               FROM           :  S. D. Breckinridge

               SUBJECT           Planning for the Final HSCA Report


                    1.  We have asked the HSCA to arrange to give us
               sections of its report at different times to facilitate
               our review and response.  There has been no response to
               this request although it has been made both in writing
               and orally.

                    2.  The Memorandum of Understanding with the Committee
               provides that the Committee will notify the DCI in writing
               of its desire to disclose any information designated for
               protection by the DCI.  Until advised to the contrary
               (and we will try to clarify it) our working assumption
               is that the submission of the final report to us will
               constitute a written notice of the desire to have the material
               in that report published.  If the Committee does not receive
               a response within five days, objecting to this and stating
               the reasons, then the Committee may disclose the information.
               There are provisions for subsequent exchanges on the point
               but the key provision is the first five-day period.

                    3.  As a practical matter we will have two separate
               reviews to conduct--a security review and a substantive
               review.  We probably should plan to conduct the two reviews
               at the same time.  Our formal agreement clearly provides
               for our right to take a stand in opposition to disclosure
               of sensitive material.  We have been told that the Committee
               will also  receive and consider any factual corrections
               that we offer and any statements of disagreement that we
