                                                        20 March 1979



                  MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD

                  SUBJECT:  Discussions with G. Robert Blakey, Chief Counsel and
                              Director, HSCA


                          1.  Messrs. William Sturbitts, DDO/LA; Dale Sumption, DDO/SE;
                 Julian  Fox, CI Staff; Jack Sullivan, OS; Russ Holmes, and I met with
                 Mr. Blakey  this morning to discuss substantive issues in the final
                 HSCA Committee  Report.

                         2.   I don't think we made many points although Mr. Blakey
                 acknowledged our presentation  in some instances.  It is clear that Mr.
                 Blakey intends to cite  the testimony of former employee Wilcott about
                 what he did in Japan  (we had discussed this previously and achieved
                 some compromises from  a security point of view, but clearly did not
                 prevail in.obtaining  deletions about Wilcott's distribut'on of funding
                 operations in Japan; there  is no mention of  okyo Station .  We  also
                 appeared to have no success  in persuading Mr.    tty todelete  a summary
                 of what the Cubans told the  Committee about CIA photographic surveillance
                 in Mexico City in 1963.

                         3.  We have already received  and commented on two drafts of
                 sections of the report that have been  received after we had been told that
                 we have .seen all the drafts. We now have yet  an additional two drafts, with
                 yet another on the way.  It is hoped that these will  affect the Agency but
                 marginally and that the reviews can be completed without a major effort.
                 If there are no more than these three last sections, this phase should
                 be over, so far as CIA is concerned.

                         4.  We discussed with Mr. Blakey whether the Agency should make  a
                 comment on the Nosenko paper.  The paper is a sort of rambling, on-one-hand--
                 but-on-the-other-hand type of discussion.  It may prove useful for the
                 Agency to write a memorandum to the Committee summarizing what it considers
                 to be the key issues on the subject.

                         5.  Blakey described his production problem.  He will have page
                proofs of  the report printed at GPO.  He states that he has met  every
                request of  ours on security matters and considers the drafts to be
                unclassified.   They will be handled in that way by GPO.  When he receives
