            MEMORANDUM FOR:  Inspector General

            SUBJECT       :  HSCA Investigations


                 1.  Roger Gabrielson of OLC (now handling the HSCA since
            Doug Cummins' retirement) came to see me last week about requests
            from Mr. Blakey.  I had heard elsewhere that Blakey is restless
            at the way the Agency is responding to his requests, and Gabrielson
            told me that Blakey now wants to see the materials on which our
            Task Force's report is based.  I expressed-the opinion to Gabriel-
            son that I thought we could work out how HSCA staff members could
            see the basic documentation.  We have some of these specific back-
            up documents for many of the statements made inh Task Force
            report. LA Division  has the voluminous files 8`   th of what we
            have to say is based.  CI Staff has the so-callea Oswald file.  I
            suggested different rules for the different material along the
            following lines:

                    a.  Tab C contains material making  possible the
                identity of Cubans  in jail as well as AMLASH.  This
                presents problems that  I thought we could discuss with
                the HSCA.  I mentioned  specifically reading without
                note-taking.   I observed that Blakey had declared the
                AMTRUNK section as  irrelevant, which takes that entire
                section out of consideration so far as the HSCA  is con-
                cbrned.

                    b.  I noted that Tab D, on AMLASHzcontained a-lot
                of information that would permit his identification.
                They already know his true name, and we allowed the
                Church Committee to review the actual files in their
                raw form.  I thought that we could given them the same
                access subject to the note-taking-reservation and re-
                strictions in the final report.

                    c.  Tab E is a list of all the documents produced
                and disseminated in connection with the Warren Commission
                investigation.  The actual documents are in the possession
                of CI Staff and something could be worked out on this.  We
                spoke briefly on Russ Holmes sanitizing things ( a hor-
                rendous undertaking).
