D. Thomas Miller, President
March 29, 1977
Certain remarks were made concerning the C.I.A. by Daniel
Ellsberg during a segment of the DINAH! program broadcast
on March 22, 1977 over the facilities of CBS Television
Stations WCBS-TV in New York at approximately 4 p.m., WBBM-TV
in Chicago at approximately 3:30 p.m., WCAU-TV in Philadelphia
at approximately 4:30 p.m., KMOX-TV in St. Louis at approxi-
mately 4:00 p.m., and KNXT in Los Angeles at approximately
6:30 P.M. We enclose a transcript of such remarks and the
-surrounding context for your convenient reference. _
In these circumstances we believe that it is appropriate to
offer a representative of the C.I.A. the opportunity to appear
on DINAH! in order to have the C.I.A.'s response to the remarks
of Mr. Ellsberg transmitted over the facilities of such CBS
Television Stations. We have been advised by Winchester, Ltd.,
the producers of DINAH!, that they are willing for such a re-
presentative to make an appearance on DINAH! in order to re-
pond to such remarks.
If the C.I.A. wishes to avail itself of this opportunity,
please get in touch with me without delay so that we and re-
presentatives of Winchester, Ltd. can discuss with you the
length, content, and scheduling of the C.I.A.'s proposed
response.

Director of the C.I.A.
