Rhoads Archivist of the United States JUL 30 19%5) National Archives and Records Service — Eighth Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20408 Dear Dr. Rhoads: In accordance with Fritz Schwarz's letter to you of July 14, 1975 and subsequent discussions between the Select Committee staff, members of your staff, and Mr. Wilderotter, Select Committee staff members have reviewed materials at the Kennedy and Eisenhower Libraries relating to Laos and to paramilitary activity in general. It may be necessary to review some addition of those materials again, but for the moment my purpose in writing to you is to ask if some of the materials already re- viewed could be made available to the Committee for our use here in the Senate. A list of those documents we request for that purpose is attached, as is a letter to Mr. James Wilderotter on this subject. All of our staffers who have utilized the facilities at Waltham over the past several weeks have told me that they have been extremely grati- fied by the helpful and cooperative attitude of the Kennedy Library per- sonnel. We are most appreciative of that assistance and also of the crucial support which your office has provided. Sincerely yours, David Aaron Attachments cc: The Honorable James A.

Wilderotter Associate Counsel to the President The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. Wilderotter: \ Following correspondence and conversations between the Committee and the Administration earlier this month, Committee staff members re- viewed various materials at the Kennedy and Eisenhower Libraries concerned with Laos or paramilitary operations in general. AS per our agreement, notes were taken but no copies of any documents were made. In order to facilitate the work of the Committee, we are asking the Archivist to make a number of those documents available for our use here at the Committee. Our letter to Dr. Rhoads, together with the attached list of requested documents, is enclosed. I would very much appreciate your assistance in facilitating the provision of. those documents to the Committee. In closing, let me add a note of thanks for your willing cooperation in giving Committee staff access to materials on these areas, as well as the assassination issue. Assistance in that spirit helps immeasurably in reaching informed and considered judgments as quickly as possibile, which I think we can all agree is in the national interest. , With best regards.
