MORI DocID: 1451843

7 May 1973

MEMORANDUM FOR: O/DDI

SUBJECT: Involvement In Domestic Affairs

1. This memorandum responds to the DDI's
request for a listing of any questionable
involvements in domestic affairs. I do not believe
that CRS is doing anything that a reasonable
man could construe as improper.

2. CRS does, of course, have several programs
to acquire still pictures, movies, videotapes

[REDACTED]

3. CRS files do not generally bear on U.S.
citizens or organizations. The biographic file-
building criteria specifically excludes U.S.
nationals unless the person has become of such
major importance in the political life of a foreign
country that the file is essential. (To my knowledge,
only 2 persons so qualify.)

[REDACTED]
Our Cuban files probably include
some persons who are now U.S. citizens but we
have no way to separate them; we have files on
U.S. defectors to Cuba.)
