 MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD

 SUBJECT:   House Select Committee on Assassinations  A Projection



     1. (S) With less than eight months remaining until its final report to
 Congress is due, the HSCA investigations have narrowed to a few key areas
 which involve the Agency. Though the Committee mandate covers both
 the King and Kennedy Assassinations, the majority of our contact has been
 with the Kennedy investigators.

     2. (S) The Kennedy Subcommittee  is addressing four questions:

           A.  Who shot the President?

           B.  Was it a lone assassin or a conspiracy?

           C. How  did the agencies perform:

                 (1) prior to the assassination;

                 (2) 'protecting the President;

                 (3) during the subsequent investigations?

           D. Is any new legislation necessary?

    3.  (S) Initially, the Kennedy Subcommittee had-organized into four
functional groups:

          A.  Cuban-Connection Task Force led by Bill Triplett

          B.  Oswald Task Force led by Ken Klein

          C.  Organized Crime Task  Force led by John Hornbeck

          D.  CIA Involvement in the Assassination and Performance During
    Subsequent Inquiries Task Force led by Mickey Goldsmith.

iMiost recent contact between OLC and HSCA staff has involved the Oswald and
CIA Involvement-Performance  Task Forces.  All groups have had access to
