An Open letter to President Ryan
arid the W. Achninistration:
We, concerned I.U. students, will be at
Bryan F-Iall at 3 p.m. Wednesday, March 10, to
talk with President Ryan or a. representative of
the I.U. Administration. We wish to discuss the
immediate discontinuation and full public
disclosure of all administrative complicity with
the Central Intelligence Agency.
Despite the fact that only a small fraction
of C.I.A. atrocities has been released to the
public, the C.I.A. has been proved to be a
criminal organization.. The C.I.A. admits to
plotting the murder of at least four foreign
political figures who were later killed (Patrice
Lum;tntha of the Congo, General Scheider of
Chile, Trujillo of Santo Domingo, Diets of
South Vietnam),as well as to making numerous
attempts on the if of Fidel Castro. The C.I.A.
overthrew nationalist governments in
Guatemala and Iran in the early 1950s. They
engineered the bloody 1973 coup ip Chile,
which replaced the democratically elected
government with the present repressive military
regime which has tortured and killed thousands.
The C.I.A. killed thousands of Vietnamese in its
"Operation Phoenix."AMost recently, the C.I.A.
has supplied arms and personnel to. fuel the civil
t
war in Angola.
Recent disclosures have shown that over
the past two decades the C.I.A. has engaged in {
illegal disruption and surveillance of domestic
political groups in the United States.
`Operation Chaos"" included spy action against
___students and faculty throughout the country
who opposed the war in Indochina. According
to George Taliaferro. s ia] assistant_~to
President Ryan, in alt interview with Fun City
nays a r there is at least one C.f A. operative

C.I.A. activities are not in the interests of
students ' or of Americans in general.
Nevertheless, Mr. Taliaferro and I h raeio Lewis,
Dean of Latino Affairs, represented the J.U..
Administration at a conference in %V.ishin ton;r;
D.C., .October 23-2-1, 1975, which discussed
C.I.A. recruitment. of Black and other minority-
students. Such recruitment is designed to
improve the .C.I.A.'s justifiably horrible image
and undoubtedly to provide personnel for the
infiltration of Black and Latino oroganizations
in this country. When asked about this act of
complicity., in the criminal operations of the
C.I.A.;-Paul Klinse, assistant to President Ryan, -
told Fuir City; newspaper that `it was a very
good. cause."" Does Klinse consider Operation
Chaos a good cause? What about' the murder of
Patrice Lumumba and of countless thousands
of others -- is this a good cause?
The C.I.A. will be-interviewing at.1%laxwelf.,
Hall March 10-12. This is part of a new drive by.-,.
the C.I.A. to recruit on campus to facilitate
their criminal acts. You are granting them the
use of facilities to dothis. We do not believe'
that this is in our interests as 1.0. students. We
demand that your complicity with the C.I.A.
end. We. demand that you' stake pub]ic.all
University files concerning C.I.A. operations.
We - will' be *at Bryan Hall Wednesday at 3 p.m.
