17. (Internal. Use Only - LLM) LIAISON Called Tim Hardy,
White House staff, concerning the ICG meeting held yesterday and
said in the far ranging discussion where it had been determined that
there would not be a moratorium until. a time certain within the Executive
Branch before the destruction of improperly collected records, I
suggested that he raise with Jack Marsh, Counsellor to the President,
the desirability of someone in Justice or the. White house making a
general statement of the type of records which will be destroyed and
why,and the records which will not be destroyed and why, to counter the
distortions which are being built up on the Hill and in the press on this
issue. Hardy said he would. do this.

20. (Unclassified - LLM) LIAISON In response to Eric Hirschhorn, s,
Counsel, Subcommittee on Government Information & Individual Rights,
House Gover r ons Committee, earlier call, spoke to
i ngram, Staff Director, and Ted Jacobs, Staff Member, who had
a number of questions on the Director's letters to Senators Mike
Mansfield (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 H.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.
Internal Use Only - PLC) LIAISON Received a call from
FBI. Daley passed on for our information his receipt of a lette_~TAT
from C airman Daniel Inouye (D. , Hawaii), Senate Select Committee
on Intelligence, requesting background investigations on staff. personnel
Filer 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 making. 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 only
reviewing for declassification. After a discussion with TAT
Deputy Inspector General, I called Daley back and infore 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 STAT
reviews the assassins io.z report tomorrow.
