The original of the attached letter from
Elizabeth Bell expressing her concern over allegations
by Drew Pearson of CIA ties by Peace Corps Director
Blatchford was routed to me for handling.
I returned it to the NSC Secretariat, expressing
the view that it will be far better to have either
Mr. Blatchford or someone on the White House Staff to
respond to this letter rather than the CIA. Therefore,
I am sending this along purely for information purposes.
As you undoubtedly saw, Mr. Blatchford denied
Pearson's allegations and Pearson subsequently issued
a retraction.
