Nixon allows CIA free hand on covert deeds in 1970 memo
Declassified records show Nixon authorized covert CIA actions as long as the US hand remains unseen. Documents trace covert doctrine back to 1947 with a June 1948 NSC report establishing an Office of Special Projects and broad clandestine directives. The 1970 memo directed operations that would not reveal US government responsibility if uncovered. The report cites cold war aims and covert activities ranging from propaganda to sabotage and support of underground movements.

A Grundy County Circuit Court hearing is scheduled Tuesday to revoke the probation of Arthur Williams 27 formerly of Coal City. Judge Robert Malmquist set bond at 50000 after Williams requested court appointed counsel.

The petition to revoke was filed March 13 1975.
