MEMORANDUM FOR: Admiral Inman
SUBJECT : Former DCI Turner's Memorandums of Conversation
(MemCons)
25X1 1. On the eve of Mr. Casey's he asked to
see a sample of ten MemCons (XI Turner had with the President, Secretary of
State, Secretary of Defense, and Dr. Brzezinski. These, of course, were
provided.
25X1
2. I am not sure that I've told you that Admiral Turner created
1100 pages of MemCons with the above four principals. I had these papers
assembled as if they were five books and then prepared a Table of Contents
against approximately 300 subjects. With Mr. Casey's formal approval,
Admiral Turner has been in three or four times to review these volumes as
well as other files he had set aside for future reference by the DCI and
DDCI. He is quite satisfied with what I've done in this regard and when
last here he said he did not intend to return for the purpose of reviewing
the material. Enclosed for your perusal are the Table of Contents for his
various MemCons.

Frank:
1. In early December we spoke about the files Admiral Turner asked
be segregated for his review and retention here. You phoned him and asked
if this could be done for you as well and he agreed. This task, awesome as
it was, has now been completed. Admiral Turner has been out twice to review
these holdings. With his usual thoroughness he plans to return but is quite
pleased with the work we've done.
2. Attached is a sensitive, though unclassified, list of files assembled.
Files 1-4 contain your material whenever you were Acting DCI. Files 35 and
46 are particularly relevant to your role. If any additional topics occur to
you for this special treatment, please pass the word to Jay and I'll take care
of it. I've asked Jay to elaborate on the attached list where my description
is guarded.
3. The sensitive topic folders will be placed in sealed envelopes,
labeled as follows:
"t.Access is limited to DCI, DOC, Executive Secretary,
and C/ER upon direction from the undersigned. If
copies of any of the enclosed material are made, a
note should be appended to the document detailing DCI,
DOCI, or Executive Secretary authorization and dissemi-
nation." B. C. Evans
4. Mr. Casey is aware of this effort and appreciates the value it may
be to him in the future.

I reviewed the attached, which was
prepared byl with Admiral Turner
yesterday. He found it quite satisfactory.
I am not sure you coordinated it with the
DDA but presume he will have no problem with
it. In discussing it with the Director, I
mentioned that either Mr. Wortman, the General
Counsel, or myself would present it to a new
DCI shortly after his arrival.
