Penetration has not yet been effectuated of the House on f Street former selective service system Headquarters two blocks West of the White House now taken Over by an elite corps from Cia seeking to take Over entire . Intelligence  certain assumptions can be made 1. President Carter like All his predecessors is determined to have Best Possi ble intelligence gathering and evaluations to help him avoid foreign policy blunders. 2. To obtain that he desires to centralize operations budgeting and planning authority under one Czar Pardon express Ion whom he personally trusts. 3. Such a centralized organization would be designed to reduce internal intelligence arguments and diminish the number of people with Access to strategic information thus reducing danger of leaks. 4. To reassure people that this tighten ing up will not Lead to  he will make much propaganda about uncovering past Cia mistakes and laying Down guide lines for Protection of rights of persons co operating with Kab Washington. In answer to your specific questions Comrade president1. I Why will Carter s generals permit him to remove the capacity for military intelligence Iron de Erae department although removal of budgetary and planning control of defense intelligence Agency and National Security Agency from the defense department has been opposed publicly by defense Secretary brawn expected fury has been moderated by Ai old boy military network proposal of Carter Annapolis classmate Admiral Stansfield Turner to be Boss of All Intelli gence Bosses cools Down Pentagon which expects him to be named chairman of joint chiefs of staff in couple of years. Pointedly he did not resign naval commission. B anti old boy network. Officials at Asa who had been irritated with Ford White House counsel Philip Buchen for Cut Ting extent of electronic surveillance of resident aliens As Well As other non Cia intelligence units want the director of Central intelligence removed from Basic Job As head of Cia. On the theory that with Roy Elkins out the Long term bureaucratic backup of a Large Agency the Sci s Power can be nibbled away. 2. Viol evidence easts for our centralization Assumption a pattern of previous behaviour. In reorganizing the Energy program Carter chose to centralize Power in one Man the Hawk Schlesinger. Disrespectful wags Here say Brezhnev likes the title of presi Dent. Carter likes the title of  by abolition of  the presi Dent s foreign intelligence advisory Board was the Only group of citizens Capa ble of questioning intelligence estimates and taking challenges direct to president it once even arranged Tor an academic group s alternative to the official strategic estimate embarrassing some at Cia. On my. Turner s advice Pfab was recently abolished drawing tighter the Circle of Access to the president. Reason Why Little editorial objection was raised is a confusion of function of Pfab of improving evaluation and of the new intelligence oversight Board of checking on abuses. Most people think Pfab failed to limit abuses which it was never in business to do and that the smaller Irb will now question intelligence analysis which it is not in business to do. Analysts who disagree with do Czar will soon have no Way to get to president.3. Why will americans after the water Gate and Cia investigations hold still for the concent rational intelligence Power a americans today Are More concerned about the Cia s doing wrong than the Cia s being wrong like generals fight ing the past War senators limit their Over sight to methods rather than conclusions to operatives rather than product. By Carter is exploiting this preoccupation with the past. His Justice department indicted an Fri official for too zealous intelligence work knowing the Man is bound to be acquitted. And the inclination not to prosecute the Cia cases has been replaced by a new Zeal to Nail Richard Helms prosecution of past abuses is a perfect cover for promotion of present centralization making tightened Security procedures and a More isolated president seem to be part of  All of us Here in Kab Washington from the station chief driving ambassador Dobrynin s car to the agents in place across the Street from the House on f Archt those the same about pc we w5rb so Street Send you Heartiest congratulations on your Assumption of the soviet presidency along with the suggestion that you use your new authority to wrest control of military intelligence from the fled army bureaucracy and concentrate it under the personally Loyal chief of the Kab who always has your Best interest sat heart.
