SUBJECT Telecon with G. Robert Blakey, 5 December 1978
1. I called-Blakey to solicit his comments on the
security situation in his office and to ask what he planned
for the future after the termination of the present security
staff. His comment was, "Don't worry about it.... the function
will be assumed by someone else." He later indicated that
Tom Howarth, the finance officer, may be appointed to assume
the security duties. I said that I wanted to see his plan
for security coverage, anyway. He passed on again with
"Don't worry about it."
2. Blakey then explained his planning for delivery to
us of the Findings and Conclusions Report.
11-12 December 1978 HSCA will deliver to us a complete
rough draft of the Findings and
Conclusions Report.
They expect us to informally review
that Report for:
1. Accuracy... in our judgment.
2. Suitability for declassification.
18 December 1978 HSCA-needs our informal comments
on the above Findings and Conclu-
sions Report. GRB wants these
comments to be given only to him.
He does not want us to "lobby" the
Members of the Committee with in-
formal comments!
22 December 1978 Committee meets to vote on Report.
GRB communicates our informal
.comments to Committee before vote.

26-27 December 1978 HSCA delivers final version of
Findings and Conclusions Report
to us for review for SECURITY.
GRB asked for a fast turn-around
..suggesting 48 hours. I re-
minded him of the 5 days and he
agreed.
31 December 1978 GRB/HSCA must turn in copy of
Report to Speakers Office.
January-February 1979 HSCA will continue to deliver
drafts of various sections for
informal review and comment.
3. Re:. Car.lucci's testimony, ll.December 1978. Blakey
will NOT introduce the witness with a "narration." He does
not need a biography. He expects the members to ask
"philosophical" Q/As ....... no specifics!
