CHICAGO SUN TIMES LUNCHEON
Tuesday, 6 May 1980
Points to Make
1. Trend to core charter - best thing that could happen
* Institutionalizes oversight which is working well - both Congress
and Admin point of view.
* Must focus on authorities (positive approach) vice abuses (negative)
Abuses - effective oversight in place - destructive to keep reliving
Authorities - must focus on how help IC do job
US persons - already well protected - Surveillance Act -
Attorney General approvals, etc.
2. Must stem leaks - destructive in both short and long term
* FOIA - only limited exemption
*? ? Identities - -yhois h lpf revealed? Why enem'es?
3. Future direction of IC energies 'va
* Anti-terrorism
* Anti-drug trafficking
* Population
* Food
* More subtle social indicators
If questions-come up on the following subjects, recommend following answers:
1. Use of Journalists
* Every effort made not to use but
* Journalists are Americans first
* No law will convince foreigners that press not working for government
because in most nations that is the case.
* Agree, the less said in public the better - let's drop

3. Quality of Intell
* Excellent - consumers satisfied
* No journalist in position to judge
* No one below main consumer in position to judge, so you should
use extreme care before draw conclusions based on comments
of an analyst, NSC'er, Congress staffer. Only seeing part.
