MEMORANDUM FOR:  Mr. William E. Colby

SUBJECT:-        Special Activities



       1.  Following our recent conversation, I have
searched my memory and Mr. McCone's files for examples
of activities which to hostile observers or to someone
without complete knowledge and with a special kind of
motivation could be  interpreted as examples of activities
exceeding CIA's charter.

and also as a result of certain  information conveyed by
Anatole Golitsea, James Angleton, with the approval of
Dick Helms, agreed to mount a counterespionage operation
