    Request far CJiance  in ResVaning to Neva Sedia Inquiries


         1*  As in apparent in Va attached coy  of a new Orleas angi
    zie  artiee,  formei District Attorney Jim Garrisoa and his Kennedy
    assassination theories are enjoring a reviival of interest by local
    news media.  It is possible that the New OrIeans R.O. my be co-
    tacted by newmen  for  urents an Garrison's charges, especially in
    light of the recent dishesures of facts Vich were not made avail-
    able to the-Warren Canntasion. In the absence of more specific
    flea4quirters guidance, we intend to respond to any such iaquiries
    by    i4  that Mr. Garrisn's charges of CIA involvement in the
    Kmedy  assassination were fblae when he first made them in 1966,
    and they are still absurd toWay, and v6 prefer not to cauent
    furtrer* You  Wa be able to suggeat a better response than that,
    and if so we hope you will share your thoughta with us.

        2.  we are samewhat moe concerned about how we should respond
   to any direct questions conceraing the Agency's relationship with
            , wbo as you know was unsuccessfully prosecuted by Garrison
   for conspiring to assassinate President Kennedy. Shaw, whom Garrison
   refers to as a CIA employee and who died about two years ago, was an
   active contact of hunter Leake's, during the period 19l1956, pre-
   sunably as a roaine source of FPI.  Despite the 3  ame-old can-
   tacts recorded an Shav's contact card, however, his local file
   contains only three pieces of innocuous correspondence.

        3.  Since we cannot deton-ade the nature of DCD's relationship
  with  Shw from cur files, we voud  appreciate your sunroarizing it
  for us.  We' vould also, of ecurse, welcome your guidance in responding
  to any nesa  eia  questions about our relations with Shin, shaould they
  materialize.
