 MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD

 SUBJECT:  Discussions with G. Robert Blakey,  Chief Counsel and
             Director, HSCA


         1.  Messrs. William Sturbitts, DDO/LA;  Dale Sumption- DDO/SE;
 Julian Fox, CI Staff; Jack Sullivan, OS;  Russ Holmes, and I met with
 Mr. Blakey this morning to discuss substantive  issues in the final
 HSCA Committee Report.

         2.  I don't think we made many points although  Mr. Blakey
 acknowledged our presentation in some instances.   It is clear that Mr.
 Blakey intends to cite the testimony of former employee  Wilcott about
 what he did in Japan (we had discussed this previously  and achieved
 some compromises from a security point of view, but  clearly did not
 prevail in obtaining deletions about Wilcott's distribution  of funding
 operations in Japan; there is no mention of Tokyo Station.     We also
 appeared to have no success in persuading Mr. Blakey to  delete a summary
 of what the Cubans told the Committee about CIA photographic  surveillance
 in Mexico City in 1963.

         3.  We have already received and commented on two  drafts of
 sections of the report that have been received after we had  been told that
 we have seen all the drafts.  We now have yet an additional two  drafts, with
 yet another on the way.  It is hoped that these will affect the Agency  but
 marginally and that the reviews can be completed without a major  effort.
 If there are no more than these three last sections, this phase  should
 be over, so far as CIA is concerned.

         4.  We discussed with Mr. Blakey whether the Agency should make  a
 comment on the Nosenko paper.  The paper is a sort of rambling, on-one-hand-
 but-on-the-other-hand type of discussion.  It may prove useful  for the
 Agency to write a memorandum to the Committee summarizing what  it considers
 to be the key issues on the subject.

         5.  Blakey described his production problem.  He will have page
 proofs of the report printed at GPO.  He states that he has met  every
 request of ours on security matters and considers the drafts to be
 unclassified.  They will be handled in that way by GPO.  When he  receives
