25X1
During the DCI's appearance before HAC last week, the DCI
agreed to provide the names of the participants in the NSC
meeting of December 1985, where the risks associated with the
Iran operation were discussed. I would appreciate your
furnishing a list of these names so that it may be incorporated
into the transcript.
You should also provide a copy of the report the Director
recently received from Adnan Khashoggi on reconciliation
between Iran and the U.S. The Director promised to make this
report available to several committees.
I will also be sending you a copy of the transcript of 25X1
the hearing for the DCI's review and correction. I will note
on the transmittal slip the page numbers where there was an
apparent error of fact.
