CIA agent's maneuvers cover-up off-the-record
By DAN JACOBS
candor Staff Reporter
A CIA agent was caught attempting covert manuevers in UC's
Annie Laws Auditorium Wednesday.
Art H.1nick of the Central Intelligence Agency gave a 45-minute
speech to a group of 200 UC students about the cloak-and-dagger
work done by the CIA, but told reporters that his comments could
not be printed.
"I should point out for any of you who may be from the media,
that what I say is off the record, and I hope you will follow that
rule," Holnick said.
Larry Cable, visiting asCistant professor of history, brought
Holnick to the lecture.
Elaine English, staff attorney at the Reporters' Committee of the
Freedom of Information Center, said Holnick's speech was a public
meeting and therefore subject to press coverage.
An announcement was also sent to the News Record for publica-
tion in the calendar.
Holnick told the group of students everything they wanted to
know. Unfortunately, if everything he said was off the record and
you did not attend his lecture, you would not know he said, "We
believe that the flow of narcotics into this country is financing ter-
rorism around the world."
Nor would you know that Holnick said, "It also seems clear, the
Soviet Union is going to be a more difficult adversary in the future if
Mr. Gorbachev is successful in making the Soviet Union more effi-
cient."
The spy business, said Holnick, is likely to become more difficult
in the future-not easier. "I don't believe that the world of in-
telligence is going to get any easier. I think it's going to get
tougher."
