CIA chief designate Admiral Stansfield Turner vows to review the payments to Jordanian King Hussein and all other covert CSA funds to decide if secrecy is still necessary. He argues operations should be overt whenever possible and stresses sanctions against leaks while criticizing the Hussein affair for revealing propriety concerns. Turner also assesses Soviet defense posture, indicating the Soviets lag behind the United States economically and technologically yet strive to close the gap.
