MEMORANDUM FOR  : Director of  Central Inte  igence

VIA             : Deputy Director of Ce  ral  Intelligence

FROM            : S. D. Breckinridge

SUBJECT         : Letter of 11 September  1978 from
                   Chairman Stokes, House Select  Committee
                   on Assassinations


     1.  Action Requested: A recommendation for your  approval
is at paragraph 3.

     2.  Background:  The House Select Committee on Assassina-
tions (HSCA) has let a subpoena lapse without execution,  and
the 11 September letter from Chairman Stokes, a copy  of which
is attached, lists five items of interest to the Committee,
some of which were the subject of the earlier request.  The
five items are noted and commented on briefly below:

          a.  The letter specifies interest in mug
     books shown to a Cuban defector,  Having raised
     the questions, the letter then goes on to say that
     this is no longer a matter in dispute.  The
     material has been available for review by HSCA
     personnel for some two weeks now.

          b.  The Committee is interested in all
     debriefing memoranda relating to a Cuban defector.
     This was one of the subjects in the subpoena and
     relates to a debriefing memorandum (numbered 40)
     in a series of sequentially numbered documents.
     In fact, we believe that a debriefing memorandum
     that is unnumbered, but that appears to have been
     in the sequence of debriefings, has been reviewed
     by the HSCA investigator.  That investigator has
     been briefed on this and a written summary has
     been available for his review.  Chairman Stokes
     may not have been informed accurately on this
     point and we think that the explanation available
     is a valid one.
