 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 distribut*on of funding
 operations in Japan; there is no mention of       Station .   We also
 appeared to have no success in persuading       a ey to  elete 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
