SUBJECT: Conversation with Emily Sheketoff, Staff
Member of House Select Committee
1. On 24 October 1975, together with STAT
JCI Staff, I briefed Ms. Sheketoff on e CIA
programs designed to prevent penetration by hostile
intelligence services.
2. Ms. Sheketoff was advised in some detail of
the applicant processing program of the Agency which in-
cludes background investigation and a polygraph interview.
STAT
3. At the conclusion'of the above remarks, Ms.
Sheketoff inquired concerning the program of the Office of
Security which would identify the "CIA within the CIA."
When asked to explain what this statement meant, Ms.
Sheketoff stated that it referred to the intergroup of
old CIA officers who, working together, would "take over
CIA" in the event Mr. Colby were replaced by someone not
i;o the liking of this intergroup. I declined to discuss
this subject even theoretically, at which time Ms. Sheketoff
stated that everyone knew about the "CIA within the CIA"
revealed in the movie "Three Days of the Condor." The
meeting ended on this note.

13. At the conclusion of the tour of the Headquarters
Security Branch offices, Ms. Hess was invited to chat for a
few minutes in the interest of exploring other areas in which
the Agency may be helpful. Ms. Hess advised that she was
pleased with the results of her visit and could think of no
other items of concern for the moment but indicated that she
would like to maintain an open communications line. It was
agreed that this would be very desirable and of mutual benefit.
In view of a problem cited by Mr. Field during the 29
August visit to the Rayburn Building, Irequested 25X1
clarification as to Ms. Hess' wishes relative to e ivery of
materials to her office. Ms. Hess stated that there are
four persons who may accept and receipt for classified
materials delivered by an Agency courier. -These are listed
as follows in the order of preference.
Ms. Jacqueline Hess
Ms. Karen Andrade
Mr. Serale Field
Mr. Donner
Ms. Hess, however, emphasized that she prefers not to have
either Messrs. Field or Donner bothered with this chore
except in "an emergency". The bona fides of these individuals
should be established by the Agency courier by having the
individuals display their House Committee identification card..
14. The visit was terminated at approximately 1420 hours
and Ms. Hess was escorted to her automobile.

SUBJECT: House Select Committee on Intelligence
1. On 27 August 1975, in response to numerous attempts
to reach him, Mr. Searle Field returned my call and invited
me to visit with him in his office at 0900 hours on 29
August. I suggested to Mr. Field that it would be appropri-
ate for him at that time to also talk with Mr
Chairman of the USIB Security Committee, and
representative of the Physical Security Division, Office of
Security to conduct a physical security survey of his new
space in the Rayburn Building.
2. In addition, I suggested to Mr. Field there were
a number of other security concerns which I would like to
address. He indicated that he was pressed for time and would
prefer to discuss all outstanding security issues during
our meeting on Friday.
3. I thanked Mr. Field for the call and promised to
meet him on the time and date indicated.

SUBJECT: Conversation with Searle Field
I had a long talk with Seale Field this morning on a
number of subjects. The most significant was that the
House Select Committee will be~.i.rl its public hearings
again on September 17. Field indicated that these would be
''operational level hearings " in which some Agency people
would be called. The format would be the same, i.e.,
public sessions for as much as possible and then executive
session. The third set of hearings wou:Ld; according to
Field, include the investigation and they would be
held at the end of the year, with the return to the
witness stand of those who had testified during the
first two weeks. Field said he would give us as much
notice as possible with respect to Agency witnesses.
The next problem Field raised dealt with the
potential for intimidation of the witnesses. His
concern was with the requirement that Agency employees
write a memorandum for the record after they had been
interviewed by the House Select Committee staffers. Field
pointed out that while in the majority of cases this
caused no problem, there were individuals who volunteered
information relating to other persons and that these Agency
employees feared retribution. I pointed out to Field
that this created a bit of a problem for us since there
have been numerous requests over the last three years
for information regarding wrong doings or impropriety.
Field coupled the above concern with the requirement that
an Agency representative sit in during all interviews.
He is aware of the Senate Select Committee's position developing
a dicatomy between investigative interviews and abuse
interviews and wants to develop something comprobable for
the House Select Committee.
I suggested to Field that we could probably work
out some arrangement where such volunteer witnesses could
indicate ahead of time that they did not require "counsel."
Field thought something like that might be satisfactory and
underscored the fact that the vast'majority of the interviews
did not raise this issue.

We talked about Ed Roeders' leaving the House Select
Committee staff and the problems that might be raised
in this context. At Mr. Blake's request I asked Field to
talk to Mr. Gambino with respect to a debriefing of Roeder
upon his termination. Field said he would be happy to
talk to Gambino with respect to this and would be willing
to show horn around their facilities on Friday. I used
the occasion of the discussion of interviews to point out that
some of the reports back from Agency employees did not
reflect well on House Select Committee staffers. For
example, one of the detailees to NSC -- a secretary -- was
asked if she knew any atomic secrets or how to make the
atom bomb. Field reacted ', as I had hoped, by being
quite critical of such foolishness. He asked if we would
report back any similar "bad judgment."

MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: House Select Committee on Intelligence
1. I contacted Mr. A. Serle Field, Staff Director of
the House Committee on Intelligence, early on the morning
of 4 August 1975 to discuss with him the Director's appear-
ance before the Committee on that date. I reminded Mr.
Field of a potential problem which occurred the previous
Friday when the office discovered that the individuals
recording the Committee hearings were not cleared for corn--
partmented information. I asked Mr. Field if he would take
the necessary action to insure that the persons recording
the Director's testimony, if in executive session, be cleared
for TOP SECRET and indoctrinated for codeword material.
2. Mr. Field advised that he would immediately take
such steps as necessary to comply with my request. He in-
quired as to the usual procedure for handling transcripts
when the Director briefed a committee of the Congress. He
was informed that a representative of this office accompanies
the recorders until such time as the notes are fully trans-
cribed. At that time the notes and the transcription are
placed in the custody of representatives of this office and
returned to Headquarters building for overnight storage, as
appropriate. The following day they are delivered to the
appropriate committee Chairman via the Agency's Office of
Legislative Counsel. I suggested that this procedure be
followed during the Director's appearance before the Com-
mittee. As an alternative, I suggested that he may desire
to keep the notes within his secure space and have them
transcribed there. In any event, I offered the assistance of
this office in helping him provide appropriate security for
this material.

SUBJECT: Conversation with Searle Field
l.- This morning I had as conversation with Searle
Field growing out of the matters raised at the policy
steering group on the afternoon of July 30.
2. With respect to transcripts, we discussed the
appropriate security arrangements that will be made
regarding the transcripts of executive sessions. Field
seemed quite aware of the need to protect such documents.
I explained to him that as we go further into hearings
there may be some special procedures that we would
suggest regarding particularly sensitive areas. He
acknowledged this to be the case and we would discuss
it further as we went along.
4. Finally I pointed out that the recent request
we had received from House Select Committee staffers
Roeder and Sheketoff used January 1, 1960 as the starting
date for documents in a number of requests and with respect
to proprietaries, 'I'since the establishment of the ;lgency."
I pointed out to Field that the Chairman at our first
meeting used 1 January 1960 but reversed hiriself the
followin(-) day and used 1 January 1961 as a starting point.
Field said he would look into it and as an aisid . tat the
1 January 1961 date gave the committee the ability to
examine two republican and two democratic administrations
and consequently was probably the date that Congressman
Pike :intended. Field also volunteered that }ho would, at
least at the outset, have his staff requests 'k.unnelled
through him before they came over to us-

SUBJECT: House Select Committee on Intelligence
1. On 29 July 1975 Ml land the under-
signed met with Mr. Searle Field, s twit Director, House
Select Committee on Intelligence, in his office, Room 433,
Cannon Building, Washington, D. C. The above group was
joined after a few minutes of conversation by Mr. Jonathan
Flint.
2. Mr. Field initiated the conversation by indicating
that he hoped relations between the Agency and the Committee
in the future would not be as difficult as they appear to be
at the present time. He noted that he personally felt it to
be very unfortunate that the Chairman's position is so rigid.
He. indicated further that it is his profound hope that during
the meeting scheduled for the afternoon of 29 July a compro-
mise will be worked out between the DCI and Chairman Pike.
25X1
3. Mr. Field then assuredi and the under- 25X1
signed of his earnest desire to establish a very secure
environment in which to store materials which the Committee
will acquire during the course of their investigation. He
indicated that he has a very limited budget but, to the
extent possible, will utilize the budget to enhance the
security posture of the Committee's storage area. He asked
for suggestions with reference to improvement of physical
security and document control.
4. He advised that the permanent location of their
security facility will be in the Rayburn Building, but they
will not have access to this space until sometime after the
5th of August. He asked if a representative of the Agency
would review the space prior to occupancy and make sugges-
tions concerning improvement. I acknowledged that the Agency
would be very happy to examine the space and to cooperate in
any way to assist him in achieving the best security possible
under the circumstances.

5. I Iexplained to Mr. Field that as Chairman
of the Security ommittee, USIB, he is a focal point for
Community-wide matters which relate to security. In this
regard, he showed Mr. Field a copy of the document which
had been distributed throughout the Intelligence Community
containing the names of the Senat Staff- the types of
clearances, and biographic data. pointed out 25X1
that he hoped to be of service to the Community in similar
fashion by providing this type of information to other
members. I noted also that CIA maintains a Compartmented
Information Branch which as atserviee of common concern
provides confirmation of clearances to other members of the
Intelligence Community. It was explained that each member
of the House Select Committee Staff who was cleared and
briefed could be added to the CIB index. In this manner,
Mr. Field would need to discuss clearances in the compart-
mented field with only one agency, the other agencies
confirming the clearances through CIB records.
6. Mr. Field furnished a copy of the Committee's
rules and a draft of Document Security Procedures (attached).
The latter has not been approved by the Chairman. He went
on to explain that initially only himself and two other
staff members would be eligible to receipt for classified
documents. Until further notice, all classified documents
should be delivered to Mr. Searle Field, telephone [phone],
Room 433, Cannon Building, and Mr. John Boos, telephone
225-9381, and Mr. Johathan Flint, telephone [phone],
Room 232, Cannon Building. He requested, prior to delivery
of documents, a telephone call be made to ensure one of the
above would be available to receive them. He noted that he
intended to treat all compartmented information and other
documents of unusual interest as "SENSITIVE." All other
documents will be handled as indicated in the Document
Security Procedures as "CLASSIFIED."
7. and the undersigned were then invited
to visit e current temporary storage facility which is
located in Room 232, Cannon Building. This room is the
typical office in the Cannon Building and is entered by a
common wooden door fitted with glass transom. The door is
secured by a mortise lock and spring deadbolt which is
mechanically or electrically activated. The room contains

seeing. He stated that he wouici very muc like to visa ,
however, would prefer to wait until a permanent Security
Officer is selected.
10. In summary, Mr. Field appeared to be sincerely
interested in establishing procedures and a physical
security environment which would provide a high degree
of protection to the materials entrusted to his care. He
and his staff are obviously not very knowledgeable in
security disciplines but seem to be conscious of this
deficiency and willing to accept constructive criticism
and suggestions. I look forward to working with Mr. Field
and will be happy to assist him in any way.

Step 3: Categorization and Filing of Documents:
SENSITIVE documents will remain in the limited-access
segregated secure area. A Documents Control Clerk will be reespon-
sible for maintaining a log of materials received and for
controlling access to the SENSITIVE documents as described in
Section II below. The documents will be categorized by star;
members designated by_ the .St:aff Director. The documents will be
categorized in the frannework; of the investigative outline for
the relevant agency task force. Separate annotated indexes for
materials received from each agency will be maintained. The
indexes will indicate for the Documents Control Clergy: the
location of the materials in the secure area.
CLASSIFIED documents will be stored in the central files.
These files will be placed in high security safes in a segregated
secure area. (Access to the central files is outlined in. Section
II below.) Preceding categorization, the documents .will be
entered on an annotated acquisitions list. The list- will indicate
the source of the material, a description of the material and
