          MEMORANDUM  FOR:  Director of Security
                                          °3
          FROM           :  Sherwood R. Bosworth)
                             xternal Activities Branch

          SUBJECT        :  Manuscript by David Phillips              '



               1.  Attached  herewith is a proposed letter to
          Mr. David A.  Phillips outlining deletions which the
          Agency' would like made from his book.  The general tone
          of the responses  from Agency components was that, if
          possible,  this book should not be published.  In the view
          of most,  it dangerously reveals sources and methods,
          internal organization,  missions, and functions.  It also
          provides public  confirmation of covert Agency activities
          and the disruption  and reduced morale created by Agee
          and others.

               2.  However,  on the assumption that publication
          could not or would  not be blocked, the operating components
          catalogued  their most serious concerns.  The attached
          letter to Mr.  Phillips includes many of these reservations.
          The chapter by  chapter review, which appears later in
          this memorandum,  contains those recommendations for deletion
          which, for various  explained reasons, should not be forwarded
          to Mr.. Phillips.

               3.  Before proceeding  with the manuscript review,
          we would like  to advise that Mr. John Greaney of OGC has
          volunteered his  services to accompany you or Mr. Stembridge
          when our proposals  are placed before Mr. Phillips.  Due
          to time limitations,  he has not had a chance to review
          this memorandum or  the proposed letter to Mr. Phillips
          as of this date.
