                                                        30 October 1975


                MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD

                SUBJECT:  Chief, CI Meeting with Mr. Paul Wallach, Chief
                          Counsel of Senate Select Committee on Intel-
                          ligence


                     This meeting occurred on Wednesday, 29 October 1975
                as a result of concern on the part of Senate Select
                Committee officers that the Agency was not forthcoming
                with file material related to the Lee Harvey Oswald case,
                i.e., 'the assassination of President Kennedy. The
                following points were made by the principals as indicated.

                Thief, CI - To open the meeting Mr. Kalaris made it.clear
                that the Agency is anxious to demonstrate that we have
                nothing to hide and that all pertinent material was made
                available to the Warren Commission. He added'that the
                procedure for making material available to the Senate
                Staff posed certain problems with regard to sources,
                methods and liaison, which were delaying the turnover of
                material.  He then presented several examples of the
                sanitization process in which cables taken directly from
                the 201 file were edited so that all evidence of source,
                method and liaison information was removed.

                Chief Counsel - As an opening reply Mr. Wallach stated
                that his position was that he considered that the Senate
                Committee should have the same access as the Rockefeller
                Commission.  He added that in his discussions with several
                senators on his committee they had mentioned reports that
                a Rockefeller reviewing official by the name of Belin who
                had had access to the original file,had appeared on several
                talk shows and was going to write a book based on his
                review of Agency holdings on the Oswald case.

                Chief, CI - Mr. Kalaris then pointed out that there were
                certain particularly sensitive aspects of the material
                which could not be released for use outside of the building.
