Approved For Release 2008/12/05: CIA-RDP86M00886RO01800050014-6 Central intelligence Agency Washingun. D. C. 20505 OLL 84-4331 The Honorable Barry M. Goldwater Chairman Select Committee on Intelligence United States Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 I understand that, following Senator Frank Church's death, his papers were given to Boise State University. I am concerned about the probability that classified intelligence information is included in Senator Church's files. I understand further that among those who have considered this problem are the Senate Historian, the Senate Legal Counsel and the Director of the General Services Administration's Information Security Oversight office, Steven Garfinkel. I'm told that the bulk of the former Church Committee papers were acquired by and are today controlled by the SSCI; the papers at issue at Boise State were not, as I understand it, Committee papers but were part of Senator Church's personal file. I would appreciate any assistance that you and your staff might render in determining whether classified intelligence information is in fact in the collection and, if so, how best to deal with the issue. Sincerely, William J.
