                  SUBJECT:  Comments on HSCA Draft Reports Classified Top Secret



                           This particular package seems to consist of two drafts, one
                  of which is numbered pages 2000566 through 2000592.  It appears
                  to have some redundancy with an earlier draft having to do with
                  the opening of the Oswald File.  The second paper consists of pages
                  1-14.  (U)

                  I.  Oswald File

                     As a matter of form, one does not refer to the Deputy Directorate
                  of Operations but to the Directorate of Operations.  The DDO, literally,
                  is the person of the Deputy Director and it is only in shorthand that
                  the acronym DDO is used to refer to the Directorate of Operations.
                  This comment applies to pages 2000570-2000571.  (U)

                           On page 2000572, the last three lines of the first paragraph
                 might  be edited to read as follows: ...to determine who the writer was,
                 who opened  the file, and when it was done.  (U)

                          On  the same page, did the CIA reply say that disseminations
                 inside  CIA has always been based on written requirements?  There
                 are bound to have  been ad hoc disseminations.  (U)

                          At pages  2000574, 2000575, and 2000577, references are made
                 to William  Lawson and William Larson, apparently different spellings of
                 the same name.   Is this the name of an Agency employee?  Should it be
                 removed?   (C)

                          Is the references  to persons associated with the Deputy Director
                 of Operations mean literally  such a personal association or does it refer
                 to people in the Directorate?   In the same sentence the statement is
                 rather categorical about a document warranting  the opening of a 201 file;
                 rather than the word  would it would be more appropriate to use the word
                 could.  Such an action was a judgment  call and would not necessarily
                 have meant that a 201 file would or would not  have been opened.  (U)

                                              RETURN  TO CIA                           S .
