The Director.
Central Intelligence Agency
Washington, D. C. 20505
The meeting at Langley was one of the highlights
of our visit. You and your colleagues were
candid and forthcoming and helped further our
understanding of the American intelligence
mission. It was enormously helpful to our
European guests in getting a better understand-
ing of the United States, which I think is
essential in the furtherance of our overall
policy;
Many thanks for spending so much time with us.
Incidentally, that chance meeting with you
outside the Capitol was another high point
in. our trip.!

Soviet reconnaissance bombers

U.S. air defense radar watching their

port.

with the radar apparently failed, the.
sources said.
In the incident four days ago, two
Russian Tu95D bombers hying out of
Cuba- .inspected and apparently
photographed one of the latest U.S.
'destroyers as it was sailing in inter-
national waters off Boston..
The Soviet planes reportedly drop-
ped chaff - metallic strips that can,
interfere with radar beams and thus
foil detection.
Alerted, American air defense offi-
cials sent up four F106 fighter-
interceptors from Atlantic City, N.J.,
and Otis Air Force Base, Mass., as a
precaution. - .
'THE-TU9SD BEARS were inter.
cepted and kept under surveillance
by a Navy P3 antisubmarine patrol
plane out of Bermuda.
"The Bears returned to Havana
after making three asses within
about 1,000 feet of the destroyer Spru4
ante," the sources said.

ested in getting as much information
as possible on the new Spruance.

a major problem for Soviet subma-.
