are agents, intelligence sources
made no secret of their grow-'
ing apprehension about the con-
tinued publicizing of intelligence
activities.
One particular danger, the
sources said, was that some of
the people identified might not ;
be intelligence personnel but
could be in danger merely be-
cause they were on a list of
agents.
Several members of Congress,
where select committees are
now close to ending months of
intensive probing of illegal and
questionable U. S. intelligence
activities, have expressed
alarm at the naming of alleged
agents.
FOLLOWING THE Welch
killing, the Republican whip in
the House of Representatives,
Robert Michel (Ill;) said he
planned to introduces legisla-
tion soon to protect CIA agents
from having their identities de-
liberately revealed.
He said his legislation, to be
introduced after Congress re-
terns next Monday from its
Christmas recess, would make
s'ich disclosures a federal
crime.
Brit observers believed it
highlv unlikely that Congress
was likely to anprove any such
sweening legislation as that en-
visaged by Michel.
