Director of the CIA.
We would be greatly honored if you could address our next meeting
of the Commission being held here in Washington on Jan. 16 and 17.
The Commission, consisting of nearly one hundred of the lay and rabbinic
leaders of our movement, will be addressing the problems which America
and the Jewish people will be facing during this next session of
Congress. Our program begins at 1:00 P.M. on Sunday and continues
until 5:00 P.M. on Monday. We can set the meeting place and time at
your convenience. If you would prefer to meet at some office conven-
ient for you on Monday that would be fine. Otherwise we would be
delighted to have you join us at the Religious Action Center on either
day.
Best wishes for a good and healthy 1977 for you and your family.
Your area of responsibility is one with which we, as all Americans,
are deeply concerned. The precisely balanced tensions between constit-
utional liberties and protections and the valid intelligence efforts
of our governmnet require just those kinds of political and moral
priorities the American people preceive you bring to this position.
If it will be possible for you to meet with us on those dates,
my office will be glad to work out the details when the appropriate
staff person contacts us.

Dear Sir:
I am writing a book to be published by Richard Rosens
Press in 1977 on unusual careers. I wish to include the career
of a CIA Agent. I have received your recruiting literature and
carefully read through it. However, what I need is an example
to bring the essay home to the reader. Perhaps you could
share with me a historical example (from the not to distant
past) about the work of an agent that had some dramatic result.
Of course, I realize that much of the work is research, study
and infarmation gathering but readers of this work have been
exposed to the many spy movies on television and in the movies
and I would like to present a more realistic picture.
I also would appreciate some black and white glossy
photographs to illustrate this career. If security prevents
pictures of people on the job, then pictures of the CIA
building or unusual non-classified equipment used would
help.
I do appreciate your help.
Sincerely,
Alice Fins
