Reading Room Document

CIA Counterintelligence Activity

This document is a communication regarding a proposal for CIA counterintelligence activity, with the conclusion that there is no strong objection to the proposal, but there should be a condition for turning the matter over to the FBI at an appropriate point. The document also raises questions about the language used in the proposal, specifically regarding the phrase "sufficient contact" and the need for clarification on what it means. The document presents the conclusion that the turning over of the project to the FBI should be a condition, and questions the use of language in the proposal.
