Mr. Charles L. Heatherly, Director
President's Commission on White
House Fellows
The White House
Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Mr. Heatherly:
ER 84-1805/2
28 June 1984
I understand that you and Chuck Briggs recently had a good session on
your respective interests and concerns about the White House Fellows Program.
Let me echo Chuck's assurances that we fully support the Program and
have held back on accepting Fellows solely because of our unique responsi-
bilities to protect sources and methods and to maintain appropriate
compartmentation. Your suggestion that we consider career military
officers who would be likely to retain security clearances for their
entire careers, however, alleviates our concerns about exposing too many
people over time to classified information. We would therefore be
delighted to interview and
Any Fellow assigned to CIA, including a military officer, would have
to go through our security process which includes polygraph testing. As
you know, this is required for all personnel assigned to CIA.
Best of luck to you with this year's Program.
Sincerely,
Sohn N. McMahon
Deputy Director of Central Intelligence
