(S) On 1 May 1978, a meeting was held with HSCA representatives and FBI representatives. Present from the HSCA were: G.

Also present were Norbert Shepanek, O/SA/DO/O; Patrick Carpentier, of OLC, and myself. 2. (S) Mr. Blakey called the meeting to discuss Bernardo de Torres, who is purported to be a potential assassin and who was purported to be in Dealey Plaza on 23 November 1963.

(S) Mr. Blakey then turned his attention to the Agency's response to his written request for any and all files on de Torres. Mr. Shepanek pointed out that although there had been an earlier difficulty in locating the 201 on de Torres because of a matronymic/patronymic filing problem, the HSCA had been given access to all files over a month ago. Mr. Shepanek acknowledged that third agency documents were inadvertently left in the file which was provided to HSCA researcher Edwin Lopez. Mr. Lopez took notes upon these documents and submitted his notes for review at which time the error became known. The third agency documents, FBI items, were forwarded to Mr. Coulson on 28 April (Friday) for FBI review and possible release to HSCA. Mr. Coulson acknowledged that he had these materials and hoped to make them available to the Committee at FBI Headquarters immediately following the meeting. 74J.'o 6314cL'
