MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: Meeting with Dr. Brzezinski, 6 August 1980
1. Briefing of Bush prior to China visit. I told Brzezinski Dick
Allen had called me to ask for a briefing for Bush prior to his October 18
trip to China. Brzezinski saw no problem with this, but suggested that
.it be handled at the.NIO level. It should also be confined to developments
in general and our relationship with a. It should not cover any
sensitive intelligence operations.
2. General briefings of the candidates. Brzezinski told me he had
called Reagan and Bush to offer intelligence briefings. Bush was effusive,
but said he would have to defer to Reagan for a decision. Reagan was
cautious. I told Brzezinski that it was interesting that Dick Allen,.
with whom I talked today, had no knowledge of Brzezinski's conversation
with Reagan. Brzezinski thought either the DCI or DDCI should be present
at the briefings. Their purpose should be to inform the candidates about
developments overseas, but they should not get into intelligence sources
25X1
and methods.
