This is in response to your letter to the Director, dated 5 April 1978,
requesting comments on the galley proof page listing CIA's overall mission
and other information for inclusion in the Congressional Resource Guide

be substituted for the listing in the galley proof. The enclosure also
reflects corrective changes under the headings "Drug abuse and control
effort," "Category," "Organizational history," and "OBLIGATIONS BY

I trust that our changes are acceptable and the information concerning
CIA will appear in the published Guide as set forth in the enclosure.
Sincerely,
Frank C. Carlucci
