circumvented and that the Attorney General's role as overseer be lessened. le also eliminated Ford and Carter strictures chat the agencies must show cause that their targets might be engaged in subversion. Critics of the revealed plan, among chem the ACLU, argued that such an executive order from Reagan would constitute the first time in the country's history that a president authonzed the CIA co do these things, as opposed to simply blinkmg a cymcal eye, as pre-Ford presidents had done . William Colby was not the one to hold the spotlight on the parade of witnesses and documents that were illuminated during the Church and Pike hearings, but as director of the Central Intelligence Agency during those years of exposure he was uncommonly forthcoming for a man in his position. He was so cooperative with the Rockefeller Commission in 1975 that a somewhat uneasy Nelson Rockefeller, sitting as chairman of the ad hoc review panel, asked Colby, "Bill, do you really have to present all this material to us?" Only a few months later, Gerald Ford sent Colby back out into the cold, possibly because he tended to talk too much, ostensibly (and according to Colby) because Ford wanted a member of his own team, George Bush, in the sensitive directorship. Colby is a perplexing figure in recent intelligence history. He is the highest man in the CIA ever to have written a lx>ok on the agency, and he was an active player at the beginnmg of the process that ultimately attempted to set clear guidelines and limits on what the agency could and couldn't do. But he's the same man who organized the mysterious Phoenix program in Vietnam - a joint venture between the military, intelligence, and security forces of this country and those of the Thieu regime in the Republic of South Vietnam -which sent agents into the countryside in search of the wispy Viet Cong infrastructure in ways that critics of the war insisted led to torture and assassination of Vietnamese whose guilt had not been established. Colby concedes chat of the 20,000 villagers killed in (continued on page 5, col. 4)

was run not just by Nixon, but Kissmgcr, Haig, Haldeman, and Erlichman, during a period when che Allende government in Chile was overthrown with direct CIA participation and younger members of the CIA were upset over the agency's spying mro the domestic affairs of U.S. citizens. And so it came as no surprise lase March when the New York Times ,ran an editorial condemning che revival of domestic spying as an "open call for government lawlessness," that Colby reacted by writing the T,mes a letter accusing the newspaper of sensationalizing what had been relatively few and minor CIA transgressions, and publicizing what was only a rough first draft. Snll m all, he is one of the most talkative and accessible spymasters we have, and his 1978 lx>ok Honorable Men, while laden with self-acquittal and minimizanon of the evidence against the agency, makes his current position on public oversight of the CIA seem more hawkish than che views he once held at a time when America was more aggressively skeptical of the agency. The former CIA director will deliver a speech co the public on Monday, November 9, at 8 :00 p. m. at the University of San Diego. William Colby, who is now a lawyer specializing in international affairs, will examine "the ways in which America must mobilize to defend itself." For information call 291-6480 x4592. -Bob Dorn
