The attached clipping from the Washington Star of 12 May
is self-explanatory. You will recollect that'the Committee staff
requested us to give them a copy of the Yale University study at
the time that the President commented on it in issuing his security
order and I rejected their request. In the course of a formal in-
vestigation into the entire security problem, however, and par-
ticularly any investigation into the best methods for protecting
military information without depriving the public of information
they should have, the Committee may renew their request for
release of the Yale study, as well as information as to how CIA
handles the problem of public information.
