Dear Judge Webster:
Initially, I would like to take this opportunity
again to congratulate you on your confirmation as
Director and express my confidence in and support for
your task ahead.
As part of that function, I am writing to you
concerning a written request I made on May 7th, to you,
in your former capacity as Director of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation. I am attaching a copy of that
letter for your review, since Deputy Assistant Director
Dan Hadway has recently informed my staff that the FBI
is not authorized to disclose the CIA document referred
to in my previous letter. As a result, I am requesting
that the Agency provide the Subcommittee with that
document, as referenced in the attached letter.
I would appreciate your earliest attention to this
matter as well as your support for the Subcommittee's
review of the important issue of defector handling. At
this time, I would also like to extend to you the
opportunity to discuss this matter at our hearings now
planned for early Fall. In addition, I would also
appreciate a further briefing for my staff on the
reforms that the Agency has initiated in defector
handling, as well as any recommendations that your
agency can offer for Congressional assistance. Your
staff can contact John F. Sopko, Deputy Chief Counsel of
the Subcommittee, who has been working on this issue for
me.

the continued spirit of cooperation and trust that
stands as one of the lasting contributions of your
tenure as Director of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation.

ELEANOILI J. HILL CHOP COUNSEL
DANIEL E. AINZIL CHIEF COUNSEL TO THE MINOISTV
As you are aware, the Permanent Subcommittee on
Investigations is conducting an in-depth review of the
Government's handling of Soviet and East-Bloc defectors. In that
capacity, Deputy Chief Counsel John F. Sopko recently arranged an
interview through your Congressional Liaison office with Deputy
Assistant Director Thomas E. DuHadway on February 3, 1987.
Mr. Sopko, of my staff, has informed me that the interview
with Mr. DuHadway was very informative and that both he and
Special Agent Schenck of your Congressional Liaison staff were
most helpful.
During the course of that interview, reference was made to
the existence of a classified "secret" document that is relevant
to the Subcommittee's investigation. I would therefore
appreciate your providing a copy of this document "e titled: "fig
U.S. Defector Program, DCID 4/1 -- effective 28 Js 84," to our
Subcommittee for its use in its current investigation of the
government's defector program. The document will be maintained
in a secured container as has been the practice of the
Subcommittee since its inception. Access to such a document will
be limited to only those staff who are properly cleared and have
a need to review the material contained therein.
Your earliest consideration of this matter would be greatly
appreciated. The Subcommittee staff has discussed the substance
of this request with Deputy Assistant Director DuHadway and
Special Agent Schenck. Deputy Chief Counsel John F. Sopko can
answer any questions concerning this matter at 224-3721.
Sincerely,
71
