H © We have accepted this as a condition precedent'and have proceeded with
: our operational activities in the most professional manner possible under

H FR Division has participated and/or is participating that contain some-
. what greater possibility for embarrassment if discovered. I have listed
{ these below, not necessarily in order of embarrassment potential:
: a. [ roviass a fairly considerable
H amount of support to Dr. Kissinger in his contacts with the
Chinese. This support was authorized by Mr. Karamessines ,
] . and Mr. Helms. Thus far there has been no problém other’
than the inordinate amount of time spent oe]
personnel, not to mention the fairly sizeable amount o .
money that has been expended in support of these efforts. .
