MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD -3
SUBJECT: Discussion. with William G. Miller, Staff Director,
Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations
With Respect to Intelligence Activities, 25 Feb 75
1. Called Miller to advise the current status of the Baker
files. He had asked earlier that we determine how best to move
those files over to the jurisdiction of the Senate Select Committee.
2. I advised that the files are still in the control of Mr. Murphy
of the Joint Committee and that Mr. Cannon of the Rules Committee
had asked that they be transferred to his jurisdiction. When that
transfer is complete the Senate Select Committee can ask the Rules
Committee for a ruling to transfer the files to the Senate Select
Committee jurisdiction. Miller stated this was also his understanding
and is responsive to his needs. He advised that the Committee, as of
now, does not have the physical security facilities to accommodate
these files, and that they had met on the security ground rules I had
provided to him and wanted to comply.
3. I explained that should there be bureaucratic or jurisdic-
tional problems relating to the Baker files, the originals, of course,
were in the Central Intelligence Agency and that I stood ready to
.provide a separate copy to the Senate Select Committee if he so
desired. He seemed to appreciate this gesture but at the moment
felt it was not necessary to duplicate them. I then expressed the
thought that some arrangement could be worked out so that both
Senate and House investigators could jointly screen information.
This would reduce the redundancy and actual duplication of file material.
He stated he was prepared to work along these lines when Mr. Nedzi's
staff director was appointed and agreed in principle that we should
do all possible to keep the,two Committees' procedural arrangements
in sync.
