SUBJECT: Correspondence From an Applicant
STAT
1. The Executive Registry recently sent to the Office of Personnel for
action a letter to the DCI from an applicant This memorandum STAT
explains why we do not intend to respond to the letter.
2. The Office of Personnel imposes strict limits on correspondence
with applicants living abroad. It is the Office's policy to mail letters only
to individuals with an APO or FPO address or to those located in any of the
following countries:
Exceptions to this policy are rare and are carefully scrutinized to weigh the
risk both to the applicant and to the Agency.
3. With regard to the letter in question (copy attached), we believe
it would be very unwise to respond, for the following reasons:
-- The letter is openly addressed to the DCI and was posted in
STAT
STAT
-- It is, according to the sender, the second letter mailed to us.
-- The letters could be purely a provocation.
-- If the letters are legitimate, security officials may be STAT
aware of the them and of the sender's identity.
-- Any overt response from the Agency could endan er the sender and
expose the Agency to public attack in~~and elsewhere. STAT
4. We are forwarding the letter to LA Division/DDO for their
information
