Colby Opposes CIA Budget Disclosure
CIA Director William E. Colby resisted Rockefeller Commission calls to reveal part of the agency budget. He argued that even overall spending details risk exposing clandestine operations and said CIA spending, reportedly about 750 million annually, has been hidden in Defense budget lines. Colby admitted past illegal actions were limited and small scale, with only three agents tied to infiltration of dissident groups. He declined to discuss assassinations but said current policy forbids such plots.
