Internal Memorandum Regarding Davidson Article

This document is an internal communication regarding an article authored by an individual named Davidson. Davidson had previously promised to send a copy of his article to the Pentagon, which he subsequently did. The Pentagon forwarded this material to the Agency without comment. The Agency then passed the article to Colonel Grocan, Special Assistant to the DCI, with the remark that they did not see that anything could be done about the content of the article, a sentiment with which the Colonel agreed. The document explicitly states that the Agency does not wish to have any further business with Davidson. It is noted that if Davidson wishes to contact the Agency, he already possesses sufficient names to do so. The Agency expresses a desire to avoid providing him with any additional names or addresses, fearing that further interaction would only encourage more speculation on his part. Furthermore, the Agency wishes to avoid offering him a new channel of communication. The document concludes by stating that the Agency does not want a specific, redacted entity involved in this matter, and expresses regret for leaving the recipient with this issue, noting that the only purpose served by further action would be to relieve the recipient's office of the burden by involving someone else in a matter the Agency wishes to avoid entirely.
