           MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD

           SUBJECT:   House Select Committee on Assassinations -- A Projection



               1. (S) With less than eight months remaining until its final report to
           Congress is due, the HSCA investigations have narrowed to a few key areas
     -     which involve the Agency. Though the Committee mandate covers both
           the King and Kennedy Assassinations, the majority of our contact has been
           with the Kennedy investigators.

               2.  (S) The Kennedy Subcommittee is addressing four questions:

                     A.  Who  shot the President?

        -.           B.  Was  it a lone assassin or a conspiracy?

                     C.  How  did the agencies perform:

                           (1) prior to the assassination;

                           (2) sprotecting the President;

                           (3) during the subsequent investigations?

                     D.  Is any new legislation necessary?

               3.  (S) Initially, the Kennedy Subcommittee had-organized into four
           functional groups:

                     A.  Cuban-Connection Task Force led by Bill Triplett

                     B.  Oswald Task  Force led by Ken Klein

                     C.  Organized Crime  Task Force led by John Hornbeck

                     D.  CIA Involvement in the Assassination and Performance During
               Subsequent Inquiries Task Force led by Mickey Goldsmith.

           Most recent contact between OLC and HSCA staff has involved the Oswald and
           CIA Involvement-Performance  Task Forces.  All groups have had access to
           CIA files, principally from Personnel, Security and DDO.
