MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
i
SUBJECT Meeting with HSCA's Blakey, et al
25X1 1. I land I met with Mr. Blakey at his
office or about an hour this afternoon. Messrs. Goldsmith
and Cornwell joined us during the meeting. The primary
purpose of the visit was to inspect the area being provided
for Agency-derived material, where it can be stored under
Agency control for use by HSCA staffers in writing their
report. It is to serve the same purpose as that of an
Agency controlled area at Headquarters, where some HSCA
staffers plan to work on notes and materials in writing
their report.
2. HSCA staffers can bring their documents and papers
into the new area, and take them with them when they depart.
However, they will bring no note paper with them, and any
notes or writing done there will be left there; to facili-
tate identification of paper involved in such work the
Agency has provided distinctively marked paper (legal pads,
typewriter paper, legal-size folders) that will be used
exclusively for notes and work that will remain there.
Eventually, upon completion of the report, all working
papers (not formal HSCA memoranda of interviews, HSCA
transcripts of hearings or depositions and HSCA documents)
will be destroyed. During the work. period materials held in
the special CIA work area will be stored in an Agency con-
trolled-safe operated by a CIA employee, who will issue
materials and retrieve them with proper control logs.
Mr. Blakey feels that for the present one CIA representative
will suffice to meet work requirements, but in a week's time
plans should be made for another person to be.ready to
assist in keeping the area open for longer hours and work-
weeks.
3. We inquired about progress in considering a
formula for getting answers from agents to HSCA questions.
This led to a philosophical exchange, but Mr. Blakey left
a pessimistic impression. A separate memorandum will be
