Colby Denies CIA Manipulation Role in Nixon Precedent
CIA Director William Colby told the House Intelligence Committee that a CIA agent assigned to the National Security Council could bypass the council and propose covert operations to President Nixon but denied an attempt to manipulate the president. He noted the agent acted as a NSC staffer and said costs figures discussed in private session included a potentially large total, with estimates around six to nine billion dollars. Colby defended past CIA actions, questioned legality of covert acts without NSC approval, and warned future directors could lift current bans on political assassinations.
