Published by CNSS: Center for National Security Studies Report, No. 109, Sept. 1983,ISBN: 0-86566-031-X, 59 pages.The plan of the Reagan Administration to require all senior former officials to submit materials related to intelligence for pre-publication review makes timely and relevant this study of CIA censorship.The first American book to be subject to review prior to publication was THE CIA AND THE CULT OF INTELLIGENCE. This study written by former CIA official Victor Marchetti was submitted tot he CIA for review pursuant to a court order."The CIA originally objected to 339 sections of the Marchetti/Marks book. Knowing the deletions would be tested in court, however, the agency agreed to restore 171 items to the book before it was published. These items were published in bold face type in the original book. Of the 168 remaining deletions, 25 were released in whole or in part through a Freedom of Information Act request by the authors. these were included in the 1980 paperback edition. Forty more deletions were released after the Center for National Security Studies filed an FOIA suit in 1980. The lawsuit was settled in 1983.This report reproduces pages of the 1974 edition wot which deleted passages have been restored. The new material has been typed at the bottom of each pages.Perhaps the most important lesson to be drawn from reviewing the passages censored by the CIA is the arbitration of the process and the degree to which classification is in the eye of the beholder. The CIA repeatedly deleted information that was clearly no secret or was innocuous." FINE SOFTCOVER, rare.9"l x 6"w 3. 2 Page Xerox BOOK REVIEW PRESS RELEASE for 9-13-1983 for the CNSS'S Case Study.
