MORI DocID: 1451843

SECRET

U.S. citizen; both at home and abroad. In operational areas
which are highly sensitive and potentially explosive (e.g.,
domestic radical or racial groups) this Agency must carefully
weigh the needs and pressures for collecting and maintaining
this information against the risk and impact of revelation
should the operation become compromised or public knowledge.
We therefore urge that all domestic collection and action
programs be severely reviewed so that only those be continued
which are of the highest priority and which absolutely cannot
be undertaken by domestic agencies. CIA should not take on
requirements of this type by default.

4. Not all of the members of MAG are privy to CIA's
direct or indirect involvement in domestic activities. Those
who are aware probably know only parts of the whole picture.
But our increasing concern and our intense interest in
maximizing the Agency's ability to do its proper job, impel
us to bring our serious apprehensions to your attention.
