Central Intelligence Agency
`6 JAN 1989
The Vice President
The White House
Washington, D.C. 20500
Reference is made to correspondence dated 19 October
1987 from Mr. R. Marc Nuttle, Campaign Director, Americans for
Robertson for President Committee, and my response dated
29 October 1987, copies of which were provided for your
information. This correspondence related to a forged
memorandum, the substance of which was to orchestrate a "dirty
tricks" campaign against Mr. Robertson.
In connection with this matter, we have been advised by
the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) that an individual
has confessed to impersonating an officer of the Central
Intelligence Agency (CIA). This individual, who met with staff
members of the Americans for Robertson Committee, and another
person associated with him, have admitted that they have no
current or past association with the CIA. Our records bear
this out. The motivation of these individuals is unknown to us
at this time.
The FBI has advised that the case will be presented shortly
to an Assistant United States Attorney for a decision regarding
criminal prosecution. This Agency appreciates the efforts of
the FBI agents in bringing this matter to a speedy resolution
and stands ready to cooperate in any subsequent legal
proceedings.
Sincerely yours,
William H. Webster
Director of Central Intelligence
