 MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD

 SUBJECT:   Schweiker Report Review


      1. Yesterday afternoon I met with Bob Wall (CI Staff),
 Bill Sturbitts (LA Division), and Jerry Brown (Office of Security).
 The purpose of the meeting was to get an idea of the work involved

in this respect. Sturbitts noted. that a detailed paper had been
prepared commenting  on the information in the book given by
Castro. to Senator McGovern.

      4. Bob Wall noted that he was Deputy Chief of PM in Miami
for three years. He raised a question as to whether the broader
program  was relevant to the issue of provocation, in the terms
posed by the Schweiker report. Later in the discussion he

overall program .established a context for what happened and that
