THE la1l.l:C;TOI OF CENT1 AI. INTELLIGE=NCE-:
C)ffice of lcgislafive Counsel
11 September 1.978
Mr. C. Robert Blakey
Chief counsel and. Director
House Select Co,nmitt:ee on Assassinat:i.ons
Washington, D. C. 20515
Dear Mt. Blakey:
This note is to remind you that at our meeting on
23 August you had requested our assistance i.n.reviewing
certain materials derived from sensitive sources, in order
to ascertain whether they could be used in public hearings
that the Committee planned for 18 September. As you will.
recall, our :first reaction was that we may well have no
objections to certain uses of photography, although some
special processing may be required before public use.
We felt, however, there probably would be problems with
certain records of conversations. We requested that we
have sufficient lead time in* which to consider all those
materials should you decide you might wish to use them.
We did agree that there would be no use of these materials
until we had reviewed them and agreed to their use, and
the manner of that use if we agreed.
It is noted from your letter of 31 August, that you
plan for Mr. Helms to testify the last week of September.
We had understood from our meeting on 23 August that you
had planned for him to testify the same d.a.y .that a senior.
Agency person would do so, on 21 September. As the last
week in September commences on Sunday, 24 September it
would he appreciated if you could advise us if there has
been a change in your schedule.
I am sure that you are very busy with the hearings, so
this letter has been marked Priority to ensure that your
staff brings it to your attention. Time-could be critical
in any review of the special materials, and we would not
wish to have your planning thrown off by otherwise manage-
able factors.
