m. 12 April 1972 — No problems.
n. 14 April. 1972 - The first item identifies CIA
reports and should at least be sanitized. The next three
marked items do not appear on their face to present
-problems, although D/NIO may wish to review the reference
to an ONE memorandum. on Chile, publication of which
might expose it to public attention.
0. 19 April. 1972 — I would think that a discussion of the
newspaper stori.es can be released. The next item that is
marked raises the question of international relations and
the very fact that the issue was raised puts it in a special
category and should be considered carefully. »
p. Zl April. 1972 — No problems with the item on
Ma-rchetti, although as in other instances the appearance
of Thuermer's name presents a question.
q. 1 May 1972 - No problems. Of the four items
marked on the second page of the minutes the only question
that I have is the use of the name o.f Brittenham. If
released, and I assurne it will be, Brittenham should
probably be advised.
r. 3 May 1972 — The twoiterns on the second page of
the minutes have to do with Congressional hearings and
are releasable. The marked item on the Moscow signals
merely reveals interest on a subject that has subsequently
received considerable publicity, as Well as confirmation. -
s. 4 May 1972 -— No problem with the first and last
items except the question on Thuermer's name. The '
items on sensitive ORD and TSD contracts (the 5th item
in the minutes) present problems,‘ but possibly can be
sanitized.
t. 17 May l972 - No problems, except for the reference
to specific budgetary figures and the NRO reference.
