Dear Mr. Ora
f .;?5 7
I have received a copy of the revised draft of the Report of
the Baker Panel.
With reference to your request that comments be furnished to
Dr. Baker's Panel, it is my belief that my comments, when rendered,
should incorporate to the greatest extent feasible the views of the
United States Communications Intelligence Board since DSC'S is, by
NSC directive, the governmental body responsible for COMINT policy.
In my capacity as Chairmar- of USCIB and Advisor to the Special
Committee of the National Security Council for COMINT, I believe that
my formal comments should therefore be addressed to the Special
Committee for COMINT. Representatives of this Agency of course
remain available at any time for further consultation with Dr. Baker
and members of his panel should this be his desire.
Sincerely,
