Question: What is your reaction to the Rockefeller report on the CIA?

"It's pretty scary. To think that they have that many files on people. lt could be any one of us. It's a good idea for the Senate to pursue the investigations further, but I doubt anything will come of it." -Jenice Smith, employed at K-Mart"

It's like a flower beginning to bloom. First Watergate, and now everything else. I'm not surprised to hear about the ClA's wrongdoings. People like you and I don't even have any say. The people I vote for don't even get elected. Who elected Ford?... I hope it all comes out." -Barry Schwartz, electrician

"The Rockefeller Commission hasn't gone far enough. Any people in the CIA who have knowingly misued their power are disgusting. I don't think that as a body the CIA is necessarily bad, but when people misuse the power of the CIA, I think that there should be more investigations." -George Peck, student and cook

"First Watergate and now the CIA - the whole thing is corrupt. The CIA was involved in the assassination of President Kennedy, and several other domestic political assassinations. There's a lot of connections between organized crime, the government and the CIA." -Joyce Brycon, student

"The CIA should be exiled to Anarctica. I doubt the credibility of the Rockefeiler Report. I think the CIA should be prohibited from all domestic activity and that Congress should have reliable watchdog powers." -Claudia Morrow

"Rockefeller certainly knows a lot more than he's saying. He's been part of the CIA for years as the unofficial director. He has to protect his oil and industrial interests that extend throughout the Third World. He's not going to uncover information concerning misdeeds when he himself would be implicated. The Rockefeller Investigation was a complete whitewash. - Mike McCormick, social worker

I'm a Republican, and I like Rockefeller. Anything he does is okay with me." wished to remain anonymous
