MEMORANDUM FOR: Special Assistant
Director of Central Intelligence
FROM:
SUBJECT: Executive Order 12065
Can you prepare a talk drawing on the language of what I had to
say about the Freedom of Information Act in the talk to the Republicans
Abroad and the talk to the Thirteenth Annual Symposium sponsored by the
Center for the Study of the Presidency, and on the cost of screening
classified documents. We will spend $21 million by 1988 in order to
screen 30% of the documents which the existing Executive Order requires
to be reviewed, and then classify only 2% which will be of little or
no interest to the public. Use my testimony and the material prepared
for the meeting with the publishers to develop how onerous compliance
is, as well as damaging to a mission, and how little it produces for
the media and how unreliably it informs the public.
See if you can pull this together for use in working for exemption
under the Freedom of Information Act.
William J. Casey
