MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, Executive Planning Division
SUBJECT : Organization of Former Employees of CIA
REFERENCE : Executive Director -Comptroller's Memo,
dated 3 September 1971, Subject: Item for
Deputies Meeting Agenda
1. In reference to the Executive Director-Comptroller's
memorandum of 3 September 1971, attached are comments by
the Chief and Deputy Chief /Employee Activity Branch /Personnel
Security Division. I agree that as it is now proposed, I would
oppose CIA sponsorship of this organization.
2. There are security problems involved in this proposal
which to me are much more important than those which attach to
the preparation of a Director of Members.
3. The proposal should be reworked to provide for the
elimination of security concern as distinguished from the selection
of ways to handle security problems.
4. One step should be to eliminate all procedures for (and
concern over) the screening of applicants for membership. I can-
not visualize a screening program in the association which would
not require a check with CIA itself or the use by one of the
association officials of information which he acquired while in the
service of CIA. This should be an unfortunate and otherwise
forbidden personal use of officially acquired information.
5. A second step would require the Agency to deal with the
association on a completely unclassified basis. The Agency should

not furnish classified information to the association. (The proposal
includes the recommendation that the "SECRET" study itself be
furnished to the organizing committee.
6. A third step would require reworking the idea to provide
for the possibility that non-friendly or unfriendly persons could
obtain high positions in the association. We just don't know all the
people that well, and people and their attitudes do change.
