6 THIRD AGENCY Called Ron Heller,
Office of Legislative Affairs, FBI, regarding the Bureau's request for
CIA concurrence in the provision of FBI documents containing CIA
information to the Subcommittee on International Organizations, House
International Relations Committee. Heller said that the Subcommittee
staff was contending that they had already seen the documents in their
entirety, and that there should be no impediment to supplying them. I
told Heller that while it was possible that the Subcommittee staff had
seen the FBI documents somewhere, they had seen only sanitized versions
of the CIA reports to the FBI upon which the FBI documents were based.
I told Heller that we felt strongly that the CIA information in the FBI
documents should not be provided in unsanitized form. I told him that we
would work on sanitizing the CIA information and return the documents to
the Bureau. I also asked Heller to check as to why we received only the
first page of several of the documents involved, and as to whether the
Bureau planned to make the documents available to the Subcommittee under
the provisions of the Memorandum of Understanding between the Justice
Department and the Subcommittee that was agreed to on 1 March 1978. Heller
promised to get back in touch with me on these questions.
