He had told us no mention would be made of CIA photographic or telephone operations in Mexico. This.obviously raises the question directly. 2. At a meeting yesterday afternoon with one of the senior staff members, Mr. Goldsmith, I complained about this, observing that there was a commitment to avoid such mention.

I said we could not approach the press, but HSCA should be aware of how alert the press is to such thifigs. 4.
