Looking at much of the discussion
regarding the CIA and the FBI9 it seems
to me, as a journalist, that a great deal
of attention has been paid to the counter-
measures taken by these two organizations
but not nearly enough has been said about
the threat they were seeking to combat.
In my judgment, the news media has,
generally, paid far more attention to the
various allegations against the FBI and
the CIA, than they have to the various
enemies of America these two groups were
seeking to combat.
All of this is a way of officially
asking you if you can release to me a sanitized
version of James Angleton's closed door testi-
mony before the Senate Intelligence Committee.
I was talking today with Mr. Angleton
and he indicated there was quite a lot in what
he had to say that would bring some perspective
to the subject of why the CIA did some of the things
it did.--He said he believed there is much in
his testimony that can be released without
causing any harm.
Thank you for your attention to my request.
I hope you'll give it serious consideration.
Sincerely,
John Lofton, Jr.

Honorable John L. McClellan, Chairman
Committee on Appropriations
United States Senate
Washington, D. C. 20510
Dear Mr. Chairman:
This is in response to your letter of 29 April concerning a
permanent cadre plan for personnel of the Intelligence Community
Staff. You raised several points which concern you and they are
addressed in this letter.
First, let me assure you that the IC Staff does not consider
the currently approved strengths to be only temporary. We are
presently working to restructure the Staff to accommodate the re-
duction of personnel effected during the Joint Conference on the
:FY 77 Supplemental A ropriation. While we recognize that the
current ceiling of positions is final, we are seeking to develop
the most appropriate internal arrangement in order to make maximum
use of our limited number. The attached breakdown of our T/0
reflects the current personnel staffing levels in each of our major
program areas that we envision to be the proper allocation of
personnel within the =ceiling. We currently have n people on
board but they are the wrong mix for what we must accomplish.
Therefore, we are trying to find a way to reduce some of the dis-
parate functions which the IC Staff has been given, particularly in
the DCI Committee arena, in order to increase our substantive
expertise in the key areas of budgeting, planning, and evaluation.
This has not proven to be an easy task and, most of all, it is a
time consuming process.
Regarding your concern as to the appropriate balance between
permanent cadre and rotational personnel, it is our plan to achieve
a large permanent IC Staff cadre based on percent of the
civilian professionals tl-qss DCI Committee support and military
personnel) within our T/0 level. This means that we would ha
a permanent cadre of c ian professionals ranging from
personnel. This number of permanent civilian professionals would

function In all the principal categories of the IC Staff substantive
areas. Thus, the hard-core of the Staff which focuses its attention
on the primary functions for the Community in planning, budgeting
and evaluation, would be represented at all different levels of
responsibility.from Office Head to Intelligence Analyst. By leaving
at my command the authority to adjust that number and the positions
they will fill, depending upon the specific needs and personnel
available at any given time, I will have the flexibility to move
personnel (both permanent cadre and rotational) to take advantage of
their skills and talents and to meet high priority tasks as they
occur. Without that flexibility the Staff could become locked into
a rigid configuration that would leave it ill-equipped to address the
diverse range of problems with which we are constantly faced.
In closing T wish to give you my personal assurance that our
staffing structure will provide for innovative input which rotational
military officers and civilians can bring to the Staff and, at the
same time, have a hard-core permanent cadre which will provide conti-
nuity, balance and orderly succession. Again, I would urge that you
consider favorably our request for an increase in personnel positions
in FY 78 so that we will have sufficient numbers to cope with'the
large responsibilities of resource management, planning, and program
evaluation for the Intelligence Community for which the IC Staff has
been charged.
Respectfully,
/s/, Stans ieid, Turner

I am in receipt of your..letter.dated April 28 which
responded-to certain Conference Committee direction regarding the
Intelligence Community Staff. Regretfully, I do not consider that
this response fully meets the requirements established-in,t_he
Conference report.
Initially, I note that the specifically requested
organizational plan'for E:::~ositions was not submitted. This is
necessary both to demonstrate how the Staff would be effectively
structured at that level, as well as to assess relative capabilities
at that number versus the requested level of =positions. While STAT
the matter is certainly not closed, I believe it would be imprudent
to assume that currently approved strengths are only temporary.

of their'task. I also do not know that I am in total agreement.with
the concept that permanent personnel should constitute a pool-from
which appointments to vacant positions would be made.
On the matter of appropriate balance within this level
between. permanent and rotational personnel, the nature of your
recommendation is not entirely clear, particularly with respect to
ultimate goals and progress toward them. In this regard,. I tend to
be guided by the examale of military officer rotations, wherein the
innovative leadership which new officers bring to a relatively few
key positions would be to little avail were it not for the larger

they are clarified, would meet with disapproval. This Committee has
always been supportive of the Intelligence Community and its efforts
and clearly recognizes the need for-flexibility in-carrying out your
responsibilities as Director. The Committee, however, must also meet
its responsibilities for ensuring that resources are appropriated in
the most effective'manner and believes that the requested information
and subsequent dialog are necessary toward that end.

Honorable Daniel K. Inouye, Chairman
Select Committee on Intelligence

Dear Mr. Chairman
In the Conference Report addressing the Intelligence
Community Staff supplemental request for 1977, the Director was
requested to submit to t "use and Senate Committees on Appro-
priations a plan for the positions approved by the supple-
mental, and to establish rmanent cadre as soon as practicable.
The President of the United States before forwarding the IC
Staff budget request to Congress raised similar questions regard-
ing the proper balance between permanent cadre and personnel assigned
to the IC Staff on a rotational tour from the various component agen-
cies of the Intelligence Communit At that time the President
approved an IC Staff plan to have percent of its civilian pro-
fessionals, excluding support personnel and those assigned to the DCI
committees, as permanent cadre by 30 September 1978.
I subscribe to the desirability of a permanent cadre to pro-
vide the continuity desirable in the Staff. I do not, however,
believe in a Staff totally composed of permanent cadre employees.
To establish an organization of that nature would strip the IC Staff
of one of its essential features, and that is the vital and current
knowledge and expertise that personnel on a two- to three-year
rotation from intelligence organizations of the Community can bring
to the Staff.
The rotation of personnel not only offers an ease of connuni-
cations, especially informal, which aid in my management and
coordination of Community matters, but it also generates a genuine
expression of contribution and participation by the individual agen-
cies in the Community as a whole. Such a commitment by the Community
organizations is necessary for a well-balanced, cooperative national
intelligence effort.

As far as identifying specific positions which would be ear-,
marked for permanent cadre, versus rotational personnel, I feel
that any position on the Staff at any level would be available for
assignment to either a permanent member or a professional intelli-
gence officer on rotation. The criteria for selection should simply
be the best person qualified at the time.
As you know, there is consideration of legislation to desig-,
nate the Deputy to the DCI for the Intelligence Community as a
statutory position, in which case the Staff would be headed by a
Presidential'appointee with the advice and consent of the Senate.
The Associate Deputy would serve at the pleasure of the DCI.
I have directed that the IC Staff commence this summer to
hire personnel in a permanent cadre status as has been directed by
the President. As a target, I would look for ercent of
the civilian professionals, excluding the DCI committees and support
personnel, to be permanent cadre by 30 September 1978. I urge that
Congress not force a specific number since at any point in time the,
cadre versus rotational personnel may fluctuate slightly. I ask
that Congress leave at my command the authority to adjust that number
depending upon the specific needs and personnel available for the
Staff at any given time. I should be the individual held responsible
to Congress for ensuring the proper management as well as the inde-
pendence of the Intelligence Community Staff. I welcome your support
in providing the flexibility I need to carry out the mission of the
Staff as best I see fit.

Attached as requested by the Conference Report are the amounts
that will be required in 1978 to-maintain staffing and contractual

positions that I need.

As far as identifying specific positions which would be ear-
marked for permanent cadre, versus rotational personnel, I feel
that any position on the Staff at any level would be available for
assignment to either a permanent member or a professional intelli-
gence officer on rotation. The criteria for selection should simply
be the best person qualified at the time.
As you know, there is consideration of legislation to designate
the Deputy to the DCI for the Intelligence Community as a statutory
position, in which case the Staff would be headed by a Presidential
appointee with the advice and consent of the Senate. The Associate
Deputy would serve at the pleasure of the DCI.
I have directed that the IC Staff commence this summer to
hire personnel in a permanent cadre status as has been directed by
the President. As a target, I would look for percent of STAT
the civilian professionals, excluding the DCI commi ees and support
personnel, to be permanent cadre by 30 September 1978. I urge that
Congress not force a specific number since at any point in time the
cadre versus rotational personnel may fluctuate slightly. I ask
that Congress leave at my command the authority to adjust that number
depending upon the specific needs and personnel available for the
Staff at any given time. I should be the individual held responsible
to Congress for ensuring the proper management as well as the inde-
pendence of the Intelligence Community Staff. I welcome your support
in providing the flexibility I need to carry out the mission of the
Staff as best I see fit.
Attached as requested by the Conference Report are the amounts
that will be required in 1978 to maintain staffing and contractual
activity comparable to the approved 1977 level. I ask, however,
your assistance and urge that you look favorably upon the IC Staff
FY 1978 budget submission for the F -]positions that I need.
Respectfully,
Stane.field. Turner
