                                                          11 April 1978

              MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD

              SUBJECT:  HSCA and 1977 Task Force Report

                   1.  Yesterday Rodger Gabrielson of OLC phoned me about pass-
              ing Tab F of the 1977 report to the HSCA, for use in questioning
              of Anne Goodpasture, on whose research most of it is based.. I
              stated categorically that I was opposed to letting that section
              out of the building; it is replete with operational detail, in
              addition to which it contains reference to involvement oflAi:fi fjr
                            who cooperated with us prior to his attaining that
              position.7I  pointed out that it had been deleted from the sani-
              tized version in its entirety, while a selected few of the HSCA
              Staff had been permitted to see it at the Headquarters building.

                   2.  I told Gabrielson that, nevertheless, the material in
              this portion of the 1977 report was DD  material and he would
              have to clear it with SA/DDO in any event.  He said he would speak
              with Don Gregg.  I asked that he spell out my reservations about
              it.  He said he would and that he woul.d call me back.

                   3.  Not having heard from Gabrielson I eventually phoned Gregg.
              He had spoken with Gabrielson and had agreed for the section in
              question to be delivered to the HSCA on a read-and-return basis.
              I repeated to.him the reservations I had; he-said Gabrielson had
              not mentioned them to him (Gregg-has not read the report, so is
              unfamiliar with its contents).  I told him the story of how the
              IG 1967 report on Castro (unsanitized) was lent to the Church
              Committee for 24 hours, and was copied;  I predicted this would
              suffer -the same fate. I repeated the description of the kinds of
              materials  in the report, stating that it should not be permitted
              out of Agency control; once Blakey disbands his group, and his
              discipline and control is lost, we can expect to see it in the
              press.  Gregg asked if having the paper in CIA hands, with a CIA
              observer at the Goospasture questioning, would suffice.  I said
              that under the circumstances it would have to do.
