         MEMORANDUM FOR:  Director of Central  Intelligence

         VIA:             Director of Training  and Education
                          Director, Center for the  Study of Intelligence

         FROM:            J. Kenneth McDonald
                          Chief, CIA History Staff

         SUBJECT:         Survey of CIA's Records  from House Select
                          Committee on Assassinations  Investigation


             1.  As you requested on  16 January, the History Staff has
         now surveyed CIA's records from the House  Select Committee on
         Assassinations  (HSCA) investigation into the assassination of
         President John F. Kennedy.  As promised  in my 30 January
         interim report, I can now give you  a full account of our
         findings, and of my  recommendation for transferring this HSCA
         collection at its existing classification  to the National
         Archives through CIA's Historical Review  Program.

             2.  After the Office of Congressional Affairs  arranged
         permission from Congress  for History Staff access to the
         sequestered 64 boxes of this collection, we  examined these and
         other related holdings  at Headquarters and the L
         Recor    e     . As a  result of careful, persistent, and
         determined inquiries, we  are fairly confident--alfhough by no
         means certain--that we have seen  all the documents that CIA
         collected for the HSCA  investigation of 1977-1979. The  summary
         of our findings which follows is documented  in more detail in
         attachments A and B.

             3.  General Description:  The HSCA  collection (defined as
         all records that the CIA provided  to that Committee for its
         1977-1979 investigation)  is a large and chaotic collection.
         Beyond the 64 boxes sequestered by Congress  that have been
         involved in FOIA  litigation, there are 16 boxes of Oswald's 201
         file and numerous  loose folders (mainly from Mexico City
         Station records) that were collected  for the Warren Commission
         investigation.  Most of  this material can be found on microfilm
         in the sequestered collection.  Of  the 64 boxes, 34 have
         material collected by  the Directorate of Operations, while

                                                               CL BY b986542)
