MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: Meeting with Mr. Blakey
1. Mr. Leader and Inmet with Mr. Blakey and Mr. Cummins for
about an hour this afternoon.
2. I told Mr. Blakey that I had spoken to the IG and he in-
formed me that we are authorized to give Mr. Cornwall access to the
unsanitized version of the comments on the Schweiker Report, subject
to his signing the same agreement signed by Mr. Blakey.
3. I took the occasion.to emphasize again our uneasiness with
some of the information exposed in the report. I reiterated same
of the detail about persons in Cuba, as well as technical operations.
Reference was made once more to the effect on various reign]
if details of were t-be
revea ed. I expressed the opinion that the basic story could be told,
where it was judged appropriate to discuss a given subject, without
revealing sensitive sources and methods. I said that our work with the
Church Committee had been generally successful in this respect, and
that language could usually be worked out that would convey the story
while still protecting sources and techniques.
4. Mr. Blakey indicated that at this point he felt that a number
of issues in our paper would prove irrelevant to his investigation.
I told him that I was of the opinion that a number of them are irrele-
vant to the issue, but that we were addressing the Schweiker Report
rather than the broader issue. He indicated that he was specifically
interested in the airplane flight that had been treated in the Schweiker
Report, but that depending on how his investigation developed it might
become irrelevant as well. . For instance, if he concluded that right-wing
Cubans and criminal elements were responsible for the assassination a
flight to Cuba ceased to have meaning. However, if there was occasion
to comment on that particular flight they would like to review the basis
for our treatment of the subject.
5. I expressed the hope that Mr. Cornwall would not need a number
of people to do the work for him, as we wished very much to hold down
the number of persons familiar with some of the operational -detail. He
stated that he too wished to hold down the number.. I expressed the hope
