               COMMENTS ON HSCA REPORTS RECEIVED 26 JANUARY 1979


       This new package consists of two drafts, one is a 14 page
  draft concerning a Cuban-American, followed by footnotes.  The
  other is a discussion of whether Oswald had any CIA or other
  connections; the pagination of thi.s draft was uncertain and I
  re-numbered the pages, totalling 108 in all.  (U)

  I.  Cuban-American

       This draft shows the HSCA attempt to sanitize.  They have
  designated LITEMPO/4 to be deleted.  They have proposed to delete the
  word City in order to change .Mexico City Station into a more
  general Mexico Station.  The Warren Commission report, I think,
  makes some reference to it so we may have a problem on how to handle
  it. These  references recur on pages 3-5.  References to the Monterray
  Base, also to be deleted, appear on pages 5 and 6.  The name of the
  subject of the report. Lopez, appears on every page of this section
  from page 2 on. We  should consider whether we object to this.  (C)

      While LITEMPO/4 is  indicated for deletion, LIFIRE is not (see
 pages 2, 3, and 4).  Does this make any difference or should we request
 the same treatment as given LITEMPO?  (C)

      Does the references on page 4 to a photograph of Lopez really
 compromise anything?  There are further references on page 4.  More
 specific references on page 3 are marked for deletion.  (C)

      What is the reference on page 6 to LAM/Fl?  (U)

      On page 7 there is talk about FBI information on Lopez.  While
 we haven't a direct interest in FBI material, this does relate to the
 subject which takes us back to the original question of whether we
 object giving the name of Lopez.  (C)

      On page 10 CIA's not giving the Warren Commission information on
Lopez is described as egregious.  While.we think the report that first
seemed  to give him significance is a very poor report, the HSCA view is
that  we should have passed it on anyway.  We can say.that CIA did what
intelligence  agencies always do, evaluate the report and not disseminate
it  if it doesn't have merit, but I don't think that argument would go
very  far.  I am inclined to not take exception to the HSCA description
