                                          UGC /8-T/40

 MEMORANDUM FOR  THE RECORD                    /     78

 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).
