Senate Select Committee Requests for Witnesses
on Operational Substance -- Issues Raised -


     1.  The Senate Select Committee has not'yet actually
scheduled DDO staffers who are now on active duty, but  a
specific request has been made to talk .with James Kelly
of EA Division regarding the assassination plot against
Chou en Lai.  The SSC has also expressed interest in
several DDO staffers, including Robert Owen and Nestor
Sanchez of LA Division,                currently a Career
Associate, and Bronson Tweedy, who is on short-term contract
in Headquarters.  We have been able to hold off actual
scheduling of substantive operational conversations pending
a resolution on how to .handle covert action material.  FR
Division is standing by to appear for a non-operational
briefing covering organization,  mission, etc.

     2.  Attached hereto is a Senate Select  Committee
document entitled Outline for Inquiry Procedures which
represents the Committee's own ground rules.

     3.  According to this attachment, witnesses or
interviewees will fall into two categories:

     a.  Those discussing information on  the structure
         and functions of CIA plus substantive work,
         including the legal basis.of DDO  activity and
         the approval process;  the capacities of CIA
         and its responsibility to provide  information
         for other government entities.   In this category,
         a CIA representative may be present  at the inter-
         view.

     b.  Those who will be  asked questions regarding CIA -
         or Executive Branch  abuses or other controversial,
         specific matters where  improprieties may.have
         occurred.   In this category, a CIA representative
         may not be present unless  an exception is negotiated.
