We've had good news - bad news
/.
Remido we of Tenris
LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING OF THE MECHANISM THAT HAS
BEEN CREATED BY THE U.S. GOVERNMENT TO GATHER AND PRODUCE
INTELLIGENCE. AS YOU KNOW, IT WAS THE SECOND WORLD WAR --
AND SPECIFICALLY PEARL HARBOR -- WHICH FOCUSED AMERICAN
ATTENTION ON THE NEED NOT JUST FOR INFORMATION, BUT FOR
A UNIFIED, NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE SERVICE. BEFORE THE
WAR, WE HAD WHAT COULD BE CALLED DEPARTMENTAL INTELLIGENCE.
THE WAR DEPARTMENT HAD MILITARY INTELLIGENCE, THE NAVY
DEPARTMENT HAD NAVAL INTELLIGENCE, AND SO ON.
BUT IN TODAY*S TERMINOLOGY, NO ONE WAS "GETTING IT
TOGETHER.' ALL OF THE INFORMATION THAT MIGHT HAVE LED AN
ANALYST TO CONCLUDE THAT JAPAN INTENDED TO ATTACK PEARL
HARBOR WAS AVAILABLE IN WASHINGTON. BUT IT WAS NOT IN
ONE PLACE FOR AN ANALYST TO STUDY; IT WAS INSTEAD IN
SEPARATE BITS AND PIECES CAREFULLY CONTROLLED BY EACH
Photocopy from George Bush Presidential Library
DEPARTMENT.
AFTER THE WAR, IT WAS CLEAR THAT AMERICA REQUIRED
CONTINUING INTELLIGENCE ON DEVELOPMENTS AND TRENDS ABROAD
AND THAT A CENTRAL ORGANIZATION WAS NEEDED TO ENSURE THAT
WE HAD ALL OUR FACTS TOGETHER AND WOULD NEVER AGAIN BE
CAUGHT BY SURPRISE.
2
IN 1947, PRESIDENT TRUMAN SIGNED INTO LAW THE
NATIONAL SECURITY ACT WHICH CREATED THE CENTRAL
INTELLIGENCE AGENCY. THE AGENCY WAS INTENDED TO BE --
AND IS -- THE CENTRAL POINT FOR PRODUCING NATIONAL
INTELLIGENCE, THAT IS, INTELLIGENCE PRODUCED TO SERVE
NATIONAL POLICYMAKERS AND INTELLIGENCE OF INTEREST TO
MORE THAN ONE DEPARTMENT OR AGENCY.
THE AGENCY WAS NOT INTENDED TO TAKE OVER THE VERY
VALID FUNCTIONS OF THE VARIOUS DEPARTMENTAL INTELLIGENCE
ORGANIZATIONS. THOSE ORGANIZATIONS EXIST TODAY AND ARE
ESSENTIAL PARTS OF THE DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES THEY SERVE.
THE NATIONAL SECURITY ACT ALSO CREATED THE POSITION
OF DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE -- THE DCI. THE DCI
IS THE NATION'S SENIOR FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE OFFICER AND
THE PRESIDENT'S PRINCIPAL ADVISOR ON FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
IT WAS INTENDED THAT THE DCI SHOULD WEAR TWO HATS: ONE
Photocopy from: George Bush Presidential Library
AS DIRECTOR OF THE CIA AND THE OTHER AS HEAD OF THE
INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE.
IN THE EARLIEST DAYS, THE DCI TENDED TO CONCENTRATE ON
HIS ROLE AS HEAD OF THE CIA. BUT OVER THE YEARS, AS THE
PROBLEMS WE FACED ABROAD GREW IN COMPLEXITY, SO, TOO, DID
THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY. PEOPLE AND RESOURCES IN ALL OF
THE VARIOUS PARTS OF THE COMMUNITY INCREASED.
3
IN 1971, THE PRESIDENT INSTRUCTED THE DCI TO TAKE A
MORE ACTIVE ROLE IN COORDINATING THE RESOURCES AND
ACTIVITIES OF THE COMMUNITY. IN THE PAST FIVE YEARS WE
HAVE MADE MAJOR STRIDES IN BUILDING A TRUE INTELLIGENCE
COMMUNITY --- WITH A CAPITAL I AND A CAPITAL C. THE
COMMUNITY NOW CONSISTS OF THE CIA; THE DEFENSE INTELLIGENCE
AGENCY; THE NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY; AND THE INTELLIGENCE
COMPONENTS OF THE MILITARY SERVICES, THE DEPARTMENT OF
STATE, THE FBI, THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT, AND THE ENERGY
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION.
IN FEBRUARY, AS YOU PROBABLY REMEMBER, PRESIDENT
FORD ISSUED AN EXECUTIVE ORDER THAT STRENGTHENED THE DCI'S
ROLE AS THE LEADER OF THE NATION'S INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY.
THAT ORDER ALSO DIRECTED NEW ORGANIZATIONAL ARRANGEMENTS
TO STRENGTHEN THE DCI'S MANAGEMENT OF THE COMMUNITY
SIGNIFICANT
THESE NEW ARRANGEMENTS HAVE MADE SOME VERY IMPORTANT
Photocopy from George Bush Presidential Library
HAVE BEEN MAD
CHANGES AND I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE JUST A MINUTE TO OUTLINE
SOME OF THEM. I TILLNK IT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO
UNDERSTAND THESE RELATIONSHIPS IN ORDER TO SUPPORT THE
MISSION OF YOUR INTELLIGENCE SERVICE AND TO REPOSE TRUST
AND RELIANCE IN THE MANNER IN WHICH WE CONDUCT OURSELVES
AND OUR BUSINESS.
4
A COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE, WHICH I CHAIR,
HAS BEEN CREATED BY THE PRESIDENT. IT CONTROLS BUDGET
PREPARATION AND RESOURCE APPLICATION FOR THE ENTIRE
NATIONAL FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE PROGRAM. IT MANAGES OUR
INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES AND ESTABLISHES POLICY FOR THE
COLLECTION AND PRODUCTION OF NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE.
AN OPERATIONAL ADVISORY GROUP HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED
ad lib
TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE PRESIDENT CONCERNING SPECIAL
INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES IN SUPPORT OF NATIONAL FOREIGN
20
POLICY OBJECTIVES -- THAT IS, COVERT ACTION. THE GROUP
ALSO REVIEWS AND APPROVES SENSITIVE INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION
OPERATIONS, THE MEMBERS OF THIS BOARD INCLUDE THE ASSISTANT
TO THE PRESIDENT FOR NATIONAL SECURITY AFFAIRS, THE
SECRETARIES OF STATE AND DEFENSE, THE CHAIRMAN OF THE JOINT
CHIEFS OF STAFF, AND THE DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE.
IN RESPONSE TO THE INVESTIGATIONS OF U.S. INTELLIGENCE
Photocopy from George Bush Presidential Library
ACTIVITIES CONDUCTED BY THE ROCKEFELLER COMMISSION AND BY
THE SENATE AND HOUSE SELECT COMMITTEES, THE PRESIDENT ALSO
HAS CREATED AN INTELLIGENCE OVERSIGHT BOARD OF THREE PROMINENT
PRIVATE CITIZENS. THIS BOARD RECEIVES AND CONSIDERS REPORTS
BY THE INSPECTORS GENERAL AND GENERAL COUNSELS OF THE
INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY CONCERNING ANY ACTIVITIES THAT RAISE
QUESTIONS OF LEGALITY OR PROPRIETY. IT IS THE BOARD'S
RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THAT THE ATTORNEY GENERAL AND THE
PRESIDENT ARE PROPERLY ADVISED.
impressional oversight

IN ORDER TO ENABLE ME TO DEVOTE MORE ATTENTION TO
FORMULATING AND CARRYING OUT POLICIES FOR THE COMMUNITY,
THE PRESIDENT ALSO HAS DIRECTED THAT I HAVE TWO DEPUTIES.
ONE IS RESPONSIBLE TO ME FOR THE DAY-TO-DAY OPERATION OF
THE CIA AND THE OTHER IS RESPONSIBLE TO ME FOR ACCOMPLISHING
MY ROLE AS HEAD OF THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY. LEGISLATION
TO ESTABLISH THESE POSITIONS WILL BE INTRODUCED IN THE NEAR
FUTURE.
HAVING GIVEN YOU THE OUTLINE OF THE INTELLIGENCE
COMMUNITY AND OF ITS CONTROL MECHANISM, LET ME SPEAK VERY
BRIEFLY ABOUT THE SPECIFIC ROLE OF THE CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE
AGENCY. THE CIA IS THE NATION'S RESOURCE FOR PRODUCING
NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE. AND IT TRULY IS A NATIONAL RESOURCE - --
OUR TRAINED, SKILLFUL, AND IMAGINATIVE ANALYSTS ARE A WEALTH
BEYOND PRICE.
Photocopy.from.George-Rush.Presidential.Library library
SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY PROVIDE US TODAY WITH MEANS OF
COLLECTING INFORMATION THAT IS BEYOND THE WILDEST IMAGININGS
OF EVEN A FEW YEARS AGO, YET DESPITE THE MIND-BOGGLING
ADVANCES MADE IN THIS AREA, THERE IS STILL AN ESSENTIAL NEED
FOR INFORMATION FROM PEOPLE. TRAINED AND EXPERIENCED PEOPLE
ARE NECESSARY TO ACQUIRE INFORMATION THAT IS ONLY AVAILABLE
THROUGH ACCESS TO KNOWLEDGEABLE FOREIGN OFFICIALS AND TO THE
PLANS AND INTENTIONS OF FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS THAT MAY BE
ADVERSE TO U.S. INTERESTS.
6
I AM A COMPARATIVE NEWCOMER TO THE INTELLIGENCE
BUSINESS, BUT I HAVE BEEN IMMERSED LONG ENOUGH TO HAVE
NO HESITANCY IN SAYING TO YOU THAT THE CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE
AGENCY IS AN ORGANIZATION OF WHICH THE ENTIRE NATION CAN
BE PROUD.
ON MY WAY HERE TODAY, I WAS REMINDED OF SOMETHING THAT
WAS WRITTEN BY JOHN BUCHAN IN 1940, A TIME OF DESCENDING
DARKNESS ON EUROPE AND THE FREE WORLD, WHEN GREAT BRITAIN
STOOD VIRTUALLY ALONE AGAINST THE SEEMINGLY IRRESISTIBLE
ENEMY. JOHN BUCHAN, AS YOU REMEMBER, IS. THE FAMILY NAME OF
LORD TWEEDSMUIR, THEN GOVERNOR GENERAL OF CANADA AND ALSO
AUTHOR OF SOME NOW CLASSIC TALES OF ESPIONAGE AND ADVENTURE.
JOHN BUCHAN WROTE THEN:
"THE UNITED STATES IS THE RICHEST, AND, BOTH
ACTUALLY AND POTENTIALLY, THE MOST POWERFUL STATE
ON THE GLOBE. SHE HAS MUCH, I BELIEVE, TO GIVE
Photocopy from George Bush Presidential Library
TO THE WORLD; INDEED, TO HER HANDS IS CHIEFLY
ENTRUSTED THE SHAPING OF THE FUTURE. IF DEMOCRACY
IN THE BROADEST AND TRUEST SENSE IS TO SURVIVE, IT
WILL BE MAINLY BECAUSE OF HER GUARDIANSHIP. FOR,
WITH ALL HER IMPERFECTIONS, SHE HAS A CLEARER VIEW
THAN ANY OTHER PEOPLE OF THE DEMOCRATIC FUNDAMENTALS.'
THAT WAS WRITTEN IN 1940, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, AND
SURELY IT IS AS TRUE TODAY AS IT WAS THEN. TO BE SURE,
MANY THINGS HAVE CHANGED, LARGELY BECAUSE OF THE WAY THAT
7
WE DID DISCHARGE OUR RESPONSIBILITIES AFTER WORLD WAR II.
LARGELY BECAUSE OF OUR OWN POLICIES AND ACTIONS, -WE ARE
NO LONGER IN THE POSITION OF FOOD SUPPLIER TO THE FREE
WORLD; WE ARE NO LONGER IN THE POSITION OF THE REBUILDER
AND SUPPORTER OF WAR-SHATTERED ECONOMIES OF THE WORLD; AND,
LARGELY BECAUSE OF THE SUCCESS OF OUR POLICIES, WE HAVE
RELINQUISHED WHAT TOLERANCE WE HAD FOR BEING THE WORLD'S
POLICEMAN.
BUT THE WORLD IS NOT YET SUCH AS WE WOULD WANT IT TO
BE. MAYBE IT NEVER WILL BE, IT CERTAINLY IS NOT LIKELY
TO BECOME A UTOPIAN WORLD WITHIN OUR LIFETIME OR EVEN IN
THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. AND WHILE WE ARE STRIVING TO
MAKE OUR CONTRIBUTION TO A WORLD OF PEACE AND SECURITY
AND TRUST, WE FIND THAT WE STILL NEED -- QUITE CONSISTENT
WITH THIS STRIVING -- TO HAVE NATIONAL SECURITY SECOND TO
NONE IN THE WORLD.
Photocopy from George Bush Presidential Library
IN PEACE, PRESIDENT FORD HAS SAID, THERE IS NO
SUBSTITUTE FOR INTELLIGENCE. IN ORDER TO PROTECT THE
COUNTRY THAT WE LOVE AND THE SYSTEM OF FREEDOM IN WHICH WE
BELIEVE, WE MUST ABOVE ALL HAVE KNOWLEDGE. KNOWLEDGE OF
WHAT THE INTENTIONS ARE OF THOSE THAT WOULD WISH US HARM,
KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT POTENTIAL FOR DOING US HARM THEY MAY
POSSESS. WE NEED THAT KNOWLEDGE TO PROVIDE IT TO THOSE
WHO MAKE POLICY FOR OUR NATION SO THAT WE MAY BE PREPARED
WITH POLICIES AND ACTIONS OF OUR OWN, AND SO THAT WE MAY
ADOPT POLICIES AND ACTIONS THAT PROTECT AND PROMOTE OUR
8
NATIONAL INTERESTS WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF PEACE AND
SECURITY, AND, HOPEFULLY, TRUST. FOR THE ONLY ALTERNATIVE
TO ACTING ON THE BASIS OF KNOWLEDGE IS ACTING ON THE
BASIS OF IGNORANCE AND THAT IS NOT WHAT WE WISH FOR OURSELVES,
EITHER IN OUR PRIVATE LIVES OR IN OUR INTERNATIONAL DEALINGS.
THE ONE ELEMENT OF THE PROFESSION OF INTELLIGENCE,
THAT ESSENTIAL COMPONENT OF NATIONAL SECURITY AND FOREIGN
RELATIONS, THAT HAS TROUBLED US AS CITIZENS OF A FREE
NATION IS THE NECESSARY -- INDEED ESSENTIAL -- ELEMENT OF
WHAT
WE
SECRECY THAT IS INHERENT IN OUR PROFESSION. IT IS NO WONDER
THAT EVEN THE VERY FACT OF SECRECY TENDS TO STIMULATE
SUSPICION AND GIVE AN AURA OF SENSATIONALISM, AND THEREFORE
OFTEN AN ENTIRELY ERRONEOUS PERSPECTIVE TO VARIOUS
DISCLOSURES AND FINDINGS, OCCASIONALLY, IF I MAY SAY SO,
WITHOUT DUE REGARD FOR THE AMOUNT AND QUALITY OF EVIDENCE.
IF SECRECY IS ESSENTIAL, SO TOO, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
Photocopy from George Bush Presidential Library
IS ACCOUNTABILITY. NO ACTIVITY OF OUR GOVERNMENT MAY BE
CONDUCTED WITHOUT BEING SUBJECTED TO A RELIABLE AND
RESPONSIBLE SYSTEM OF CHECKS AND BALANCES. BUT, MY FRIENDS,
ACCOUNTABILITY IS ONE THING; RECKLESSNESS IS ANOTHER.
IT IS NOT THOSE WHO DISCLOSE THE NAMES OF OUR INTELLIGENCE
OFFICERS SERVING ABROAD THAT ADD TO THE SECURITY OF A FREE
SOCIETY. IT IS NOT THOSE WHO BELIEVE THEY CAN ON THEIR
OWN JUDGMENT DISCLOSE INFORMATION WHICH HAS BEEN CLASSIFIED
IN THE INTERESTS OF OUR SECURITY THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THE
9
RESPONSIVENESS OF GOVERNMENT TO THE PEOPLE. AND IT IS NOT
THOSE WHO DETERMINEDLY DENY THE GOOD WILL AND RESPONSIBILITY
OF PEOPLE IN AND OUT OF GOVERNMENT BY DWELLING ON ABUSES
OF THE PAST THAT ENHANCE THE MECHANISM OF ACCOUNTABILITY
WHICH THIS FREE SOCIETY HAS CREATED FOR THE CONTROL OF
LEGITIMATELY SECRET GOVERNMENT RESPONSIBILITIES.
THE GREAT MAJORITY OF US, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, HAVE
FAITH IN THE STRENGTH AND EFFECTIVENESS OF OUR DEMOCRATIC
INSTITUTIONS, FOR WHILE DEMOCRATIC INSTITUTIONS MAY BE
USED TO SOW SEEDS OF WEAKNESS AND DISTRUST; THEY EXIST IN
ORDER TO MAKE US STRONG AND SELF-RELIANT, AND THEY HAVE
PROVED THEIR EFFECTIVENESS IN THE 200 YEARS OF OUR HISTORY.
YOU ALL KNOW SOME OF THE PROBLEMS I FACE IN THIS JOB.
I WISH YOU COULD ALSO SHARE IN THE PRIDE I FEEL FOR OUR
INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY AND THE COMFORT I GET, AS AN AMERICAN,
Photocopy from George Bush Presidential Library
IN SEEING THE TREMENDOUS TALENT WE HAVE IN THE CIA AND
ACROSS THE WHOLE COMMUNITY.
I WISH YOU COULD TALK TO SOME OF OUR EMPLOYEES WHOSE
HEADS ARE HIGH AFTER A COUPLE OF YEARS OF VICIOUS BATTERING.
THEY ARE AS VIGOROUSLY OPPOSED TO THE MISTAKES OF THE PAST
AS OUR STRONGEST CRITICS, BUT THEY HAVE RETAINED A PERSPECTIVE.
THEY KNOW THE NEED FOR A STRONG INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY,
AND THEY ARE PREPARED TO WITHSTAND THE BATTERING, IF THAT
IS NECESSARY, TO WORK FOR A CAUSE THEY BELIEVE IN.

Dear Jack,
Just a quick note to thank you for your
hospitality at the Commonwealth Club. It
was great seeing you.
I hope you will convey to all those at
the Club our appreciation for the arrange-
ments and their hospitality.
I am sorry that we missed the Stowaway
lunch--things got unbelievably complicated.
In any event, it was a great weekend. Both
A1 Haig and I enjoyed it immensely.
I hope our paths cross again in the
not too distant future.
Sincerely,
aug

Dear George:
My apologies for the delay in getting back to you after your
tremendously successful visit to the Bohemian Club a couple
of weeks ago. Everyone was impressed with you and what you
had to say. It was a good Bohemian affair.
With regard to General Alexander Haig's visit to the Grove
this summer, we could easily plan a luncheon on the Friday
of that weekend, which would be July 23rd. That is, if both
of you could arrange to get to the Grove early enough to do SO.
Just let me know your plans, and we will handle it accordingly.
Many thanks again for making the effort to be with us for the
luncheon at the Club. We all enjoyed seeing you again, and
will look forward to having you with us at the Grove.
Cordially,
Bill

Dear Mr. Lininger,
Thank you for your thoughtful invitation
inviting me to speak to the Tucson Rotary Club.
I'm going to keep this in mind. Perhaps you
and I can discuss it at the Grove this summer.
I will be there the second weekend staying at
my camp - Hillbillies. I'd like to come back
to Tucson, if for no other reason than to check
up on my great friend John Haugh.
Warm regards,
Sincerely,
/s/ George Bush

Dear Mr. Bush:
Our mutual friend, John Haugh, suggested that I
drop you a brief note. As a fellow Bohemian, I
have received the announcement that you are going to
be speaking in San Francisco today.
I thought how nice it would be if you could try to
tie that in with a talk to our Tucson Rotary Club,
which has about 250 members. I happen to be Pres-
ident of the club this year and of course Doc is
one of our members.
I would appreciate it very much if you would consider
coming to visit us and I am sorry that you are unable
to do it at this time. Doc thought a gentle remin-
der might induce you to keep us in mind for a Wed-
nesday some time in the future.

Incidentally, if you are at The Grove this summer,
I am a member of Faraway which, as you know, is at
the end of River Road.
Thank you again, and with best wishes, I remain,
