UPI restates
spy policy
UPI's policy forbids the volunteering
of information or working for the CIA,
FBI or any other governmental intelli-
gence or law enforcement agency.
"We recognize that reporters and
photographers are in frequent contact
with the agencies' personnel and on oc-
casion swap basic information, a com-
mon practice when several people who
specialize in gathering facts witness an
event," H.L. Stevenson, editor-in-chief,
said.
A restatement of this policy is going to
all UPI employees with the reminder that
any attempt to enlist them in surrepti-
tious gathering of information should be
refused, he said.
