[113]as
[115]their association with the Agency. I explained the Agency's serious
[116]reservations concerning the possibility of compromise of agents and
[117]operations that are still in being. 1 explained that the Agency con-
[118]tinues to have associations with some of the individuals with whom
[119]Messrs. Barker and Martinez had contact during their Agency :
[120]association. Mr.. Schultz seemed to appreciate this problem, Thus, oy ’
[121]in order to attempt to protect those individuals, I explained that the ‘ { ’
[123]’ Agency is currently not in a position to give Messrs. Barker and :
[124]Martinez blanket authorization to identify individuals with whom they
[125]had contact during their Agency association. Mr. Schultz readily
[126]acknowledged those conditions.
[128]4. I mentioned to Mr, Schultz that if, as a result of the
[129]discussions that are now being authorized, Mr. Schultz believes
[130]that certain individuals need to be identified he can make sucha
[131]narrow request to the Agency at that time. I made no guarantee : . .
[132]that we would approve such a request, only that we would consider oe _
[133]it in view of (!) the rationale that Mr. Schultz would offer as to his a ;
[135]“ nends, (2) the possibility of publication, (3) the damage to current ’
[136]operations, and (4) the precedent in terms of weakening the confi- _—
[137]donce of current and po‘ontial Agency relationships. ; ; a
