                           THE DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE

                                    WASHINGTON, D. C. 20505


         Office of Legislative Counsel

                                             31 July  1978


               Mr.  G. Robert Blakey
               Chief  Counsel and Director
               Select  Committee on Assassinations
               House  of Representatives
               Washington,  D.C.   20515

               Dear  Mr. Blakey:

                     Along with other requests, your  letter of
                6 July 1978 seeks access to the Office  of Personnel
                files of certain employees.  We have  some reservations
                about making available everything contained  in these
                employees' files.

                     First, there is a variety of personal  information,
                the revelation of which would  intrude unnecessarily on
                the employee's privacy.  Further,  an Agency officer's
                file is more than just a compendium  of his career; there
                is much detail on assignments,  including the countries
                -where he served, the cover used, a rather detailed de-
                scription of duties, and information  on a wide variety
                of operations which are outside our  understanding of.
                the scope of your investigation.   Perhaps it would be
                possible for a member of my staff  to discuss the specific
                area(s) of HSCA interest with your  representative.  A
                mutually agreeable solution  should be available.

                     Since your investigator/researchers  have had the
               opportunity  to interview or depose  employees of interest,
               it  would appear that the above  course .of action would
               supplement  whatever narrow  areas the personal interview
               left  uncovered.

                                              Sincerely,



                                              S. D. Breckinridge
                                         Principal Coordinator, HSCA



                                     APPROVED FOR RELEASE 1993
