MEMORANDUM FOR
THE SECRETARY OF STATE
THE SECRETARY OF TREASURY
THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
THE DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE
SUBJECT: Report of the Commission on Central Intelligence
Activities Within the United States
On January 4, 1975, I established a Commission on Central
Intelligence Activities Within the United States to determine whether
any domestic activities of the CIA exceeded the Agency's statutory
authority. The Commission has completed its work and has submitted
a report which contains a number of recommendations for changes
in the framework within which U. S, intelligence activities are
conducted. I have reviewed the report and believe that it establishes
a sound basis for addressing structural and other possible weaknesses
in the operation of the CIA and other intelligence bodies..
It is vital to the national security and foreign policy of the United
States that we preserve and strengthen our intelligence institutions
and capabilities. It is equally important that all government
intelligence activities strictly observe constitutional guarantees
against the violation of individual civil liberties. Within this context,
I request that you review the report and provide me your comments
on the report and its recommendations as soon as possible.
