              SUBJECT:  Senate  Select Committee Requests for Witnesses
                        on  Operational Substance -- Issues Raised



                   1.  The  Senate Select Committee has not yet actually
              scheduled DDO  staffers who are now on active duty, but a
              specific request  has been made to talk with James Kelly
              of EA Division  regarding the assassination plot against
              Chou en Lai.   The SSC has also expressed interest in
              several DDO  staffers, including Robert Owen and Nestor
              Sanchez of  LA Divisiono   I Iicurrently a Career
              Associate,  and Bronson Tweedy, who is-on short-term contract
              in Headquarters.   We have been able to hold off actual  -
              scheduling  of substantive operational conversations pending
              a resolution  on how to handle covert action material.  FR
              Division  is standing by to appear for a non-operational
              briefing  covering organization,  mission, etc.

                    2.  Attached hereto is a Senate Select Committee
              document  entitled Outline for Inquiry Procedures which
              represents  the-Committee's own ground-rules.

                    3. According  to this attachment, witnesses or
               interviewees will fall into two categories:

                    a.  Those discussing information on the structure
                        and functions of CIA plus substantive work,
                        including the legal basis of DDO activity and
                        the approval process; the capacities of CIA
                        and its responsibility to provide information
                        for other government entities.  In this category,
                        a CIA representative may be present at the inter-
                        view.

                    b.  Those who will be asked questions regarding CIA
                        or Executive Branch abuses or other controversial,
                        specific matters where improprieties may.have
                        occurred.  In this category, a CIA representative
                        may not be present unless an exception is negotiated.
