                 FROM:            Clifton R. Strathern
                                  Chief, Latin America Division

                 SUBJECT:         General Comments on Mr. David Phillips' Manuscript

                 REFERENCE:       C/LAD Memorandum dated 22 June 1976, Citing Specific
                                  Objections to Mr. David Phillips' Manuscript



                      1.  The general tenor of the manuscript leaves much to be desired
                 from both an operational and security viewpoint. The author in numer-
                 ous instances specifically discloses sources, methods, cover arrange-
                 ments and liaison relationships. Various LA Division officer who have
                 reviewed portions of the manuscript pertinent to their areas have
                 commented negatively on the revelations of tradecraft and identifica-
                 tion of numerous overseas Stations and operations.

                     2.  Other objectionable items in the manuscript concern the con-
                 firmation of Agee's effectiveness in neutralizing Agency efforts abroad
                 by ublishing lists of CIA personnel in specifiguStations; revelation
                 o                          personnel in                      ) the
                 Agency role in countering terrorism, narcotics trafficking and training
                 provided other services to counteract these activities; and, the
                 specific identity of liaison relationships, particularly


                     3.  The overall concensus of this Division is that publication of
                this manuscript in its present form would be detrimental to the Agency
                and this Division in particular.
