                                                     15 September 1977


           MEMORANDUM  FOR:  Chief, Information Services Staff

           FROM           :  Charles A. Briggs
                             DDO Information Review Officer

           SUBJECT      - : Appreciation


                 1.  As you know well, on September 19th, 1 turn over,
           responsibility for release or denial of DDO documents -under
           the Freedom o-f Information hnd, Pr~iacy' Acts. The experience
           has been both frustrating and chal-lenging, epitomizing the
    j      issues in transition from'a totally classified past to a new
           intelligence environment yet to be defined.  The tension in
    1      law between protection of sources and methods and-more open
           government was, apparent,- dai-y, to those involved; good case - -
           law was made -as we sought to adhere, to both principles and
           to regain, through this process,' some credibility for the
           Agency.

                 2.  I've tried in the past to convey my appreciation
           for the truly magnificent support I got from what is now
           the Privacy and Information Action Group, through recoramenda-
           tions for the Unit Citation subsequently awarded by the DCI,
           through QSI's. and promofions, and through personal comment.
           All have worked long hard hours and all, those now in PIAG
  -        and those who have left; deserve credit for their professional
           efforts in this arena; I want to express my thanks to you for
           the assistance your people gave to me as the DDO Information
           Review Officer.

                 3.  At the risk of being unfair to some who are pore
           recent arrivals, I want to express particular and very
           personal thanks to Win Brown, Cis Cass, Lou Dube, -Mary Felton,
           Doris LeBaron, Fred McCann, Karen Rice, Helen Stilson, Jon
           Wolfe and Mack Wobd.

                4.  My 'debt to Fred Randall                has been
          made a matter of record on seve.ra occasions.   et -me just
          -note here that any supervisor who has had the kind of
          qualitatiie backing that' those two gentlemen gave me is
          fortunate indeed.
          For OPF, Randall, Frederick
