fi_,._ 1,‘: 7.- 5 '*" Bu! Hui i:.v;..iu:li'a3C ‘F’ u. 18 May 1972 - No problems. v. 19 May 1972 — No problems; this indicates a false Jack Anderson story rather than confirming a real Agency report. _ ' w. 22 May 1972 - There may be a problem in reference to "Soviet Navy Delivery Systems" and the items at the bottom of the first page of the Ininutes. Otherwise it seems O. K. The last item in the minutes on SALT merely reveal the subject but not the substantive contents and probably is releasable. x. 23 May 1972 - No problems with the three marked items, although OLC may feel that the first of them raises the "advice and counsel" issue. y. 25 May 1972 - No problems. z. 1 June 1972 - No problems. aa. 7 June 1972 - No problems. bb. 8 June 1972 — The DDI should comment on the reference to a specific OCI report. N0 problem with reference t‘o a Jack Anderson column. cc. 9 June 1972 - The reference to the Jack Anderson column indicates that the reference to av\"intercept" is probably correct. It raises the question of confirming a COMINT activity. The reference to Britishrconcern is an additional revelation in terms of US—UK intelligence relations . _ ' dd. 26 June 1972 — Specific reference to USIB estimates may have to be sanitized. ee. 27 .TuI1~e 1972 — While publicity of the existence of .forma1 briefing material on the SALT subject may lead to FOIA requests, it is assumed that their continued classi- fication and the sensitivity of the subject would result in a denial. I don't see how We can withhold it. No problem with the last iteln on the first page of the minutes. -4- (‘*;“‘;- 3'15 17“; =r\~t__ 3"-{*1 5"." .-“Q it/H1"“"'§i ;~;>J:n -1
