Show The Paper That Dares To Take A Stand THE SCOTT REPORT country. UNSOLVED INTELLIGENCE PROBLEM By ed Paul Scon Washington: President Fords intelligence reform measures leave one of his Administrations most sensitive intelligence problems untouched. This is the secrecy surrounding Secretary of State Henry Kissingers dealings with foreign leaders and ttye information that he personally obtains during these meetings. high-lev- el th As Presidents chief negotiator apd foreign policy ad- viser, Kissinger has flatly refused to share with jthe intelligence community the information he gathers during his numerous secret dealings with foreign leaders including those with Russian and Chinese Communist leaders. This touchy problem was in the suppressed highlighted report of the Select House Inves- ?' - W' I tigating Committee headed by Representative Otis Pike (D. N.Y.), which studied the activities of the Central Intelligence Agency and the handling of intelligence at the White House level. The illustration cited by the Pike Committee dealt with the complaints of top intelligence officials that Kissinger kept them in the dark as to the content of secret talks he had with Soviet and Arab officials shortly before and during war. Their the 1973 Arab-Israe- li report is as follows: There was testimony that Dr. Kissingers secrecy may also have thwarted effective intelligence analysis. Kissinger had been in close contact with both the Soviets and the Arabs throughout the prewar period. He, presumably, was in a unique position to pick up indications of Arab dissatisfaction with diplomatic talks, and signs of Soviet belief that war would soon break out. When the committee was denied his request for high-levreports, it was unable to learn whether Kissinger elicited the information in any usabel form. It is clear, however, the Secretary passed no such warning to the intelligence comever-increasi- ng el munity. The Committee was told by high U.S. intelligence officials and policy-makethat information from high-lev- el diplomatic contacts is of great intelligence value as le indicator of both an capabilities and intentions. Despite the obvious usefulness of the information. Dr, Kissinger has continued to deny intelligence officials access to notes of these talks rs often-reliab- 3 i i 3 with foreign leaders. CURRENT THE ! The unanswered PROBLEM is how big an issue will be question made of this Kissinger refusal to cooperate by George Bush, the new director of the Central Intelligence Agency and the Presidents handpicked man to oversee the reorganization of the intelligence community.

In the past, we have learned more about Kissingers dealing with Soviet leaders from information we covertly obtain from other foreign communist sources and intercepts than from the Secretary of State." None of the CIA Directors have felt in a strong enough position within the Ford Administration in the past to make the Kissinger secrecy an issue that the President would have to resolve. While former CIA Director William Colby has called the Kissinger problem to the attention of President Ford, he backed away from any confrontation with Kissinger after receiving hints from White House aides that the President didn't want to get involved. Because of Director Bushs close personal ties with President Ford, top level intelligence officials believe he would receive a favorable reaction from the President if he raises the issue directly. Bushs decision in pressing the go a long way in determining whether he gained the full trust of the professional intelligence officials whose dedication is needed to make the intelligence community work. Note. Charles Colson, one of President Nixons trusted White House, reports Nixon had planned to fire Kissinger during his second term but that the Watergate scandal forced a change in his plans. Colson says Nixon told him of his intentions in a long, private White House conversation.

Am I With the exception of the President and one or two of his own hand-pickaides at the State Department, Kissinger has talked to no one on what he learned in the Kremlin meeting about Soviet leaders' future intentions on how they plan to use Cuban military forces. . In their private talks with Director Bush, these intelligence experts have stressed that any impressions that Kissinger may have gathered from the Soviet leaders on the Angola operation would be highly valuable to them in assessing future Russian and Cuban moves. As one top CIA official put it: For reasons Kissinger will not reveal, he refuses to furnish us any details of his conversations with Soviet leaders.

We have for a long" while been quietly moving away from a posture in the world in which we chose freedom, and saw ourselves as its natural ally and defender. But this was at first a barely perceptible process of disengagement.. More recently, there has been a sudden and definitive shift. It has been rather like, a great sailing ship coming about. The boom, hauled and tugged, moves slowly, resistingly at first, when with an abandoned sweep it hurtles across the keel line. The ship lurches, settles, and then, as if there had never been another direction, moves forward on the opposite tack. Those who were tugging knew what to expect, even if they may have doubted for a moment their ultimate success. Those who ducked are still on deck. They have not been replaced.
