                                Thursday  - 6 July 1978


                 1.  (Confidential - MMP) LIAISON  Accompanied  Scott
            Breckinridge, Special Coordinator  for the House Select
            Committee on Assassinations, OLC,  and Rodger Gabrielson,
            OLC, to brief Thomas K. Latimer,  Staff Director, House
            Permanent Select Committee on  Intelligence, on the state of
            play as between the House  Select Committee on Assassinations
            and the Agency.  Mr.  Latimer immediately understood that the
            crux of the problem  lay in the House Select Committee on
            Assassinations possible  exposure of sensitive information
            (Nosenko and/or Mexico  operations) in open fora.  He said
            that he would brief  Chairman Edward P. Boland (D., Mass.),.
            House Permanent  Select Committee on Intelligence, and that
            the latter might  discuss the matter with Chairman Louis
            Stokes  (D., Ohio), House Select Committee on Assassinations.
            He suggested  that the best approach would be for the DCI to
            raise the  issues we were concerned about with Chairman Stokes
            and, then,  if necessary with the President.  The latter in
            turn could  register his concerns with Speaker of the House Thomas P.
            - O'Neill. Mr. Latimer said that the House Permanent Select Committee
            on  Intelligence charter precluded the House Permanent Select
            Committee  on Intelligence from playing a significant role in
            this matter.

                  2.  (Confidential - DFM)  LIAISON  Received a call from
            Spencer Davis,  Senate Select Committee on Intelligence staff,
            who asked for  the phone number of former Agency employee
            Newton S. Miler,  as one of the Committee staff members wanted
            to interview him.   June, 0/PCS/LOC/DDO, subsequently called
            Miler and,  in his absence, left a message that he call Davis.
            I informed Davis  this was how we had handled his request and
            he was satisfied.
                 I also  explained toDavi   the Agency's position .egarding
            retired Agency  employee Raymon  Close] who was -hief of Station]
                          and upon retiring took a position as a c nsultant
                 e      i Government.  Our position is'that asfCl8 ejhas
            retired,  the Agency has no control over his activi-t'ies other
            than through  his secrecy agreement which he signed and which
            remains  in effect.  Davis also asked me if the same situation
            was true  for a former Chief of Station in       and``*I said I
            would check.
