Source: Washington National Records Center, RG 330, OSD Files: FRC 330–82–0204B, 039, No Title. No classification marking. Identical letters were sent to Bell and Turner. (Ibid.) In a covering memorandum to Carter, September 20, Brzezinski wrote, “Stan Turner, Harold Brown and Griffin Bell are prepared to live with the guidance in these letters. However, their initial preference—which gave rise to this proposed guidance—was to report all possible abuses to you, the IOB and Congress simultaneously. This, of course, would have greatly limited your flexibility and would inevitably result in strong pressures from the Congressional oversight committees before you had a chance thoroughly to study the problem and decide upon appropriate remedial actions. The guidance in the letters assures that this will not be the case.” Carter wrote “OK. J” beneath Brzezinski’s note.
