Bush vows CIA aid against terrorists By Alan Cline CIA Director George Bush pledges continuing help to Ameri- ca's friends who are combating terrorists. "We have a very important role in furnishing information to policy makers and friends on the activities of terrorists. It is almost our Number 1 priority," Bush said. In a speech before a large Commonwealth Club luncheon au- dience, Bush carefully stayed away from specifics both in his prepared text and in a question-answer peri- od. He said he was in San Francis- co to explain how the CIA works and why it's necessary. Bush, a former Texas congress- man, ambassador to the United Nations and America's first liaison, to Red China, defended, the policy of keeping intelligence budgets secret from the public, and he insisted that appropriate congres- sional committees get that budget- ary information in infinitesimal detail. I ,~ j of ze Time, 't 'fear NAY'S BIGGEST COMED ! HIT OF THE DECADE Vol . He complained of "excessive publicity" about CIA activities. Asked how to deal with jour- nalistic CIA exposes, Bush said some way should be found to tighten up on security abuses, but that he opposes official secrets legislation. He said "some damage" has been done through publication of CIA data because sources at home and abroad have held back on information, but the situation was manageable.

HERSON, Quarterly Chairman LUNDBORG CALLS FOR MORE BUSINESS INVOLVEMENT IN U.S. NATIONAL POLICY FRIDAY FLASHES - JULY 9th From Address by LOUIS B. LUNDBORG Chairman of the Board, Retired, Bank of America "Within the past two weeks, two events have taken place that had no apparept.re- lation to each other; and yet' taken' to- gether they can have very great meaning and significance to all of us. Two weeks ago, here in this room, you made the an- nual presentation of literature awards- awards to writers for excellence in each of the several major fields bf ' writing. Than at the beginning of this week came our Fourth of July, that formally symbol- ized our bicentennial. Why do I mention these two events in the same breath? Be- cause they are more related than might appear on the surface. Irving Sitone, when he addressed you -here two weeks ago, made a claim for the importance of books that I know some of you might dispute. But there can be little dispute as to the part that writing of all kinds has played, not only in our own revolution, but in the other major revolutions and major political eruptions throughout history. Both the written and the spoken word have played their part but even the spoken word was given its greatest impact as it was recorded and passed along. We find the power of the written word most dramatically demon- strated after the invention of the printing press made it possible for that word to reach into every corner of a country and to be debated and preserved. In the French Revolution the writings of ""Itous- seau and Voltaire helped to prepare the (Consinaed on next pate) Approved For Release 2005/01/11 : CIA-RDP88-01315R000200220025-5 ~groved For Release J %5/Q8~/M1 : CIIA-RDP8{8-01315R000200220025-5 "Profits"-Symbol of Chasm Between Public & Business LUNDBORG (Continued from preceding page] minds of the French people for revolt. Even another field of writing-the opera- played a potent part. 'The Marriage of Figaro' by Beaumarchais, performed in Paris in 1784, was witty and entertaining but it was a biting indictment of the French monarchy. Power of the Word There is little doubt but that the writ- ings of Tom Paine helped to crystallize the thinking of the American colonists that it was time to overthrow the oppressive rule of George the Third, just as Harriet Beecher Stowe's "Uncle Tom's Cabin" rallied and crystallized the determination of the northern states to abolish slavery. In modern times, the writings of Marx, Lenin, Trotsky and even Tolstoy paved the way for the Russian Revolution just as the writings of Hitler and Mussolini be- came the rationale for their moves to seize power. In the area of peaceful political change, the political pro;ram that we call the New Deal certainly changed the character of American life and as far ahead as we can see, changed it forever. But what may not be so clear is that the New Deal was not born full grown in 1933. Its seeds were planted, even before the turn of the cen- tury, in the writings of Ida Tarbell and Lincoln Steffens and in the later novels of Frank Norris, Theodore Dreiser, Upton Sinclair and Sinclair Lewis, Even after it was launched as the New Deal, it was fur ther shaped and influenced by the writ ings of John Steinbeck. There were two things at least that made our American Revolution different from most of the others. Revolutionary Fervor The first difference was that in our American Revolution the writings of thoughtful people, people of influence. did not stop with the overthrow of the existing government. Typically in so man} other revolutions, intellectuals set the stage, rallied the revolutionary fervor and fever of the people, but then when the revolution had been successful, direct ac- tionists took over as they did in France and as they did in Russia. Those who might have given thoughtful, philosophi- cal guidance and content to the shaping up of what followed the revolution were pushed into the shadows. In our revolution the thinking and the thoughtful writing went on long after the revolt to help shape the structure, content and spirit of the government itself. The second difference was that in the other major revolutions, most of the writ- ings came from men who either were pro- fessional writers or were professional seekers after political power. Here, while it is true that Thomas Paine was a pro- fessional writer and pamphleteer, most of (C.ndnsed on Bert pag ) The Commonwealth Published every Monday by the Commonwealth Club of California 881 Market Street San Francisco, California 94105 (416) 362-4903 Editor: Durward S.

LUNDDORG (Continued from preceding page) the others who contributed to the think- ing and shaping of our national begin- nings were men of affairs; .they were farmers, merchants, lawyers, who just hap- pened also to be scholars and used their powers of scholarship and letters to pro- vide one of the most remarkable philo- sophical foundations that any society and its government have ever had. Now we find ourselves in a year that is both a bicentennial year and a national election year. This should be a -truly his- toric year. There are forces at work in the world such that, if historians are able to look back a thousand years from now, I think they will see the period in which we are living as one of the major land- mark or turning-point periods in history, So in this combination bicentennial and election year we should expect to be wit- nessing the Great Debate on the issues of the day. But where is it? Certainly not coming from the candidates. We might hope that after the party conventions of the next few weeks the emerging nom- inees would begin to debate and discuss issues and principles and policies on a level worthy of the office. But there are signs. that even then, in the final heat of the race, it may continue to be just a pop- (Continued on next pace!

Imagine the fate of the western world resting on the question of which candidate has the most charisma' Candidates We Deserve in any case, it is not my purpose here Ioday to scold, berate or to bemoan our candidates. It has been my observation that throughout history we have seen the kind of candidates that we have deserved, by the quality of our own involvement in the process. If we have colorless, unexcit- ing candidates who do not seem to stand out as the kind of leaders we would like to admire and follow, it is because our involvement in the political process has been half-hearted and colorless. Whether measured by the numbers of eligible roters who turn out to vote, or by the amount of active door-bell-ringing pre- cinct work or almost any other index ex- cept one, we have gone steadily downhill Exception to the Rule The one exception is money. We often criticize bureaucrats and others who, as we say, try to solve social problems by throwing money at them; and yet that is just what most of us have been doing with our priceless heritage of the fran- chise, the right to vote. We just throw money at it. What has been the principal ingredient of the legislative proposals for election reform since Watergate? Control over money spending. And that is about all that has been at issue, when elections have been contests not between flesh-and- blood people expressing beliefs and con- victions, but between media campaigns. The reversal of this whole trend is ;t large and many-faceted undertaking, therefore, I want to address myself today to just one segment of the solution. Henry Cabot Lodge once said, 'The businessman dealing with a large political question is really a painful sight.' But it need not always be that way. At the found- ing of our country and through the shap- ing of our basic structure, men of business plaved a dominant role. At times, it is true, some of those men tried to influence the action in ways that would have given excessive protection to wealth and prop- erty over considerations of personal lih ertics and human rights; but when they did, it was other businessmen who led the vnunter pressures. For more than a century after that. corporate and other business leaders re- mained active in politics. :Abandoned Issues The businessman might back a candi- date for office or try to defeat a piece of legislation, however, the issues involving the quest for effective political philoso- phies, the search for social justice, the pursuit of the common good, the ever con- stant hunt for broadly effective ,,overr.- ment had largely been abandoned. Since the 1930s, businessmen have not :oven been so actively involved. The heavy attacks and tongue-lashings by Franklin D. Roosevelt sent many of them under cover. It became popular to say that it was the kiss of death for a candidate to he openly endorsed by leaders of business. When businessmen finally decided to return, some took the money route and few took the route of personal invol c- ment. Late to Act Meanwhile, businessmen and women continue to express themselves on legis- lation; but usually to little effect. They have joined in too late or they have come in on the wrong part of the issue. For example, employers were not much in evidence in the long years when the status of women and of racial minorities was being discussed as a social and eco- nomic problem. Yet when the Equal Op- portunity Employment Act was proposed. and when regulations later were issued to enforce it, then employers were vocal. Air and water pollution had been pos- ing some real hazards to human health, as well as to quality of life generally, for years before anything was done about it. Again, business was silent until the En- vironmental Protection Act was proposed and enacted.

LUNDBORG (Continued from preceding page) There were new kinds of hazards grow- ing in industry with very little discussion by employers until OSHA was proposed. Now we hear all kinds of weeping about the difficulties of compliance. In the matter of cities, some real sins have been committed in the name of so- called Urban Renewal. I do not fault my business friends for blowing the whistle on much of the wastefulness and ineffec- tiveness of many of those programs; but the blight of the cities had been growing and festering for years without much evi- dence that business was really concerned about the problem at all, let alone about the human aspects of it. .Businessmen agonize and wring their hands over what they call economic illit- eracy. They ask `Why don't they teach economics the way it ought to be taught?' 'Why don't they teach the meaning of profits?' Disenchantment with Business What they are really bemoaning is that nobody seems to love- them.. The..polls. show a growing disenchantment with busi- ness in virtually every segment of the public. `Profits' seems to be the word that both sides use to symbolize the chasm be- tween them. I suspect, however, that both sides miss the point of what it really is that is sep- arating the public and business. It is not profits as such; it is the feeling that busi- npss does not care about anything but profits; that business has no care or con- cern' for any of the problems that loom so large in other people's minds. It is not an entirely fair accusation, but it is under- standable. If your friend talks about nothing but baseball, could you be blamed for thinking that was all he ever had on his mind? If businessmen never talk about anything but business, or if when they do speak of minority employment, air pollu- tion or poverty, speak of it only in the language of a CPA analyzing a corporate balance sheet, who is to know that they are aware that somewhere, behind those statistical problems that he discusses in such coldly mechanical terms, is a human being with human emotions, struggling with the fruits of human frustration? If our businessman would stop talking like a computer printout or a page from the corporate annual report, other people would stop thinking he had a cash regis- ter for a heart. The reason he talks that way, I suspect, is two-fold. In part it is because the pres- sures of managing a business is today's complex world are so great that he has let his life become so preoccupied and dominated by business considerations that it is the only language he ever hears. That is only part of the reason. Corporate Macho Image The other is that there has developed a sort of corporate macho image. It says in effect, that any showing of tenderness or compassion is a weakness. The ultimate expression of this ritual has been that the businessman who spoke out for policies and programs of concern was labeled a 'bleeding heart.' Of course, this is utter nonsense. Only the very strong are genuinely tender and compassionate. I am glad to see signs that this is being recognized in some of the corporate programs that have developed out of the recent focus on corporate social responsibility. You will note that I do not say that the business leader's attitude or input into the dialogue should prevail or dominate; nor do I see any chance that it would, unless all the other players in the game suddenly decided to abdicate and forfeit the game. Business and professional leaders should gain only as much power as they earn by their own exercise of persuasion and lead- ership. Powerful Legislation And so it was that in the early days of our democracy that every issue was de- bated and decisions hammered out after every shade of opposition was fully ex- pressed. Lately we have had some sweep- ing pieces of legislation adopted without even the members of Congress reading them, let alone the citizens affected by them. That is not the way to preserve a free society. There is a plain and simple reason why it is in society's interest to get the corporate executive involved in the dia- logue concerning our country's direction: (Continued an next page) Approved For Release 2005/01/11 : CIA-RDP88-01315R000200220025-5 Aooroved For Release 2005 COMM:NIA-RDP88-01315R000200220025-5 Quality of Life: "Guiding Goal for National Policy" f.UNDBORG (Continued from preceding page) not only is the business corporation the productive engine that now supplies the American population with most of all the things it consumes and uses in its daily life; but it also supplies most of the jobs. American life today is at least heavily influenced, if not dominated, by the ex- istence and operation of the business corporation. Great Debate The people who direct those character- istic American institutions at least can be in a position to supply something that is needed in the Great Debate that must come. Each one learns something about the stream of human effort as well as the stream of physical material that flows through his plant. That knowledge should be shared with the knowledge and atti- tudes of those who view the human scene through other kinds of ?lasses. I said at the outset that it is not too late. It is late, but it is never too late if our leaders of business will recognize this as one of their major management respon- sibilities, to which they should budget and allocate an adequate amount of time. I am suggesting that businessmen and women become personally involved first of all, whenever possible, directly and face-to-face in those councils where the issues are being discussed; and secondly. in public expressions that come directly from themselves, not from a speech writer who puts new words in his boss' mouth. Our leaders of business should do it be- cause it is right, because they have some- thing to offer and something to gain. Break the Silence Because our men of business have re- mained so long silent on matters of politi- cal philosophy, there is a real danger that if they now begin to break that silence, they will again seem only defensive and querulous. It is a danger, yes; but like many dangers in life, not a reason for do- ing nothing. It is a danger that should be a warning to them not to be merely defensive or querulous, but to show some concern for the problems, purposes and aspirations of others. And of course. the real need involves not just businessmen or public officials but all of us. We all need to face the fact that we need to sharpen and re-focus our sense of values, especially on some of the non-material values. There needs to be much broader consensus on quality of life as the guiding goal of national policy, in which production and consumption of things may be important but secondary. As a banker I would hardly be the one to blow the whistle on material comforts or material progress. But our country was not founded on purely economic or purely material goals. They were part of it, to be sure. The people who fled from poverty in Europe did see a land of economic op- portunity here, but most of them fled from something else, too, that is, from oppres- sion and threats to their liberties. They saw here an opportunity to live full lives, to grow spiritually as well as materially. The essence of that is implicit in every line of our founding documents-the Dec- laration and the Constitution. If that were not so, we would never have had the solid foundation we have nor the history that has been built on it. Difficulty for Democracy Mathew Arnold, more than a century ago, wrote something that is as true to- day as it was when he wrote it. He said 'The difficulty for democracy is, how to find and keep high ideals. Nations are not truly great solely because the individuals composing them are numerous, free, and active: but they are great when these numbers, this freedom, and this activity are employed in the service of an ideal higher than that of an ordinary man, taken by himself'." (JMR) %nswers to Written Questions from Floor Q: Does TV cu-ilt now override importance of both written and spoken word? A: Yes. There is a tendency to oversimplify and skim the top. This is one of our current problems-the way to combat it is for peo- ple to involve themselves on a deeper level Q: Where find proper media when mass media. TV, radio and newspapers are so shallow in matter of government and eco nomics?

A: Default: too many failed to exercise our own franchise by not becoming involved. We have a lack of discipline for not paying for what we get. It's lack of discipline and default. Q: If U.S. relaxes on education and ag- gressive business policies, where will we be in competitive world in another 25 years or more? A: We are now entering a period where we realize we do have a limited sup- ply of raw materials. There is going to be a new kind of competition and scramble that calls for a new kind of relationship between the people, nations and industries of the world. There must be responsibility in use of raw materials. Q: Business held in low repute among substantial segment of voters and public, Can spoken word be used to overcome this? How? A: Yes it can be used to overcome it when spoken word reflects a true concern and is an expression of real involvement In the problems and is not just a bandying about of words. Cosmetic use of spoken word will not restore business to level of esteem it has had in our history. Words alone won't do it. Must express a real con- cern and active Involvement. Q: Your opinion of current terrorists or revolutionaries trying to force change by destroying property? A: Do not give In to them-giving in to all forms of blackmail Is folly. No one should be bullied into si- lence. Q: Your advice to young man entering banking world hoping to rise to position of great Importance? A: No easy answer. Three things: do your own job superbly 'Well; learn your boss' job; learn the goals and purposes of the entire business to help organization meet its goals. One ingredient is energy well directed-,always moving toward the goal. Management should leave a considerable amount of time available on public service, public relations etc. All time should not be spent on money making ac- tivities. Q: Can there be a future without shock? A: Be prepared so you won't be shocked.
