Name Change urged for CIA to Foreign Intelligence Agency
A blue ribbon commission led by Vice President Rockefeller and Senate leader Mansfield plans to rename the CIA as the Foreign Intelligence Agency while urging firmer oversight. The staff study calls for limited covert action and suggests ending the President’s required certification, with full commission approval anticipated for end of June. A separate Booz Allen study for NIAAA finds 150,000 to 200,000 affluent executives are heavy drinkers, pushing a private resort clinic concept promoted by former officials, though funding was deemed inappropriate for the wealthy.
