             MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD

             FROM      Benjamin F. Pepper
                       Chief, SE/ORP

             SUBJECT:  Meeting with House Select Committee on Assassinations
                       (HSCA) Staffer Ken Kline, 26 April 1978



                  1.  For the second time I met with Mr. Ken Kline
             for a couple of hours at CIA Headquarters, present also
             were Mr. Patrick Carpentier and Shep Mr. Shepanek of
 _ jCIA. During the latter portions of our meeting Vasia
             Gmerkin of CI Staff joined us.  In haste, but for the
             record, the following is noted:

                      a.  With respect to the 835-page draft paper,
                  which we are sanitizing for the House Select
                  Committee for Assassinations  (HSCA), I noted that
                  we had some problems.  The first was the fact that
                  there was alot of information on American and
                  foreign leads supplied by Nosenko, that is
                  identifications of individuals who are agents or
                  developmentals, or were of interest to the KGB,
                  as reported by Nosenko.  I noted that I realized
                  that we had no legal right to excise these names
                  (having been so informed by Mr. Len McCoy, DC/CI
                  on the basis of his discussion with our lawyers),
                  but that I failed to see why the biographic data
                  was germane to the HSCA investigation.  I also
                  noted that we would be excising any information
                  regarding these leads that came to us from either
                  the FBI or foreign liaison services.  Mr. Kline
                  replied that the names of Americans were essential,
                  but that he thought that his committee staff could
                  do without the names of foreigners.  He promised
