I met with Mr. Blakey this morning shortly after 7:30 a.m. We met together with Rodger Gabrielson until we went to a meeting with DDCI Carlucci at 8:45 a.m., returning for another 10 minutes or so following the meeting with Carlucci. This memorandum records the highlights of discussions before and after Blakey met with Carlucci, which is the subject of a separate memorandum. 2. I started by saying that the problem that was pending is one of principle in the protection of intelligence sources and methods. We did not feel it appropriate to have clandestine agents interviewed.

We talked about the interview of a former agent in7 I attributed the failure of the HSCA to notify us of this to Danlardway's failure to understand what he had when he reviewed the file. I said that we understood their interest in the man as a right-wing Cuban terrorist but explained our sensitivity because of our past use of him in I said that we had been told that the man had not told the HSCA investigators anything. 4. Blakey argued the HSCA rationale for looking at the Mexico City Station. He said that the HSCA charter included investigation into how the Station was run. I opined that he would have difficulty judging the Station. Its mission was to operate against the Cuban and Soviets.
