Dear Jim,
As I told the Secretary and the Deputy Secretary this morning,
in light of the continuing changes in the concept we agreed to support
in the original Memorandum of Understanding on DoD HUMINT, I am not
prepared to make any representations or notifications to the Hill
until we have established a common understanding as to the scope and
control of what is to be done. I do not see that it takes a staff of
twenty or any great planning effort to determine what is desirable
and how it needs to be coordinated. As far as we're concerned, I want
that to be determined by senior officials and not some special staff
dug up for such an important purpose.
I am sending you a copy of my letter to the Deputy Secretary.
John McMahon, John Stein, Clair George, and all of us are pre-
pared to sit down and talk this out any time you are ready.
Yours,
/l gaIftf :~
Liam J. Casey
