SUBJECT: Meeting with Jack Boos, House Select Committee Staff
1. Following the meeting with Chairman Nedzi late this
afternoon, I dropped by Jack Boos' office to advise him of my
meeting with Mr. Nedzi and to cover the same topics with
Boos.
2. As we discussed the proceedings being conducted by
the Senate Select Committee as they are reported in the newspapers,
Boos expressed considerable interest in the Committee's concentration
on the subject of assassination and asked me if we had given the Senate
Committee any documentation on the subject. I said indeed we had
and that I was sure that duplicate copies were avai.lab.le and would
be provided to the House Committee once it has established
its security procedures and facilities. We both noted the problem
which the House Committee .has with respect to extremely sensitive
material, i. e. , Representative Harrington's past performance in
disclosing the Director's briefing on Chile. I mentioned that
because the documentation on this subject is extremely sensitive,
the Senate Select Committee has agreed to have this material
placed in the vault of the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy.
Boos indicated that procedure would, he thought, be quite acceptable
to the House Committee. In fact, he suggested an even tighter
control which was that the material be retained at Agency
Headquarters subject to inspection by appropriate committee staff.
3. of our office accompanied me to my
meeting with Mr. Boos. We were introduced to the Committee's
Chief of Security, Mr. Ca r.1 Simms. We talked about the progress
that is being made with respect to their physical security arrangements

and Simms mentioned that both Don Moore of the USIB Security
Committee, and the FBI, and Charles Kane, our Director of
Security, have reviewed their facilities and approved them. He
did indicate, however, that they were planning to either augment
or change their facilities to another location and there there would
be further discussions with our security people about those
arrangements. I told both Boos and Simms that they were dealing
with the right people on this subject and I also suggested that
sometime next week Mr. Knoche and I get together with Boos,
and hopefully with Searle Field. I told Mr. Boos of Mr. Nedzi's
thought about an open session with the Director soon after Congress
returns from the Memorial Day recess and I said I would be taking the
subject up with the Director but I thought he would welcome the
opportunity fora .limited appearance in open session.
