MEMORMDUM FOR: Associate Deputy Director for intelligence
SUBJECT Comments on congressional Proposal
1. OCI does not have important consultant/contract
relationships or "spotters," or exchanges that would be
lost or seriously jeopardized by the proposed legislation.
However, we do have good alumni relations in the academic
community, at the National War College, other service schools,
and various other places. We do not get hard returns from
these contacts, but they do open the way for some public
relations activities--lectures, panels, seminars, etc.--at
places where it is important that Agency talent and experi-
ence should be recognized. We have had good success from
these contacts and it would be altogether unfortunate if
they were cut off.
2. The proposed legislation might also be aimed at
limiting social contacts; this kind of restriction would be
an. embarrassment and also highly unpopular.
