                                                 26 April 1978


          MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD

          SUBJECT:   House Select Committee on Assassinations - A Projection



              1. (S) With less than eight months remaining until its final report to
          Congress is due, the HSCA investigations have narrowed to a few key areas
          which involve the Agency. Though the Committee mandate covers both
          the King and Kennedy Assassinations, the majority of our contact has been
          with the Kennedy investigators.

              2. (S) The Kennedy Subcommittee is addressing four questions:

                    A.  Who shot the President?

                    B.  Was it a lone assassin or a conspiracy?

                    C.  How did the agencies perform:

                          (1) prior to the assassination;

                          (2) protecting the President;

                          (3) during the subsequent investigations?

                    D.  Is any new legislation necessary?.

              3.  (S) Initially, the Kennedy Subcommittee had organized into four
          functional groups:

                    A.  Cuban-Connection Task Force led by Bill Triplett

                    B.  Oswald Task Force led by Ken Klein

                    C.  Organized Crime Task Force led by John Hornbeck

                    D.  CIA Involvement in the Assassination and Performance During
              Subsequent Inquiries Task Force led by Mickey Goldsmith.

          Most recent contact between OLC and HSCA staff has involved the Oswald and
          CIA Involvement-Performance  Task Forces. All groups have had access to
          CIA files, principally from Personnel, Security and DDO.



                                                                  .1  O.
