             MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD

             FROM         Richard L. Rininger
                          Assistant General  Counsel

             SUBJECT      Appearance of Mr.  Tennent Bagley Before
                          The HSCA



                  1.  On 15 November,  I spoke with Mr. Tennent (Pete)
             Bagley and his counsel, Philip Chabot,  concerning Mr. Bagley's
             appearance before the House  Select Committee on Assassina-
             tions on 16 November.

                  2.  This Office first became  aware that Mr. Bagley
             might make such an appearance on  13 November.  On that date
             Mr. Ernest Mayerfeld was contacted  by Mr. William Shaeffer
             of the Civil Division, DOJ.  Mr.  Shaeffer indicated that Mr.
             Bagley had written to DOJ requesting  that DOJ hire private
             counsel to represent him in an  appearance he planned to make
             before the Committee.

                  3.  Since Mr. Mayerfeld was  to be out of town for the
             next several days, he asked me  to contact Shaeffer and
             handle the matter.

                  4.  On 14 November I called  Shaeffer, but actually
             dealt with Ms. Janice Spasato  (633-3333).  I informed her
             that the Agency had not been contacted  by Bagley, nor had
             the Committee said anything to us  about him, so it would
             seem that he might be volunteering  an appearance.  I told
             her it was my understanding that Mr.  Bagley, who is retired,
             was living in Brussels.

                  5.  Ms. Spasato told me that Mr.  Bagley had returned to
             this country and was now residing  in Vienna, Virginia.  In
             his letter to DOJ  (we have no copy) he apparently indicates
             that he has returned in order to  set the record straight and
             was prepared to stay as long as necessary  to accomplish
             that.  Bagley wished to be represented  by Duncan, Brown,
   ----      Weinberg and Palmer, P.C.  (the firm which has represented
             James Angleton).
