             MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD

             SUBJECT:   House Select Committee on Assassinations - A Projection



                 1. (S) With less than eight months remaining until its final report to
             Congress  is due, the HSCA investigations have narrowed to a few key areas
             which involve the Agency. Though the Committee mandate covers both
             the King and Kennedy Assassinations, the majority of our contact has been
             with the Kennedy investigators.

                 2.  (S) The Kennedy Subcommittee is addressing four questions:

                       A.  Who  shot the President?

                       B.  Was  it a lone assassin or a conspiracy?

                       C.  How did the agencies perform:

                              (1) prior to the assassination;

                              (2) protecting the President;

                              (3) during the subsequent investigations?

                       D.  Is any new legislation necessary?

                 3.  (S) Initially, the Kennedy Subcommittee had organized into four
             functional groups:

                       A.  Cuban-Connection Task Force led by Bill Triplett

                       B.  Oswald Task Force led by Ken Klein

                       C.  Organized Crime Task Force led by John Hornbeck

                       D.  CIA Involvement in the Assassination and Performance During
                 Subsequent Inquiries Task Force led by Mickey Goldsmith.

            Most  recent contact between OLC and HSCA staff has involved the Oswald and
            CIA  Involvement-Performance Task Forces.   All groups have had access to
            CIA  files, principally from Personnel, Security and DDO.
