                                                           11 April 1978

               MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD

               SUBJECT:  HSCA and 1977 Task Force Report


                    1.  Yesterday Rodger Gabrielson of OLC phoned me about pass-
               ing Tab F of the 1977 report to the HSCA, for use in questioning
               of Anne Goodpasture, on whose research most of it is based.. I
               stated categorically that I was opposed to letting that section
               out of the building; it is replete with operational detail, in
               addition to which it contains reference to involvement of Ljii mer J
               e     f satewho   cooperated with us prior to his attaining that
               position.  I pointed out that it had been deleted from the sani-
               tized version in its entirety, while a selected few of the HSCA
               Staff had been permitted to see it at the Headquarters building.

                    2.  I told Gabrielson that, nevertheless, the material in
               this portion of the 1977 report was DDO material and he would
               have to clear it with SA/DDO in any event. He said he would speak
               with Don Gregg.  I asked that he spell out my reservations about
               it.  He said he would and that he woul.d call me back.

                    3.  Not having heard from Gabrielson I eventually phoned Gregg.
               He had spoken with Gabrielson and had agreed for the section in
               question to be delivered to the HSCA on a read-and-return basis.
               I repeated to.him the reservations I had; he-said Gabrielson had
               not mentioned them to him (Gregg- has not read the report, so is
               unfamiliar with its contents).  I told him the story of how the
               IG 1967 report on Castro (unsanitized) was lent to the Church
               Committee for 24 hours, and was copied; I predicted this would
               suffer -the same fate. I repeated the description of the kinds of
               materials in the report, stating that it should not be permitted
               out of Agency control; once Blakey disbands his group, and his
               discipline and control is lost, we can expect to see it in the
               press.  Gregg asked if having the paper in CIA hands, with a CIA
               observer at the Goospasture questioning, would suffice. I said
               that under the circumstances it would have to do.
