                MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD

                SUBJECT:  Meeting with Mr. Blakey


                      1.  Mr. Leader and Inmet with Mr. Blakey and Mr. Cummins for
                about an hour this afternoon.

                      2.  I told Mr. Blakey that I had spoken to the IG and he in-
                formed me that we are authorized to give Mr. Cornwall access to the
                unsanitized version of the comments on the Schweiker Report, subject
                to his signing the same agreement signed by Mr. Blakey.

                      3.  I took the occasion.to emphasize again our uneasiness with
                some of the information exposed in the report. I reiterated same
                of the detail about persons in Cuba, as well as technical operations.
                Reference was made once more to the effect on various  reign]
                         if details of                                were t-be
                revea ed.  I expressed the opinion that the basic story could be told,
                where it was judged appropriate to discuss a given subject, without
                revealing sensitive sources and methods. I said that our work with  the
                Church Committee had been generally successful in this respect, and
                that language could usually be worked out that would convey the story
                while still protecting sources and techniques.

                     4.  Mr. Blakey indicated that at this point he felt that a number
               of  issues in our paper would prove irrelevant to his investigation.
               I told  him that I was of the opinion that a number of them are irrele-
               vant to the issue, but that we were addressing the Schweiker Report
               rather than the broader issue.  He indicated that he was specifically
               interested in the airplane flight that had been treated in the Schweiker
               Report, but that depending on how his investigation developed it might
               become irrelevant as well. . For instance, if he concluded that right-wing
               Cubans and criminal elements were responsible for the assassination a
               flight to Cuba ceased to have meaning.  However, if there was occasion
               to comment on that particular flight they would like to review the basis
               for our treatment of the subject.

                     5.  I expressed the hope that Mr. Cornwall would not need a number
               of people to do the work for him, as we wished very much to hold down
               the number of persons familiar with some of the operational -detail. He
               stated that he too wished to hold down the number.. I expressed the hope


                                                                           0o3  ig3
