March 1959 to date and represent as accurate a record
as is available in our files. Those activities which
took place prior to the date of my appointment as
Director of Security on 1 July 1964 have been developed
to a certain extent through the recollection of the
senior people in this Office who were involved or who
had knowledge of the activities at the time they
occurred.

3. I have gone back to March 1959 because I
believe that the activities occurring since that time
still have a viable "flap potential" in that many of the
people involved, both Agency and non-Agency are still
alive and through their knowledge of the activity repre-
sent a possible potential threat or embarrassment to the
Agency. I would be glad to provide clarification or an
explanation of any of these activities if desired. You
have my assurance that unless otherwise stated each of
these activities was approved by higher authority--the
