SUBJECT: Meeting Today at 4:30 re Sources & Methods Protection
1. I have asked for a meeting at 4:30 today to talk about two things:
a. A review of the pros and cons and methods of sanitizing and
making the intelligence product more widely available for public diplomacy
and general public education purposes. PFIAB is taking a look at this and
Bob Gates has done some preparatory work.
b. How we might follow up to press a revitalized effort to strengthen
sources and methods protection. I attach notes from a presentation I made
to the Armed Services Policy Council this morning and which I will make to
the White House, State and NSC staffs during the week. Also attached is a
memo on the reaction of the Pentagon today.
2. Subsequent to dictation of that memo, I had a call from Henry Catto,
Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs, asking for a briefing
for his entire public affairs staff and raising a question as to whether it
would be desirable to provide some kind of a briefing on the importance of
this subject and the stakes s involved to the Pentagon press
corps. In that connection, has an opportunity to talk to a
press group shortly, in whic a mignt ake a shot at this.
3. To help in your deliberations, I also attach a talk which I made
to a group of journalists at the Georgetown Institute Af Foreign Service.
