MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence
Deputy Director of Central Intelligence
FROM : Henry S. Rowen
Chairman, National Intelligence Council
SUBJECT : My JEC Testimony
1. Regarding my JEC Testimony, Proxmire's staff director apologizes for
the press release which has already been distributed, says that the lead is
intended to be Proxmire's statement not a quote from mine, and that they will
make this clear.
2. I told him that the impression created by the press release was very
misleading and that this was bad business especially right after Rep. Reuss'
distorted statement on the earlier CIA publication on the Soviet economy. He
said that they would encourage the press to read my testimony which was short
and readable.
3. I didn't say that we might put out a statement of our own depending
on the press treatment of my testimony. If we decide to, a copy of what
Public Affairs might say is attached.
