Julian Eixglestad, staffers of th,e Senate Select Committee on 25X1
Ethics, visited Headquarters in 'con ection with the requests

OLC/C?~R, and the undersigned. These staffers came vice
A-Ir. Don Sanders, Special Counsel, as originally planned.' 25X1
2. Aiessrs. Marshall and Englestad are new personalities
on the scene in this case as far as CIA is concerned. They
stated they were formerly tivith the FBI, and Mr: P,4arshall said
]ie had previously worked with ivi~r. George Cary on another leaks
investigation.
3. These staffers were read the replies to the memoran-
dum of request dated 9 March. The only question they had
relating to this information was. why they tivould not be meeting
with former Chiefs of Station, etc. per paragraphs 6 and 7 of
the Sanders memorandum. It was explained that, in some cases,
the Chiefs of Station are under cover, and that since it is
not the Agency which is being investigated, in this case, we
preferred to protect the identity of these employees and that
t}iis was the procedure in the Iviemoran.dum of Understanding
agreed to by CIA and the Committee. It was reiterated that

4. Referencing Tab A, the staffers were shown
further sanitized version of the material. Alessrs.
and of OLC, decided that references byname of
SSCI members or staffers should be sanitized out, but they
would be provided orally s}io~uld the staffers feel this
information was essential. A1r. Sanders agreed to this
procedure; lIl fact, the staffers did ask for a number of the
names, and they were provided. {Those provided are marked by
an ":X" in the. Tab A sanitized version.).
the notes on that page. They were given the classification
stamps and;did their own classifying, but from observation,
appeared that this was done correctly. The notes then mere
sealed in an envelope to be placed unopened inside another
envelope and sent to them via courier by OLC.
5: Referencing Tab B material, the staffers asked iahether
these were alI of the inquiries from the press on the Panama
items. In t~iis connection, .they; also asked whether the Public
Affairs office keeps a record of all media requests. They were .
told that we believe this to be a1T media inquiries applicaUle
to the request, however, OLC will double check this with the
Public Affairs office for the period 13-29 September 1977.
6. D4essrs: tilarshall and Englestad were advised that their
notes would be classified prior to leaving the Headquarters
building and that per the Memorandum of Understanding, we would
not review the notes. They were told that each sheet of paper
containing notes would receive the highest classification of
7. The staffers were also advised that their notes should
not be verbatim copies of the documents. (They also understood
that they could not have xerox copies of the documents.)-
B1r: N}arshal.l took copious notes, but since we do not review the
notes, we have no way of telling whether they were verbatim.
