MEDIA REPORT RE CIA CONTRACT EMPLOYEE
A media report today suggests that there was something sinister involving the
Agency and the files of the House Assassinations Committee. I want to assure you
that this is simply not the case. Our investigations revealed an error in judgment by a
contract employee serving as a custodian for CIA material with the Committee. He
acted alone and out of curiosity, and was dismissed.
