:Scaife's one foray into international publishing represents perhaps the most curious of his publishing enterprises. In 1973, he became the owner of [[Kern House Enterprises]], a U.S.-registered company. Kern House ran [[Forum World Features]], a London-based news agency that supplied feature material to a large number of papers around the world, including at one time about thirty in the U.S. Scaife abruptly closed down Forum in 1975, shortly before Time Out, a British weekly, published a purported 1968 CIA memorandum, addressed to then-director [[Richard Helms]], which described Forum as a CIA-sponsored operation providing "a significant means to counter Communist propaganda." The Forum-CIA tie, which lasted into the seventies, has been confirmed by various British and American publications over the years, and it was confirmed independently by a source in connection with this article.<ref>Karen Rothmyer  [http://backissues.cjrarchives.org/year/81/4/scaife_part2.asp Citizen Scaife, part2 The small-bore publisher] Columbia Journalism Review July/August 1981.</ref>
