Seen in Foreign Service Periodical

Mr. Spiers did not return telephone
calls Wednesday. A State Department
press officer, Bruce Ammerman, said.
"The State Department has no com-
ment at this time."
Government officals reported that
the State Department had sent an
agent to the office of Stephen R. Du-
jack, editor of the Foreign Service
Journal, who also took the picture. ?
WASHINGTON, March 4 ? A picture
on the cover of the current issue of The
Foreign Service Journal shows a read-
able copy of one of the Government's
most sensitive intelligence documents,
according to Government officials.
The Foreign Service Journal, pub-
lished for members of the Foreign
Service, is generally available to the
public and has a circulation of 10,000.
The document, a copy of the National
Intelligence Daily, which is produced
by the Central Intelligence Agency in
traceable, numbered copies exclu-
sively for the President and a small
circle of others with top-secret clear-
ance, was photographed on the desk of
Ronald I. Spiers, the Under Secretary
of State for Management. Mr. Spiers
was the subject of the article referred
to on the magazine's cover.
The C.I.A. intelligence summary,
which reports the latest intelligence
evaluations by the agency, was open to
two pages, apparently about the situa-
tion in Lebanan.
Numerals Clearly Visible
A map of Lebanon was partly
blocked by Mr. Spiers's left hand. He
had some hand-written notes partly
shielding the print on the facing page,
but clearly visible at the bottom of the
page was the number 121.
Some text as well as codes, also at
the bottom of the page, were not legible
with normal magnifying equipment,
but a Congressional aide with a back-
ground in intelligence said, "Based on
my time in the business, this is the kind
of thing you could blow up and clarify
what the final thing is with not even
very sophisticated equipment."
The aide continued, "This is a major
breach of security."
An aide to Senator Jesse Helms of
North Carolina, the ranking Republi-
can on the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, said, "Anybody else in the
Government who did this would have
been fired if this had happened to
them."
Photographer Still Has Slides
The agent asked Mr. Dujack whether
he would consider giving up the slides.
Mr. Dujack, according to a Govern-
ment official, responded the he %Ito*
refer the matter to counsel but that he
doubted he would accede, citing free-
dom of the press guaranteed under the
First Amendment.
Mr. Dujack still has the slides, a Gov-
ernment official said. Reached at home
tonight, Mr. Dujack refused to coqi-
ment.
The Foreign Service Journal is tot
an official Government publicadoti. It
is published by the American Fbreign
Service Association, a labor union and
professional association for foreign
service employees at the State Depart-
ment.
Mr. Spiers is responsible for biganiz-
ing the personnel and financial re-
sources needed to conduct foreign poli-
cy. '
Photographs of the National Intelli-
gence Daily have appeared 'at rare
times in the past in the gene;?al press
but never so clearly, according to intel-
ligence officials.
In the interview with the Foreign
Service Journal, Mr. Spiers criticized
Congressional staff members for
trying to manage the State Depart-
ment closely.
"Too much authority is sucked up-
wards, there are too many seventh-
floor people, and the seventh-floor
staffs are too big," he said. The Secre-
tary of State and other top officials in
the agency occupy offices on the sev-
enth floor.
