Approved for Release: 2019/03/27 C01247684 -SEGR-E¥ 0 A (U//MUG) Requester Interested in CIA Inspector General Audit (U//A-I-H6) Knight Ridder Newspaper of Washington, DC seeks "a copy of any audits performed by the CIA Inspector General's Office and other information or records on awards and expenditures of US government funds by the Iraqi National Congress and the Iraqi National Congress Support Foundation." (b)(3) (b)(5) (U//A-I-He) CIA Declassification Center (U//AI-I-96) From the Archives: DCI Should Be Fall Guy _ (U//AI-U-9) The DCI team at the CIA Declassification Center recently reviewed documents that indicate DCI Allen Dulles suggested that he, not the President, should take the blame for an embarrassing intelligence failure. In February, 1975, the Murphy Commission, established by the Executive Branch to review the foreign policy arena, including peripherally the intelligence aspect, circulated some draft recommendations and comments for review. One aspect of the paper dealt with the need for the President to be able to disassociate himself from certain actions: "The 1960 U-2 incident demonstrates the tremendous repercussions which can result when a President takes personal responsibility for a failure that could more conveniently have been left at the door of a subordinate. In his memoirs, (USSR) Chairman Khrushchev stated he was astonished when President Eisenhower announced he had personally authorized all U-2 flights. Khrushchev therefore felt obliged to respond with personal invective and cancellation of his invitation to the American President to visit Russia. President Eisenhower himself later stated that his failure to follow Allen Dulles’ advice that the DCI be blamed for the damaging incident was one of the biggest foreign policy errors of the Eisenhower years. The (Murphy) Commission believes it is trul im ortant that a President be left the option of disassociating himself from embarrassing intelligence failures." »> (b)(3) A i D i (b)(3) ~ CC: Sent on 13 November 2002 at 03:56:20 PM S-E-GR'E‘|" for Release: 2019/03/27 C01247684 (b)(1) (b)(3)
