MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence

FROM                    : Deputy Director for Intelligence

SUBJECT                 : Activities Possibly Outside CIA's
                         Legislative Charter

     1. This memorandum responds to your instruction to
report any activities which might be considered outside CIA's
legislative charter.

     2. All Office and Staff chiefs in the Intelligence Directorate
have reviewed the past and present activities of their components.
I have received responses from all of them, and none reported any
activities related to either the Watergate affair or the break into
the offices of Ellsberg's psychiatrist. Although contacts with
three of the people allegedly implicated in these incidents were
reported, these contacts were on matters other than the two
improper activities:

     Hunt:     Col. White, Richard Lehman, and I talked
               to Hunt in late 1970 regarding his preparation
               of a recommendation in support of the Agency's
               nomination of R. Jack Smith for the National
               Civil Service League Award.

     Mitchell: While Mr. Mitchell was Attorney General,
               an OCI officer was assigned the task of
               providing him with daily briefings on
               foreign developments.
