                                                1 June 1973




                 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.

                        2.  First, as we discussed,  on 7 March 1962,
                 DCI McCone, under pressure  from Attorney General Robert
                 F. Kennedy, agreed  to tap the telephones of columnists
                 Robert S. Allen and Paul Scott  in an effort to identify
                 their sources for classified  information which was appear-
                 ing in their columns.  Because  the primary source appeared
                 to be in the Department of  Defense, McCone ordered me
                 personally to brief General Joe  Carroll, Director of DIA,
                 orally, which I did.   I understand more complete information
                 on this operation  is available from the Director of Security.
                 I, personally, managed  to avoid gaining any knowledge of
                 what precise actions were  taken, what information was gained,
                 what was done with  it, and when the operation was terminated.

                        3.  As a result of a  developing relationship with
                 Ph*-Ippe--de-Vos-jli, the SDDCE representative in Washington,
                 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
                 against










                                         D   Col..
                                                F~1S                 0045'7
