        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 Division,                currently 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.
