             MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD

             FROM        Richard L. Rininger
                         Assistant General Counsel

             SUBJECT     Appearance of Mr. Tennent Bagley Before
                         The HSCA



                 1.  On 15 November, I spoke with Mr. Tennent (Pete)
            Bagley and his counsel, Philip Chabot, concerning Mr. Bagley's
            appearance before the House Select Committee on Assassina-
            tions on 16 November.

            *    2.  This Office first became aware that Mr. Bagley
            might make such an appearance on 13 November.  On that date
            Mr. Ernest Mayerfeld was contacted by Mr. William Shaeffer
            of the Civil Division, DOJ.  Mr. Shaeffer indicated that Mr.
            Bagley had written to DOJ requesting that DOJ hire private
            counsel to represent him in an appearance he planned to make
            before the Committee.

                 3.  Since Mr. Mayerfeld was to be out of town for the
            next several days, he asked me to contact Shaeffer and
            handle the matter.

                 4.  On 14 November I called Shaeffer, but actually
            dealt with Ms. Janice Spasato (633-3333).  I informed her
            that the Agency had not been contacted by Bagley, nor had
            the Committee said anything to us about him, so it would
            seem that he might be volunteering an appearance.  I told
            her it was my understanding that Mr. Bagley, who is retired,
            was living in Brussels.

                 5.  Ms. Spasato told me that Mr. Bagley had returned to
            this country and was now residing in Vienna, Virginia.  In
            his letter to DOJ  (we have no copy) he apparently indicates
            that he has returned in order to set the record straight and
            was prepared to stay as long as necessary to accomplish
            that.  Bagley wished to be represented by Duncan, Brown,
            Weinberg and Palmer, P.C. (the firm which has represented
            James Angleton).
