2. The above figures include the Office of
Security's 1968 review of federal income
tax data concerning a former high-ranking
Agency employee.
The Office of General Counsel was also in contact
with the IRS on two occasions circa 1967 through
1972 which appear relevant to the allegations.
1. The Office of General Counsel obtained certain
federal tax information concerning the maga-
zine Ramparts in.l967 based on Ramparts’
disclosures of the CIA's relations ips with
certain tax exempt organizations.
2. The Office of General Counsel contacted IRS
in I972 concerning Mr. Philip B. F. Agee, in
an attempt to determine Mr. Agee's overseas
address, although no taxpayer information
was obtained in this instance.
All but one of theiabove cases in which the Office
of Security and the Office of General Counsel were
in contact with the IRS were of concern to the
Agency from a counterintelligence standpoint. The
single exception was a 1957 investigation of an
Agency employee suspected of misusing his position
of trust and responsibility to his own financial
gain.
The information obtained from IRS varied with each
case. y
l. The federal tax information ranged from
minimal data (such as an individual's
reported yearly income) to rather extensive
information indicating that an Agency employee
had viewed the IRS tax forms from which
copious notes were taken.
2. In none of the cases referred to above has
the Agency obtained copies of federal tax
forms.
