MEMORANDUM FOR:
FROM:
SUBJECT: Leaks
After Labor Day we will have to address the leak problem and I would
appreciate your getting up to speed so you can provide advice.
I am sending you copies of two talks I made--one to the American Society
of Newspaper Editors and the other to the American Jewish Committee. Also
attached is an interview I gave to the WASHINGTON JOURNALISM REVIEW.
I'd appreciate your critiquing a draft on intelligence and the media
which was put together here for a comprehensive article which the WASHINGTONIAN
has agreed to publish. I think it is important as a basis for a campaign
to interest the Congress in this issue in the next session. We should get
this kind of information out during the fall months. I find this draft
falling in the tone and not quite as good as that of my two talks on this
subject. I do think this statement needs to be longer and stronger. Still,
it can use some reorganization and editorial polish.
Also attached are a letter that George Lauder wrote to USA TODAY, a
roundup of the issue in a NATIONAL JOURNAL article, and a copy of an op-ed
piece by Ben Bradlee in the WASHINGTON POST.
