Mr. Walter Elder Review Staff - Central Intelligence Agency Langley, Virginia Dear Mr. Elder: 7 Lt This is to ‘confirm our discussion of February 20 regarding the deposition of certain requests of the Select Committee: - - . - q) With regard to the Comittee! s letter of February 6, and CIA's letter response 76- -0200/1 of February 11, I asked that a further attempt be made to identify the initials . “G.N.N.". Those’ initials follow handwritten comments on a ‘March 1965. document in the AMLASH file which proposed giving the Cuban government information which might compromise AMLASH. oo, (2) With regard to the Committee's letter of January 12. and CIA*s letter response 76-0062/1 of: February 11, I asked that CIA review its files.on Osvaldo Dorticos, Presi- dent of Cuba, to determine if the message received by Dr. Portell-Villa was Placed in those files. . (3) Dan’ Dwyer and I reviewed the list of CIA person- nel at the Mexico City station referenced in CIA's letter 76- 0083/3 of February 11 and agreed the list should remain at . the Agency. {4) I requested the Select Committee be provided the current address and telephone number of Mr.” John Whiten, the Desk Chief for Mexico in 1963. “O) With regard to the Committee’ Ss letter of January 29, requesting that two current Agency employees be made available for interviews, we agreed the Agency should provide | the Committee-a letter. stating whether or not these * SLE) were readily available for interviews. US ff
13-00000 Mr. Walter Elder Page Tyo (§) Tan Dwyer and I reviewed Agency originated documezts in CIA's 201 File on Gilberto Policarpo Lopez.
