STAT..
THE DIRECTOR OF
CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE
Deputy for National Intelligence 21 October 1977
Dear Mr. Chairman:
The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence
study entitled "U.S. Intelligence Analysis and the
Oil Issue, 1973-1974," which you sent to Admiral
Turner on August 8, provided a valuable stimulus
for our own assessment of our past performance.
-I had several discussions with the author, Anne
Karalekas, and with Bill I Istaff.
As 1told them, I asked -a man
.with a good critical mind and a judicious
temperament-to give me a report on the staff's
criticisms and an appraisal of our performance.
He has now submitted his report to me. It
is a first-rate, thorough job and, I believe,
an objective one. I enclose a copy for. you, and
will send a copy separately to Senator Stevenson.
Sincerely,
Enclosure
The Honorable Daniel K. Inouye, Chairman
Select Committee on Intelligence
United States Senate
Washington, D.C. 20510
