...only way to save "what is good in NSA," Brown believes, is to purge the organization of all underground connotations. This cannot be done, he feels, through a Presidential commission like the one President Johnson set up in immediate response to the disclosure. This three-man commission, with Richard Helms, CIA director, as one of the members, is not an adequate means of restoring NSA's credibility.
