              SUBJECT:  Senate Select Committee Requests for Witnesses
                        on Operational Substance --  Issues Raised



                   1.  The Senate Select Committee has not yet actually
              scheduled DDO staffers who are now on  active duty, but a
              specific request has been made to talk with James Kelly
              of EA Division regarding the assassination plot  against
              Chou en Lai.  The SSC has also expressed  interest in
              several DDO staffers, including Robert Owen  and Nestor
              Sanchez of LA Divisiono II              currently a Career
              Associate, and Bronson Tweedy, who is-on short-term  contract
              in Headquarters.  We have been able  to hold off actual -
              scheduling of substantive operational  conversations pending
              a resolution on how to handle  covert action material.  FR
              Division is standing by to  appear for a non-operational
              briefing covering organization,  mission,  etc.

                   2.  Attached hereto  is a Senate Select Committee
              document entitled Outline  for Inquiry Procedures which
              represents the-Committee's own  ground-rules.

                   3.  According  to this attachment, witnesses or
              interviewees will  fall into two categories:

                   a.  Those  discussing information on the structure
                        and functions of CIA plus substantive work,
                        including the legal basis of DDO activity and
                        the approval process; the capacities of CIA
                        and its responsibility to provide information
                        for other government entities.  In this category,
                        a CIA representative may be present at the inter-
                        view.

                   b.   Those who will be asked questions regarding CIA
                        or Executive Branch abuses or other controversial,
                        specific matters where improprieties may.have
                        occurred.  In this category, a CIA representative
                        may not be present unless an exception is negotiated.
