2U. (Unclassified LCM) I.:CAISON I.e response to Eric IIirschhornts,
Counsel, Subcommittee on Government- Information & Individual Rights,
I-louse Government Operations Committee, earlier call, spoke to
Tim Ingram, Staff Director, and Ted Jacobs, Staff Member, who had
/Mansfield a number of questions on the Director's letters to Senators Mike
(D. , Mont.) and Hugh Scott (R., Pa.). I said. Ithought the
letters were clear in their views and as they knew a, number of the
records of greatest concern to the Subcommittee were covered by
these letters as not being subject to destruction with the lifting of the
moratorium because of litigation, Department of Justice investigations,
etc. In connection with their concern that records may be destroyed
which need further investigation, I respectfully disagreed. I also
disagreed with Ingram' s thought that maybe the Director had made a
commitment during his appearance before the Subcommittee on
28 April that he would not destroy records covered by Il. R. 12039.
Rather, I said the Director made it clear, as had Mr. Colby, that
records improperly collected and of no further use for retention. or
investigation, litigation etc. , that they should not be maintained and is a
requirement of the Privacy Act and of Executive Order 11905. At the
outset I made it clear that I did not want my remarks to be passed on
to the press.
21. (Internal Use Only -- PLC) LIAISON Received a call from
FBI. Daley passed on for our infor.rnation. his- receipt of a letter
from Chairman Daniel Inouye (.D. , Hawaii), Senate Select Committee
on Intelligence, requesting background investigations on staff. personnel
Eiler Ravnholt and Sharon Yoshimura. The FBI is reviewing the draft
Select Committee report on assassinations and according'to Daley, staff
member Jim Johnston, has requested that the Bureau. certify that the -
report is accurate. Johnston claimed that CIA will be naki:ng. such a
certification after its review. He asked that I check into this since the
Bureau does not feel that it can make such a certification. The are onl
reviewing for declassification. After a discussion with.
Deputy Inspector General, I called Daley back and informed him that
the Agency has never made such a certification in its reviews of reports
and will so make it clear to Mr. Johnston when he
reviews 7 assassinatlo i report ton-lorrow..
