Dear Mr. Sanders:
,ifC 7y0 753
Enclosed are the five galley pages from your Historical series
.which you forwarded for CIA review on 6 July.
We concur with the deletions which the State Department
suggested for galley we would not want anything less 25X1
deleted- he off-the-record discussion following the deletion on 25X1
As indicated by the State
Department reviewer, paragraphs 1.3(a)(4) and (a)(5) of Executive
Order 12356 are the justification for the deletions.
. For the three galleys concerning testimony on Cuba by the
Actenrw' R n; -e-+-r,- of Plans, on 2 May 1961, your galley numbers
discussion removed from all three galleys. However, we
understand the Committee's reluctance to take an action
equivalent to reclassifying information already released to the
in the original testimony in 1979, and that these documents thus
sanitized were available to scholars at the-National Archives and
were even microfilmed by University Publications. Our Operations
management would still definitely prefer the full paragraph under
we realize that the Agency had made deletions
public. So we will not press the issue on galleys
However, on galley L___]we are unable to acquiesce in the
release of the galley as given to us for several reasons. It is
obvious that the reviewer in 1979 erred in allowing the

The Honorable William J. Casey
Director

Washington, D. C. 20505
Dear Mr. Casey:
DD/A Registry
~ 073. q
The Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs will hold a
hearing on September 13, 1983 on National Security Decision
Directive 84, issued by the President last March. At my request,
Senator Mathias will preside at this hearing.
As you know, one of the issues addressed by the President's
directive is a requirement for pre-publication review of certain
writings by former government officials. While we are not asking
your agency to testify, we would be most appreciative if you
could provide the Committee with the following background
information, to assist in our preparation for this hearing:
1. Are there any instances within the past five years in
which former officials of the C.I.A. published classified
materials without securing the permission of the department?
2. If so, please provide a description of the episode
including any communications with the former official and any
damage assessment of the unauthorized disclosure. (If a full
response to this question cannot be made public, please provide
as detailed a response as possible, and indicate whether a more
complete answer will be provided in a classified annex.)
3. Please describe the current procedures for dealing with
publications by former offipials. For example, have such
officials voluntarily submitted manuscripts which contain
information which they believe may be classified? Does the
G.I.A. monitor the publications or speaking engagements for
former officials for compliance with pre-publication review
procedures? How are disputes about deletions of material
resolved? What is the volume and nature of materials which the
department reviews?

4. In your view, are there flaws in the current system which.
prevent it from operating in a satisfactory manner to protect the
national interest? If so, what are those flaws?
5. As a result of the President's directive, have'any
changes in the pre-publication review system been put into
effect? In this connection, I would appreciate receiving drafts
of any proposed contract which officials will be asked to sign
and which provide for pre-publication review, as well as copies
of any documents explaining the meaning of any such draft -
contracts and any documents describing the views of the C.I.A. on
what should be incorporated in such a contract.
If you have any questions concerning these requests, please
have your staff call Link Hoewing of my staff, on 224-4751 or
Steve Metalitz of Senator Mathias' staff at 224-5617.
I would appreciate receiving your response before the end of
this month.
Sincerely,
William V. Roth,. Jr.
Chairman
