Assistance Act of 1961, As Amended, Concerning
Operations Undertaken by the Central Intelligence
Agency in Foreign Countries. Other Than Those
Intended Solely for the Purpose of Intelligence
Collection

0401

I have been briefed on the efforts being made by private parties to obtain the release of Americans held hostage in the Middle East, and hereby find that the following operations in foreign countries (including all support necessary to such operations) are important to the national security of the United States. Because of the extreme sensitivity of these operations, in the exercise of the Presiden 's const:tutional authorities. I direct the Director of Central Intelligence not to brief the Congress of the United States, as provided for in Section 501 of the National Security Act of 1947, as amended, until such time as I may direct otherwise.

--I am very unenthusiastic about this;

--We have made the point for years that we will not make deals with terrorists. If we start paying now, it will never stop

' and will negate the whole policy;

--Ultimately, the whole story will come out someday and we will pay the price;

--I also doubt it will buy us the kind of influence we want in Iran. The only people there who can get our hostages free are the radicals. They will not be influenced by our supplying arms. Although moderates may welcome our help, they have no influence in freeing our hostages;

--We also have to think about the effect on our moderate Arab
friends. They will be badly shaken if they ever find out that
we are breaking our commitment to them and helping the radicals
in Tehran fight their fellow Arab Iraq;

--Our Allies would also be shocked if they knew we were helping
Iran in spite of our protestations to the contrary;

--I believe we should put this operation aside, step back and
take a hard look at where we are going with Iran. We should
have two or three people work quietly with John to look at how
best we can increase the chances that in the coming years Iran
will turn back to us and the West.
