                                                         5 August 1978





                          Summa'ry Points oni HSCA Hearings


                1,  The ESCA has scheduled hearings on the assassination

                    of President Kennedy for weekdays, 6 - 29 September.

                    Preliminary hearings on the assassination of Martin

                    Luther King are to be 14 - 18 August and.November.

                2.  Areas of apparent emphasis appear to be CIA coverage

                    in Mexico City, and issues arising from the questions

                    of Nosenko's bona fides.  On the Nosenko matter,

                    CIA's treatment of Nosenko is also under scrutiny.

               3,  The Nexico  City story is essentially, in terms-of

                   Agency  coverage, one of sources-and-methods.  Aspects

                   of the Nosenko  story also involve sensitive matters.

               4.  Recent handling  of restricted Agency material (press

                   release), without checking with  the Agency, may

                   indicate lack of concern  about sensitive matiets.

               5,  HSCA has failed, despite  repeated requests, to discuss

                   with the Agency how to handle  sensitive matters in

                   public hearings.

               6.  Agency employees called to testify may  be faced with

                   the dilemma.. of violating their secrccy oath or risk-

                   ing a contempt citation,

               7.  The  iatter tends to become political, in addition to

                   whatever legal questions there are.
