MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD

SUBJECT: Interview with [REDACTED] FMSAC

1. [REDACTED] said he recalled [REDACTED] talking
about the Office of Security's liaison with the Police Forces in
the Metropolitan Area and that the Ballou case was mentioned.
He also recalled that [REDACTED] had mentioned that the Agency
had provided assistance to the Secret Service in connection with
surveillance work against radical groups at the 1968 Democratic
National Convention in Chicago. He said that he could not re-
member exactly what [REDACTED] said, but he did recall that
there was considerable discussion and debate among the class
members about the propriety of the Agency engaging in such
activities.

2. Later in January or February 1972, at a time when
[REDACTED]
was Chairman of the Management Advisory Group
(MAG), he said he discussed these matters, and questioned the
extent to which the Agency should become involved in domestic
intelligence activities, with Colonel White and later with Mr.
Colby. The MAG also raised the general problem in a couple of
their papers, but without citing specific detailed examples. He
said he understood that Colonel White had taken the matter up
with the Director of Security and that some changes had been
made as a result.
