MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Intelligence

SUBJECT: DCS Domestic Activity

To the best of my knowledge, DCS has not engaged in any
activity outside the CIA charter or that could be construed as
illegal. Some of the functions that we perform under HR 1-13f

5. Collect information on possible foreign involvement
or penetration of US dissident groups, but only in a
passive manner and only when the source has refused
to pass the information directly to the FBI.

6. Collect information on the narcotics trade, but again
only in a passive manner when the source has refused to
pass the information directly to BNDD or the FBI.
