MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD

FROM      Benjamin F. Pepper
          Chief, SE/ORP

SUBJECT:  Meeting with House Select Committee on Assassinations
          (HSCA) Staffer Ken Kline, 26 April 1978


     1.  For the second time I met with Mr. Ken Kline
for a couple of hours at CIA Headquarters, present also
were Mr. Patrick Carpentier and Shep Mr. Shepanek of
CIA.  During the latter portions of our meeting Vasia
Gmerkin of CI Staff joined us.  In haste, but for the
record, the following is noted:

         a.  With respect to the 835-page draft paper,
     which we are sanitizing for the House Select
     Committee for Assassinations CHSCA), I noted that
     we had some problems.  The first was the fact that
     there was alot of information on American and
     foreign leads supplied by Nosenko, that is
     identifications of individuals who are agents or
     developmentals, or were of interest to the KGB,
     as reported by Nosenko.  I noted that I realized
     that we had no legal right to excise these names
     (having been so informed by Mr. Len McCoy, DC/CI
     on the basis of his discussion with our lawyers),
     but that I failed to see why the biographic data
     was germane to the HSCA investigation.  I also
     noted that we would be excising any information
     regarding these leads that came to us from either
     the FBI or foreign liaison services.  Mr. Kline
     replied that the names of Americans were essential,
     but that he thought that his committee staff could
     do without the names of foreigners.  He promised
