having the Select Committee on Intelligence write a new

delineation of the Community's charter by means of
legislation or Executive Order. Would you then also
state the current position of the Community and then
state what you think I should say if interrogated on
this subject.
2. I hear more and more about a possible lawsuit against
Mr. Helms. Would you please give m the ac grown on
