MEMORANDUM FOR: Mr. Herbert E. Hetu
Special Assistant (Public Rffairs to the DCI)
FROM:
Acting Director, Policy Guidance Office
SUBJECT: Input to the DCI's Annual Report (U)
1. Q Preparation of the DCI's Annual Report for calendar year 1978,
due to the President and the Congress by 25 January 1979, is now under way.
The DCI has approved a concept for this year's Annual Report which is more
selective than last year's, both because this seems more appropriate'to a
1978 characterized by attention to key intelligence issues rather than the
comprehensive report approach used for 1977 as a year of extensive community
restructuring, and also to limit length for a busy reader to a manageable
30-40 pages (last year's ran 80 plus). The DCI has also approved an outline
for this year's report (Attachment 1). Part I is designed to allow the DCI
to highlight the particular characteristics and emphases of 1978 in intelli-
gence; Part II is intended to air several issues of great importance to him,
his key Executive users, and the Congress.
2. W The two sections of the outline on which your thoughts would be
particul helpful are public perceptions and attitudes regarding intelli-
gence (I.G.) and leaks (topic 2. under Security and Counterintelligence Issues).
Specifically:
a. Do you identify any noteworthy shifts of emphasis in 1978 in
media or other public attitudes toward intelligence? What has
characterized 1978 in the Outreach Program, the DCI's own public
appearances and interviews, in academic relations, in the volume and type
of unclassified intelligence studies made publicly available, and in
experience in protecting the credibility of intelligence through
attention to the context in which intelligence work on sensitive policy
areas is made publicly available?
b. With respect to classified intelligence information leaking
into the media, how would you characterize the volume, subject matter,
seriousness and causes of such leaks in 1978? Overview comment with
some examples would be helpful.

3. Additionally, in a 15 September 1978 letter to the DCI on his
Annual Report generally, Chairman Boland of the HPSCI identified six topics
of special interest to the Committee (Attachment 3). Our discussion with
the Committee staff indicates that they mean the sixth of these, on
unauthorized disclosure of classified information, to include leaks. We
have asked the DCI Security Committee and the Community Security Group to
organize a response to this request. Your records may well be organized
to retrieve data on media leaks aspects of this topic that would be useful
in preparation of the response.
4? is responsible for producing
this year s UU1 nnua Report. ease identity a principal point of contact
for her to work with. We shall need all the overview comments for outline
sections E.2. and G. by COB 6 November, in order to accomplish integrated
drafting of the entire Annual Report in November, review in December, and DCI
clearance and production in January.

Honorable Stansfield Turner
Director of Central Intelligence
Washington, D.C. 20505
Dear Admiral Turner:
This is in further reference to your letters of March 1
and April 12, 1978 suggesting that.the annual reports to be
submitted to this Committee concerning intelligence and
intelligence-related activities should be consolidated into
one report. The structure of the Annual Report which you
submit to the President could then be changed to respond
to the requirements of reports requested by this Committee.
After careful consideration, the Committee agrees that
it would be useful and more efficient for you to continue
reportinrj on the activities of those organizations and
programs which are part of the National Foreign Intelligence
Program, while leaving to the Department of Defense the
responsibility to prepare an additional report on intelligence--
related activities, as well as other appropriate comments
regarding intelligence activities.
In addition, the Committee recommends more detailed
treatment of the intelligence activities of the Department
of State and Federal Bureau of Investigation in your next
report.
The format used in the 1977 Annual Report is acceptable
for 1978 provided the additional information specified in
the attachment is included or otherwise appended.,
With respect to the Committee's request for an unclassi-
fied version of your report, the Conuni.ttec recocJnizc:s it
may he necessary to use a different approach and proposes
to leave its arrangement to your judgment.
 ~'.dnnroved For Release 7006,(11/17 ? (`I?_RDD81MonaPoPnniPnn010038_i 2
The Committee Lecruests your assistance in providing
the Annual Report prior to January 25, 1979.
